This is such an important topic that I'm glad Asian Boss covered. As someone who lived in Japan, Thailand, and currently Korea, the obsession of white skin is very normal and usual.
That's amazing that Miss Gray won but I do think it's important to tackle on the systematic idea of "did she win simply because she isn't full Filipina?"
When I lived in Thailand, skin bleaching is advertised everywhere and mixing with white or East-Asian folks was ideal as it considered to be closer to the beauty standard. I can't' fully blame them since advertisements and the media consistently push out whiter looking models, actors, and actresses while denying folks of darker-skinned tone AKA what the majority looks like. This causes for a lot of women (and men too), to feel pressure to achieve this "ideal" look and therefore they bleach their skin or go to some extremes to do so. This is really normal in Asia. As an English teacher in Korea, I try to tell my Korean students that they are all beautiful. A lot of them have darker tanned skin and I tell them they look amazing simply because I know the outside world tells them otherwise.
We need to have this discussion and tackle these problems in order to promote beauty in everyone - but especially darker-skinned folks since they are consistently being ignored and muted.
Miss Gray is beautiful, but not because she is whiter. Also, there are so many tanned and darker Filipinas that are very beautiful too! All colors are gorgeous, and I can't wait for the day where those with dark skin can be seen worldwide as beautiful too - because they are.
