The first link is infinitely interesting! It strikes me as funny/sad that I never even considered wills to be a reason gays need to be able to get married.

I still think tans are inherently better than non-tans, though. Especially on fat people.

I still think our love of tans is completely cultural and has nothing to do with what is inherently better. If we truly valued darker skin over lighter skin, we wouldn't have such a problem with racism.

My friend Varsha makes fun of how people try to get sun in the summer in order to get a tan, because she says that in India, people are super careful to stay indoors and covered up when it's sunniest in order to keep their skin as light as possible.
