The Spanish and Americans, I must say, has a very strong influence on the Filipino's mindset. First was the marriage tradition, and now, it even ventures into the territory marked "beauty". Yes, believe it or not, the Filipino feel that white is beauty, although they have naturally tanned skin. That is why even the children are taught this from a very young age and are cajoled into using bleaching and whitening cream or products for their skin, even being strongly encouraged to stock up on anti-pimple and anti-blackheads face cream to ensure that their skin is white and beautiful. This mindset is from the Spanish and Americans as they practised ethnocentrism and believed that their race was superior, therefore reinforcing the point that their skin colour was the most beautiful.
