Lighter Asians did it a lot in similar ways, with some similar reasoning. Pale "jade skin" and such has definitely been praised in China and Japan, and whitening of the skin with makeup goes back centuries. Negative treatment or "exotic" treatment of dark skinned Asians (especially Pacific Islanders) is kinda common too, and darker skinned westerners find it harder to live there and work there than white westerners.
