Most annoying thing is your relatives who are picky and judgmental will say " you don't look like ur grandma/mom/sister" or "why are u not like pretty like ur sister, mom etc.

Because sometimes sister is just so much prettier and will be able to marry more rich family’s son and bring more money back to mom and dad. It’s a very straightforward Asian family business model. Daughter’s beauty will define her market value.

[@Julia-lk8jn]

Yikes, that's horrible. Parents comparing their children ("why can't you be good in school like your sister?") are making those children so unhappy. And making remarks like that about ones look is even worse - and short-sighted, too. "I've got my genetics and cheek-bones and eyes and skin from my parents, go complain to them!"

A Shadist is someone who is prejudice against someone base on shade: skin tone, a form of self-hatred within Black, Asian, Indian, and Latino communities who hate the skin tone they are in let for example light brown, medium brown, dark brown skin tones.Even in White Communities white people with fair skin hate other white people with dark tan skin.

Meet them in African migrant community in Europe and then you will see what is so clearly wrong with the black American women who have made themselves undateable and unattractive. The African women with the darkest skin have no problems in attracting men of all races for dates and marriages. Their greatest secret is their feminity.

As an Indian, it's really disheartening to see the amount of fairness creams being advertised in my country. It's like the 21st century but we still promote crap like 'fair skin' or 'gora nikhar'.

This became a major concern for my relatives and they would suggest ways to lighten my skin (It was so ridiculous). Thankfully my parents and grandma always told me to be proud of my skin so I could just brush them off. But there are so many kids who hate their skin colour. I sure hope this perception changes.

As a white person my parents never really mentioned racism to me as a young child. I remember having my first best friend and I was so exited and my parents asked why she was black as if they had expected I would only have white friends. I was confused and said its because she was born that way and my parents realized how they worded the question and dropped it. She was my first crush. Eventually we drifted apart and I had two new friends. People would look at me funny because I always hung out with these two black girls. I don't know if people thought I was weird or if they thought my friends were but either way I didnt care. Sadly, I don't see them as often anymore but this is my point. I didn't hear about people thinking black people were less-than so I never treated them as such. Of course education is important and I'm glad I've learnt some (definitely not all) of the history of racism because it is important. Education is the cornerstone of change. Change is possible.

it doesn't really start at home, Juan. This a systemic cultural bias ingrained in the psyche of many to support white superiority. So even if your parents tell you that you re beautiful the way you are, the media and the world at large do not reflect that dichotomy. The myth that anything white is better than anything dark has to be dispelled. It is happening slowly as images of diverse people appear in commercials. Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder, but if someone consistently focuses your eye on one image as the standard to measure by, your perception is skewed. .

[@alexandernorrie]

ovrjoyd4u2 get a clue! Colored people are not just in the kand of the white man! LOL Go to Asia and you will see whiteness is an image unforced by the inhabitants for thousands of years with or without European colonization. Even Europeans would rate themselves based on whiteness throughout history. For the same reasons as Asians and im sure most other cultures, white skin equates to wealth, because white skin could remain indoors out of the fields. Stop blaming whites for everything! Doing so only enslaves yourself to being a perpetual victim, that will never be happy or successful.

[@ovrjoyd4u2]

You really are either obtuse or illiterate. I blame no one for anything. If you think that the promotion of white supremacy is a myth, then shame on you.

Im i the only one who thinks dark skinned people are beautiful and their skin is just amazing?

[@DorotaGabal]

Not the only one. When I was 10, I had a Nigerian best friend, while being in primary school in Central Europe. She was bullied by some of my classmates, called all sorts of things from chocolate, through potato, down to poop. I remember getting into quite a couple of skirmishes, because I thought it was hurtful and mean and got into fights on her behalf to make them stop. And all the time, secretly I really envied her, because I thought her skin color was soooooo beautiful! She was really dark, and had this ruddy undertone, and I was in love with her skin. And yes, I was wishing if only I had that.

[@nanana2330]

Zdena Gabaľová i just dont get why some people dont accept others the way they are and that irritates me sooooo much

[@jessnoyes603]

No you're not! They're all so amazing but it disgusts me how we have to build them up like this because of their skin tone. Everyone deserves confidence and to be complimented but our media today has made the world we live in one in which we have to reassure others that their skin colour is not a problem and that they're beautiful no matter what colour foundation they put on every morning or what shade of the rainbow their skin is. That is what disgusts me about the world.

[@jessnoyes603]

+Zdena Gabaľová I had a best friend who's dad was Jamaican and mother was Irish- we were planning our dream holiday and when we pretend "booked" flights she turned to me and said, " but Jess I can't go on a plane" when I asked her why she said "because no one will want to sit next to me" when I asked her again why she said "because I'm black." This is inconceivable to me, we were 11 and she had the idea in her head that she couldn't fly in a plane because her skin was a different colour to mine.

I never thought any of this. I never thought darker skin equated to ugliness or anything. I know I'm white so I should shut up, but I grew up in Philly and had primarily black, Indian and Korean friends. I never thought this stereotype. I hope this feeling goes away; lupita n'yung, idris alba, mindy kaling are all super hot and of darker skin tones. Let's make everyone feel beautiful but killing these stereotype

[@brittanyDParker85]

*feel beautiful by killing these stereotypes

[@cryptic8630]

It's a misconception they put on themselves. They all are beautiful, beauty is simply subjective. Different places have different idealistics for beauty. And factually many white people especially in America seek to tan themselves because that's what they believe ideal beauty looks like.

