In Asian culture the women prefer lighter skin and see it as a sign of beauty. It's not that Unilever is saying non-white is a problem, they're just tapping into the cultural belief thats already there.

It is a sign of beauty, in the sense that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It's not unreasonable to give the customer what they want.

I'm pretty sure this is true in Australia too.
