Identity Crisis - Meseret - 01-02-2013
Business is booming for the many pharmaceutical companies invested in the science of skin-whitening. As millions of Africans buy into the wealth, culture and, increasingly, the skin colour of Western society, is Africa in the midst of an identity crisis? The growing preference for white skin is not merely one of choice or aesthetics, but seems to grow from self-doubt and the lingering confusions of post-colonial identity.

I am one who gets red instead of brown. Still, I am quite happy with who I am ... I also see many brown indian girls with white faces. What's up with that?
At the end of the day, the thing is to be happy with who you are.
