Thank you for reading Pearl.
Dear google, you have my location and I didn’t turn on a VPN, why exactly am I getting these results?
You getttt!!!!!
You talked about two different things that I am kind of confused about. Are we talking about our country now or the world at large? Allow me to drop my two cents regardless
It's not two different things. It's the same concept, but in different contexts. Colorism is a global bias. It is even more sad that as a black country, we have this kind of conversation. It goes on to explain my point about internalized white supremacy.
First of all, no one chooses to be white, fair, dark or black, so I guess the society is to be blamed for this particular topic. I don’t know who made the rules, but I dare to say they are fools, for being so shallow-minded and throwing the world into a rat race from their own idea of perfectionism. After we talk about colorism, then we should proceed to talk about sizeism (Lol, it’s endless sis, and I will definitely write about this soon)
I agree we cannot choose our race, but shade?? I don't know about that.
I'm glad you also think it's a social construct.
I look forward to your write up on sizeism, because the construct is also quite controversial. The beauty standard is the slim girls, while on the flip side is the praising of thick girls. I think this topic goes hand in hand with body shaming.
