I am "kayumanggi". I certainly am not white nor fair-skinned. I have been an easy target of name-calling since time immemorial. They call me Ms. ARGEN-tina. If you read the bold letters backward, you would know why.
I don't have problems with my skin color. I am proud of it. Tease me all you like, you'll get a little drama and a little drop in self-image from me. But that's that. Nothing more, nothing less. I love my kayumanggi as much as I love the Earth and its colors.
I have nothing against "White is Beautiful" and "Once you go black, there's no going back". It will all boil down to the confidence-injector proverb, "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder".
It is, it really is.
Ego-tripping. =)
