Read this article http://www.peak.sfu.ca/the-peak/98-2/issue1/colourbar.html I already said what my point was and I don't need to repeat myself. As for Arab not being a race, it's still used in a racial context just like Caribbean is. Middle Eastern, Arab ethnicities, whatever, you know what I'm talking about. Stop the hair-splitting. "Maybe it’s a kind of comfort to you to relate your experiences with wanting to be light skinned perhaps?" LOL! Spare ME! What if I told you I AM light-skinned? Regardless don't assume. These tangent remarks appear to be a means of evasion. If there are Arabs who are fine with their natural features and don't care to lighten their eyes, skin hair etc than great. My point was Arab culture overall and the public media. Both Mona and Edmund have given evidence of the fixation of lightness with 'mothers,' celebrities etc. It's just a discussion. Pull back your fangs. Lisa, you’re rude and you missed the point. Read this article

I find myself only attracted to women who have dark hair and dark eyes BUT I (like the stereotype) am more attracted to fairer skinned ladies. I do not mind women with natural (no spray and glow) tans, but I can only go so dark... (Arab mothers to blame). Growing up as a first generation westerner the culture of ones parents and grandparents really shapes how you view society and what you deem as acceptable. I am happy though with this. If given the choice now between an Arab girl and any other, I would go with Arab. Can I really be faulted? As for blonde and blue eyes... No thank you.

I think that is one reason why so many women what ever their nationality maybe dye their brown or black hair blond. They are trying to differentiate themselves from a big sea of brunettes and black haired ladies. There is fierce competition for mates in a world where women out number men. Women will do what ever it takes to gives themselves an edge.

But only few of them realizes the actual problem and follow the good perfect method for good condition. It really makes a very good story.

And Arab is NOT a race, it never was I'm sorry to tell you, unlike black. Similarily, Carribean is ALSO not a race. So me saying there are Arabs of all shades is RIGHT, we were mixed right from DAY ONE. So please, spare us with your "CLAIM" to know arabs. And yes, we are experiencing globalization, but I am sad to see that all you interview mona about when it comes to globalization is skin and eye colour. Maybe its a kind of comfort to you to relate your experiencs with wanting to be light skinned perhaps? geena, please….before you make your generalizations, do some research.

I just considered it stange that you said 'naturally.' Another point I want to make is how there seems to be denial on this subject -- linking the world's fascination of lighter eyes and skin with Europe (besides people that are already light-skinned such as Japanese). I don't know if it's naïveté, ignorance/inability to see the effects of past history on the present or what but it sure is exasperating (when you want a truthfull discussion on a problem).
