Vaseline is a brand owned by Unilever Corporation, which says of itself: "Ever since the 19th Century when William
Hesketh Lever stated that the company's mission was "to make
cleanliness commonplace; to lessen work for women; to foster health and contribute to personal attractiveness, that life may be more enjoyable and rewarding for the people who use our products" --

It's Unilever's position that non-white skin is a problem to be dealt with in order to achieve "personal attractiveness" :-P
- louislouis 17y agoIn Asian culture the women prefer lighter skin and see it as a sign of beauty. It's not that Unilever is saying non-white is a problem, they're just tapping into the cultural belief thats already there.

- w00pla 17y agoIn Africa a lighter skin is preferred. You can say it is racist and whatnot, but then again, people in the west prefer a darker (tanned) skin.
