In Asia preference toward lighter skin tone existed before race idea introduced. Basically peasants working outside got tanned vs nobles staying indoors, it was class-based discrimination. It's by no means pretty back then and later meld with western racism and got messier

As someone educated in Japanese subculture I thought it was testing knowledge of hasshaku-sama (urban legend of 8 ft tall mistress, you may also find spicy contemporary interpretation too).
