I come from the wonderful and multicultural land of
Malaysia. Malaysia is filled with diverse people that are generally friendly.
But often, I get to hear a lot of painfully discriminatory comments because of
my skin colour, I used to feel hurt and wondered what was so wrong in being
dark?
I was once told to go to the temple and pray
for a new face; to ask the Goddess for a better and fairer complexion. Of
everything I have been told about my skin colour, this was the comment that
really hurt.
