Being pale is a class/wealth thing rather than a race thing.

[(Anonymous)]

This. Being pale has been a symbol of class/wealth in many cultures because it meant that you were rich enough that you didn't have to work outdoors. It had nothing to do with the skin color itself and everything to do with the fact that it was a sign you weren't constantly exposed to the sun like most workers were.

ayrt Yes, which is why you'll sometimes see Thai construction workers clad head to toe inc face in coverings despite the heat to keep the sun off to keep their skin pale, it's aspirational. Or people on bikes with one hand awkwardly on an umbrella in full sun. Though (and I know more about Thailand), being pale is more like being Chinese, which is linked to class/wealth. And in fact in the West, being more white is linked to class/wealth too, you can't exactly separate it out. Plus, aren't the northern island Japanese darker skinned as they're a different race, and that's looked down upon, so you definitely don't want to be mistaken for those?

Oh and also pale skin is a youth thing in many cultures in Asia too, though less urban, because if you're working outside all your life, you get darker and darker.