[@Lavicious]

☺️ your a kind person

[@Ityaboii]

I'm so glad that you never thought this way And no, you shouldn't shut up, every voice matters no matter the color. The problem is(at least where I am), is that most white people don't get it, or think that what we're saying is fake, since they're not the target audience. I did a presentation in school on the media and stereotypes on black females, and some people didn't know it was a thing.

[@Ityaboii]

It is not a misconception that "they" put on themselves. It's a misconception and misrepresentation that the media constantly portrays that subconsciously integrates into everyone's minds. And yes, they are all beautiful, yet the media tells a vastly different story.

I’m a Hispanic woman with very light skin. When people look at me they don’t know that I’m 50% Native Central American, they think I’m white. My mother always fawned over me for my looks. She often showed me baby pictures of when I had blond streaks in my hair and my eyes were blue. She always treated me as prettier than my sister who has an olive complexion, jet black hair and dark brown eyes. As I got older I began to realize how cruel this was to my sister and I. My sister is beautiful, I never understood my moms attitude.

+UK Gully tan is dark skin compared to being pale. dude I've seen these really pale girls put on some heavy tan on they look like a different race. anything that isn't pale is dark skin. and im pretty sure there has been discrimination with every type of skin tone and it doesn't have to be widely known.

Maybe not discrimination in a traditional sense, but obviously, you're not pale and haven't suffered some mean (or just naive, but hurtful) comments related to that: "Are you sick?", "You should get out in the sun more often" "Girl, just get some spray tan", "I prefer tanned skin, pale skin girls are NOT attractive", "You look like a vampire", "Yogurt-girl, haha!", "Poor you, I mean, I'm so lucky: I get out in the sun for 5 minutes and bam-I'm tanned! I don't even have to wear make-up during summer!"...It accumulates and can really hurt self-esteem, especially when you're a teenager.

Not to devalue or invalidate their experiences or anything. But as a dark skin black woman, I really hate it when people expect me to be insecure abt being dark skin. Yes I've had comments abt my dark tone but I've always known that I'm beautiful. It just irritates me when ppl expect me to have a story abt how I wanted to bleach my skin when I've never felt this way.

[@Energypoints23]

elky360 I made a comment saying feeling bad about your skin color is a self esteem issue and people are coming for me saying I do not understand history, all while missing my point which is to love the skin you are in no matter how dark or light

[@LadyCharity]

People will come for you because you are dismissing the aspect and reality of colorism. The other comment is a separate issue from what you're speaking of. Sure for some it can be a self esteem issue but it is really a self-image issue which stems from colorism...please do not negate colorism as a REAL issue.

[@Energypoints23]

anointed2wait your comment is understandable, but I did not dismiss colorism as having an impact on how those people percieve themselves, however what I was saying is that it is more personal (hence 'self' was used), as if it wasn't all person who have faced 'colorism' would feel the same way

[@Energypoints23]

Judi Lynn thanks for understanding, it's not that I'm dismissing other people who feel that way, all I'm trying to say is that not all dark skin people feel that way, what this video failed to tell us is that some dark folks exude confidence and are proud of being dark and happy with the way they are

+wonderfultink A sinful world. 'For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God' (Romans 3:23, New Testament). Racism is just another form of sin, as are murder, adultery, stealing, lying, greed, idolatry, and refusal to believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

[@jamescarter177]

+Jesus is Lord Refusal to believe in a White skinned greek mythology son of Zeus Jesus/Yesus with replaced the real Hebrew name Yeshua make the whole belief fake. Especially when the Pope also commissioned L. Divincci to paint the Pope son his also gay Lover to use as the Image. It was Blasphemy because his holy name was not Jesus nor was Yeshua gay which is also a sin. This further shows the infiltration of false prophecy Roman christian doctrine whose Popes also sanctioned slavery of the dark skinned Hebrews YAH/ God's chosen people. So Yes Jesus and his image are false and Blasphemy.

[@jesusislord4135]

+James Carter You are confused. Of course Jesus is a translation of the original Hebrew name, Yeshua. English 'John' is the same as French 'Jean' or Spanish 'Juan'. Don't get tied up in knots over translation. And I have nothing to do with Roman Catholicism. That is another discussion. Put your trust in Yeshua, the Messiah of Israel and Light to the nations.

[@jamescarter177]

+Jesus is Lord Yes you do your saying are born out of it. As written in scriptures to know him is to know his name. And you must call on his holy name. Yeshua was not Roman or greek nor gay or whites. You are feeding false prophecy. Christian like judaism and Islam are all Babylonian false prophecy as written in the torah. It is white wash to have the other peoples of the world look to Europeans Yah's chosen. Your teachings are part of the Synagogue of Satan. Many have been deceived.

[@jamescarter177]

+Jesus is Lord, You translate words not names. Where did he ask that his name be changed or translated. YAH or Yeshua. There no J in the Hebrew Language. J is the Devils left facing HOOK.

[@maybeitsash]

3:00 i know fair and lovely and omfg. i remember in pakistan it was heavily advertised to especially make ur skin lighter hence making u "fair and lovely" and in brown culture being fair is te equivalent of being really beautiful. Being called "kali" or black, is literally used as an insult to degrade women of a darker skin. The amount of idolisation some ppl have for white ppl with blonde hair and blue eyes is so damaging and toxic and just overall messed up.
