“Colorism isn’t real.”

[pilambdaod]

Colorism? Wow because the term “racism” is so blase.

[xekstrin]

pilambdaod Colorism specifically refers to people of their own race valuing lighter skin over darker skin. For example in latina culture, valuing “good” straight hair over “pelo malo” or bad, curly hair.

Racism would imply we’re talking about at least two different races here; colorism specifically is about racist ideals within one race, people of one race policing others appearance within their own race. 

(since this is an indian book, presumably made by indian people for indian children to read, depicting a light skinned indian woman as more beautiful than a dark skinned one, it’s colorism.)

[pilambdaod]

One of those is clearly Caucasian the other Indian.

Creating random new “isms” only makes legitimate grievances seem petty and stupid.

[belligerentbagel]

“One of those is clearly Caucasian”

Aishwarya Rai, Kareena Kapoor, Kangana Ranaut 

Karisma Kapoor, Shruti Haasan, Zarine Khan

All actresses/models born in India to parents who were also born in India (or Pakistan), in a narrow view of “race.” 

If a Papua New Guinean hooks up with a Swedish person all you get is a human.  There’s no new thing you’re going to get. You just get a human. 

- Bill Nye: Race is a Human Construct (and don’t look at the comments; it’s the usual cesspool of bigots) 

Ideas on “race” have been in slow development over the years, but colourism is a real thing (often with roots in imperialism, especially as Western ideas of beauty began to intrude upon countries). 

The 100 Years of Beauty: Philippines has a jarring jump where April Villanueva (who has light/medium-toned skin) gets her skin darkened for the 1910s-20s aesthetic, then becomes powder-white when US/European colonial interests make a stronger influence on Philippine society in the 1930s (more in the research video). 

Two more examples of skin tone variation between famous women in countries where colourism has become prevalent in celebrity culture (ie, it was a lot harder finding photos of a dark-skinned Korean actress than a light-skinned one): 

Koreans: Song Hye-kyo and Lee Hyori 

Filipinos: Valerie Garica and Nicole Scherzinger (active in the US; Filipino father, Hawaiian/Samoan-Russian mother) 

Variation in skin colour across a “race” is as real as variation in eye colour (”oh, you have brown eyes? I guess you’re not a real Caucasian”). 

Colourism also pervades a lot of modern beauty marketing. 

What’s underneath your dark skin? A prettier, lighter version of yourself! Everyone should strive to be more fair and lovely because only then you’ll be happy with your flesh prison!! 

tl;dr colourism exists and isn’t some bogeyman made up by “”es jay double-ews,”” and if you’re the person bemoaning how it “delegitimizes racism” then it’s likely you actually don’t care about racism at all and are just trying to devalue the arguments with the classic “but so-and-so people have it worse! how could you be so self-centered and selfish??” 

[ghostmistake]

Also “colorism” was coined by Alice Walker in 1982. This is not some new internet fad.

ok so like let’s talk about how zion would react to your child’s first steps

Omg the first steps stop! 🥺

Zion would freak out probably more than you would expect him too. He’d be watching tv or just relaxing in the living room with his baby girl as she plays with her toys on the floor. She started to stand up which she’d been doing a lot of lately, but this time, she would actually start taking tiny steps.

“WHAT? BABY GET IN HERE!!! SHE’S WALKING! SHE’S REALLY WALKING I SWEAR” he would scream out causing you to run downstairs in hopes of not missing the big moment. You’d get down just in time to see her starting to take little wobbly steps towards him, reaching out for his hands. “Come on honey, walk to daddy! You can do it!” he’d say with his arms wide open, ready to catch her on the other side. You’d quickly pull out your phone and start recording to capture the moment to share with all your friends and family.

Once she finally fell into Zion’s arms, he’d start swinging her around, smothering her with kisses and love. “You did it baby! You’re walking! You’re such a big girl now!” he’d say with so much excitement as she laughed in his arms. “Now daddy’s gonna teach you how to play sports, how to dance, how to do backflips...” Zion would begin to ramble on with joy.

“Okay you two, slow down and take it one step at a time... literally” you’d say grabbing her and giving her plenty of kisses too. Zion’s face said it all. He couldn’t be more proud of his little girl and couldn’t wait to experience more moments like this one. It was everything he never knew he needed and more.
