Global Colorism
I also enjoyed the perspective given about how women of other cultures are made to believe that being light is right. From Tatyana Ali sharing the Caribbean perspective (“We do colorism so well.”) to Indians believing that lighter skin equates to a higher class and literal caste, and Japanese women using powders and lighteners to look like the beauty standard in America. Colorism is ugly, and it’s everywhere.
