"[My] worldwide friends in Thai dating" say, "FIND YOUR FARANG LOVE," with a white person pasted on their ad.
This popped up on facebook to bother me. It bothers me. The whole fixation the world has on skin color, on money, on things we can see. Farang, in Thai, means white person. Foreigner.
It's getting on my nerves.
Drinking milk while pregnant does NOT make your babies skin whiter.
Neither does drinking black coffee make them darker.
Smearing on lotion with milk in it will NOT make your skin whiter, and
WHO CARES THAT IT DOESN'T?
(are people even reading this?)

Hey Bethany thanks for reading my blog. I want to write more, but i'm overflowing with projects, school and the usual video games. It's a labor of love and there will be more, a lot more at some point, thanks. Until than i'll keep reading your, keep up the good work.
