This will just inject to "vulnerable" people that white is beauty and being dark colored is a subordinate. I will be more raged if somewhere along the episodes, the black one will become white and the society will accept her just because of her color. Again, this is misrepresentation. Stupid mass media.

You know what would have been more acceptable, imho?
If the "black" person in that teleserye would develop in such a way that it's believable, while not compromising on the core of what she's like. Whether society "accepts" her or not would be beside the whole point – I would be much happier if she developed in the line of becoming a better, more rational person, and not giving a damn about what people think of her.
Also, this isn't the first time I've seen the "Black vs. White" theme played out. GMA just happened to have done did an incredibly piss-poor job of portraying it, in what I can only call accidental fantastic racism.
It's just pathetic when a cartoon about talking ponies (and Friendship!) did a much better job at playing out the white and dark-skinned motiff, and even managing to get away with making both characters lovable in their own unique way. Luna vs. Celestia, anyone?
*Sighs* When can we just get dark-skinned actors instead of going through all the trouble of painting the fair ones? They didn't even bother to make it look realistic. D:
