Coming from a colonized state, I occasionally wonder, if we were colonized by X colored colonizers maybe we would be fantisizing for that color. Even to think this way is the indication of racism, with respect to color and every other thing. But, in my country, beauty products - especially skin whitening creams - are the real profit breaker. From early morning talk shows to late night ads, everything revolves around skin whitening. And the fun part is a "good character" is the last thing which matters. Still, all these folks have the guts to talk about religion which talks about everyone being equal.
Moreover, all these labels come from real experiences people have faced. Like once a label is attached, the person, as an individual, loses its value. And then even “fighting labels” can become another label in disguise.
However, at the same time, I am confused what if we stripped away all labels, would we become more just or just more confused? If we eradicate this thing, almost every problem will be vanished, because there will be no one to judge?
