That was a really beautiful read and I must confess that you write beautifully too.
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
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)
How can colorism be eradicated?? It is, already (gradually though). People and industries are starting to embrace the dark skin tones because honestly, they are the real deal now! Taking over the movie, modelling and many other industries is dark skinned people. I really hope it will eventually be balanced and we won’t have to deal with this issue again from the other party.
And when talking about colorism, it is important to see things from both point of views. Exclude those who try to be what they are not just because they want to feel more confident and accepted(Again, we’ll blame that on the society).
You’d be very surprised to know that some fair people might have felt so insecure about their skin in this part of the world, just because they feel too different from others. Let’s just agree that the society has contributed in helping them to boost their confidence more, because they are the most adored ones.
The most important solution is for people to get more comfortable in their own skin. I’m glad people are talking more about all of this lately.
About that google search example ehn, it can be very frustrating.
Dear google, you have my location and I didn’t turn on a VPN, why exactly am I getting these results?
Bruh😂, it’s something else.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
