Today, I won a gruelling fitness competition, only to find out the mystery prize was a voucher to get 10 free spray tans. I'm black. FML

Awesome that you won... Shame about the prize. I feel your pain... I'm brown. Give it away as a gift or donate to a local fundraiser.

congrats on winning a fitness competition! :)

I go to tanning salons all of the time with my white friends and I get weird looks just from being there haha. But I hear the same thing about spray tanning giving darker people a "glow" so try it out.

They should have a separate prize for that case if not that wasn't planned very well

Stuff like this needs to be publicised, why not invite your local paper to pick up on it and make fun of the stupid contest people? Then maybe next time they'll think twice about assuming that everyone who enters will be white because that's the default setting for human beings.

Honestly, that seems like a craptacular prize regardless of original skin colour.

Congrats on kicking ass as it sounds OP! As far as the prize, I would say kicking everybody else's ass is a prize too. Sell the spray tan
