The Thais didn't need a chart to tell them that. Even in Isan, the shops are full of skin whitening products, and in Chiangmai, where skins are naturally much fairer, I know Thai men who will hardly venture out into the sunlight.
I suspect the preference goes back to the days of the Ayuthya monarchy, when royalty.... and above all their concubines.... treasured fair skin as an indication that they didn't have to work in the fields.
And as for portraying a Negro.... well, there aren't any Negroes in Thailand, so nobody's feelings will be hurt, will they?T.I.C.

Many professional footballing foreigners are of that persuasion together with a few English teachers here.
One thing I learnt from working in Chiangmai U.is that, however nicely the Thai colleagues behave to you, in the Thai class structure foreigners come below Thais and, just maybe, above hilltribes.

Darlie (formerly Darkie) comes from Taiwan, and was changed to pander to the susceptibilities of Western customers. Nothing to do with Thailand.
