what constitutes as a "better life"? Sure there are alot of people that prefer skin to be lighter, but theres also people that prefer skin to be darker. I honestly dont even know how people can really think like that though, that one color is better than the other. I guess being mixed gives me a completely unbiased perception on race.
Do Lighter Skinned people have better lives?

In Nepal they treat treat you like garbage if you have dark skin you can't get what decent work there might be if you come from a lighter skinned family and end up born with darker skin they might just throw you away with the trash. Its like that in a lot of places, my buddy from Dominican Republic says every body over there tries to marry somebody lighter skinned than them.
Fucked up shit.
As far as phenotype determining mating selection in humans I vaguely remember a study where they took sweaty tee shirts off dudes and asked chicks which scent they preferred it came out that they where more turned on by the scents of the more genetically different dudes or something.

kinda true. Like I kno 1 girl I went 2 school with, every time sum would mention her name, they'd have to bring up the fact that she's "dark as night." kinda funny, but after a while it gets old. Then, there was another girl, Filipino, who was on the swim team or something in high school, and she quit mid-season. "Why?" I asked her... She said it was because her dad made her leave the team because he told her that she was getting "too dark." I kno in Filipino culture, it's considered a disgrace to be darker. Like over in the Phillipines, there's a "race" of people or w/e u wanna call it, that have been forced to move to the mountains and stay away cuz they're dark and cursed and all this other bullshit. And that carries over to most older Filipinos' way of thinking over here in America too. Most of the older 1's would seem to hate/discriminate against me or talk behind my back in Tagalog just cuz I'm black. And they teach their children this and it's a whole cycle of racism that keeps going on, and on, and on. It's kinda upsetting how people can still think like this, but hey, the world is a fucked-up place with fucked-up people.
I'm kinda the same. It depends who u talk to. This doesn't happen to me as much now, as it did when I was older, but white people would think I'm hella black/dark and black people would see me and try to cast me off as whiter since my skin-color is kinda caramel. I guess that's y I always had more Mexican homies. They never really seemed to care that much. It's all in the eye of the beholder I guess.
Its funny no one really brought up how much gender plays a role in this whole discussion. I think lighter skinned women tend to have better lives...I don't mean as in more money or anything material. I mean they tend to have an easier time growing up. When I was a kid I remember all the darker chicks getting dogged all the time, fucking up their self-esteem.
