Takara Allen, who is mixed-race woman from Adelaide,
Australia, was told to go and bleach on her first date from a man she went on a
Tinder date with. Here’s what the man told her:
"Don’t think I’m a creep and I don’t wanna be offensive
or anything but I was just looking at your insta photos and just curious, but
have you ever thought about bleaching your skin?? You’d look so much prettier
if you were whiter!”
The woman replied with this sharp-tongued response before
blocking him on all mediums of contact: "Have you ever considered drinking
bleach because the world would be so much prettier if you did,”.
She added: "I’ve grown up hearing ‘You’d be prettier if
you were lighter’ and 'You’re pretty for a black girl,’ as if black women are
just generally unattractive, and so it’s a surprise when one of us is,” she
wrote.
