My friend Camel linked me to Louis Theroux's Weird Weekend series.

I've heard condescending remarks about nationals with darker skin in Korea, Thailand, China, Vietnam, India, Taiwan, and even here where I am in the UAE (which is lumped together with Asian teams in sporting events). In Japan in the mid-90's, a subculture of young people used to flock to the beaches and get really really tanned, and I thought that a move in the right direction (though probably not such a great idea for health reasons). My wife's family in Korea refers to her jokingly as "the starving Indonesian" when she returns. It really is a bullshit issue held over from 19th century attitudes, and, for me, symbolized by the ubiquitous parosol. The skin color hierarchy thing in Korea is also a pan-Asia theme.
