"And if you truly can't squeeze out the funds, but still want to project an international atmosphere, I suggest using black people. They have a very open personality yet are quite cheap."

Oh. My. God.

I do wonder why does this seem to happen universally in the world? Why does apparently every culture think whites are pretty and blacks are ugly? I think it's more than European colonialism. It seems to be ingrained even in children.

The following example from Mexican children comes to mind:

I could translate it if anyone's interested, but they basically show kids a white and a brown doll and ask them which one is good and which one is pretty and they all uniformly point to the white doll.
