colorism is the daughter of racism

Wow I never thought of that. Strange how people from backgrounds such as Asian, African, Caribbean and Latin American usually preach about racism yet become racist towards each other over skin tone.
I had relatives telling me that I shouldn’t wear this type of clothing because it doesn’t go with my skin tone. I’m like “P**s off, mate! No one asked you!” That’s like telling me that I shouldn’t shop at Hollisters because it’s for “skinny” people.

It’s ridiculous!!!
I’ve heard it all from the South Asian community. They really do not like it when someone is tanned.
Don’t forget products like Fair & Lovely are dangerous for your skin. It won’t keep you fair at all!

It’s very racist how they are saying being fair (close to white as possible) is lovely.
British ruled over south asian countries with an iron grip so I am not surprised.

Exactly!! These products don’t make you “fair”. I don’t know if that is used in other communities but I’m not sure if it’s banned in South Asian countries. We probably don’t have it here in the UK I guess, we don’t really bother with that stuff.
Remember that meme from Family guy with the colour chart? I found that strange.

Lol, for me it was about how police see you. If you’re like close to white as possible then you’re good but if you are dark or brown then nah-

Yeah, that unusual colour chart they had for that episode. So weird!
Like it’s strange how we call people “white” when it’s a shade. Most of the Europeans are pretty pale but you can get tanned Europeans like Mediterranean.
