Anybody that grew up in the Indian Subcontinent, African country and SE Asian country especially as a woman, believed one thing: Being fair is better. The message has always been and continues to be that lighter skin means success in all realms of your life. The discrimination for darker skin is not just for what country you come from but what level in society you are a part of. It’s a perspective that should be changed.
Important to note: Dark skin people make up a majority of the planet! Seems odd that the international standard of beauty is light skin, huh?
Filmmaker Jess dela Merced made a fantastic film on colorism, fair is beautiful…called “Bleached“.
