>>8677385It has never been about 'looking like a different race'(except for bgal). If you'd know about Japanese beauty standards you'd know that its ultimate goals are white skin and perfect black hair. If you'd know about their culture, it's all about fitting in and the system is extra hard for girls, because even today, arranged marriages are not uncommon.
A lot of Japanese girls have a natural tan and only going out in the sun for about a few minutes will make them look super tanned, which is considered ugly among Japanese, sure they also go to tanning salons, but not all of them.
And now please think where the sense is. The sense of this is to rebel against a system of which theses girls and boys didn't/don't want to be a part of. they want to celebrate their beauty and added a lot of bling to it.
