ever watch telemundo or univision? talk show hosts, news reporters, actors & actresses on novelas, game show hosts, people on commercials... they're all light skinned w/ european features. unless they're playing a lower class character, of course.
a while back i read this article in latina magazine actually advocating the use of skin lighteners. the article said they should be used to even out the skin tone, but i could do that getting a tan. needless to say, i don't read latina magazine anymore.
