I think it's because of the following reasons:
1. Darker colours are often associated with negative traits like dirt, filth, danger, etc.
2. Historically, poorer people had to work outside in the sun, which made them tanned, associating skin fairness with higher status.
3. As far as I know, White people have very even skin tones. Brown and Black people on the other hand have various shades of brown all over their body.
4. Fair skinned people look better when they are blushing. I guess it's because red/pink goes well with light colours and it is more visible.
These are just my observations.
