Colorism

The title of this video is What Dark-Skinned People Will Never Tell You, but that’s kind of a misnomer, because they tell us. The people featured are all strikingly attractive, but have been made to feel lesser because of past evils that shaped our culture.  It speaks to how pervasive prejudice is when people are singled out even within their own ethnicity for being any different from those around them. Put everyone together and humans have a tendency to rank everyone by shade, and that’s both infuriating and sad. (via Boing Boing)
