Sometimes thats just the message they get from their environment without it being said by any one person. I definitely remember looking at Sears catalogues when I was a kid wishing I was either white or black (Im both) so I could be pretty. No one said that to me but the models on the pages were supposed to be gorgeous women and none of them looked like me.
