Here in Asia the opposite is true. I live in Taiwan and the lengths the Taiwanese go to to keep the sun off is ridiculous sometimes. Like the Japanese, they happen to believe pale is beautiful.
As for myself I like having a tan. Originally I'm from the UK and we see very little of the sun there. Being able to go outside and swim and read beneath it is a luxury for me. Not to mention the benefits of vitamin D.
Yes, too much sun is dangerous and should be avoided. So is too little. As with most things in life - coffee, alcohol, foods full of starch etc - balance and moderation are key.
