I think it's because there's such a huge push in the real world for skin lightening products and diet products that imposing those standards on a fictional character feels a little gross. Because there's not a huge RL push for POC to darken their skin, or for people to become chubbier, doing the opposite doesn't seem quite as charged.

Except in the summer when people keep pushing tanning products on you.

Yes, but you don't want to get *too* dark. Tan but stay clearly white for maximum societal beauty.

That's why I specified POC get the skin lightening, to look more white. Growing up I had a black friend who joked about how she wasn't allowed to play sports or spend too much time outside because she had pretty light skin and her mom didn't want her to turn into a 'tar baby'. At the time we shrugged it off as kids, but thinking back it was sad.

The ideal is a obviously white person who has enough money to spent leisure time in the sun instead of inside at work all day. Or who has found a rich enough husband to afford them that leisure while he does the working.
