Vampires of Southeast Asia​

https://armageddonsafari.substack.com/p/vampires-of-southeast-asia

Down in the Mekong Delta of Southern Vietnam, as elsewhere in Indochina, for the lady vampires who walk the land, it the sun’s out, they’re covered head to toe, just like the most chaste Taliban bride one could imagine.

But it’s not about religion.

What’s it about is skin tone, and keeping that as light as possible so as not to misconstrued as a peasant.

There is a deeply rooted cultural norm involved… skin color and beauty. In many societies, and especially in Asia, dark skin has long been associated with working in the fields and, therefore, rural poverty. On the other hand, pale skin is associated with living a more comfortable, cosmopolitan life indoors, out of the sun. Skin color is thus a sign of social class…

This preference for white skin is reinforced via the media: television, magazines, and billboards. Pharmacies stock an array of skin-whitening creams; some even promise to lighten the color of the most intimate body areas, such as nipples or armpits.”

The ingrained Eurocentric beauty ideals, stemming from class distinctions and colonialism, continue to influence societal norms in Asia. While the preference for pale skin remains prevalent in many Asian countries, the tide is slowly turning as new standards of beauty gain momentum. The potential for change is palpable. It will take a collective effort to deconstruct these discriminatory beauty norms and foster a society that celebrates inclusivity and the beauty of all skin tones.”

But what else would one expect from ideologically captured urchins who chalk literally every social phenomenon up to racism enacted by the white devil?

Given that the sun hasn’t touched these women’s skin in years, their vitamin D levels have to be in the tank.
