I'm latino and I still do not understand how the fuck you man manage to live always looking at whiteness. Such an hysteria with the skin color.
Latinos also act prejudiced to those darker than them
Yep, Jamaican here. Everyone is black, but there's a huge problem with "bleaching" where people are whitening their skin color, as they perceive it to be of higher status.
I think skin bleaching might be a rampant issue. iirc Africans and Asians also do it. Everyone seems to want lighter skin. Wonder if it's due to Western influence.
At least some of it comes from outdoor workers being darker from sun exposure and then cultures associate "dark = laborer."
I still think it's funny that tanning salons are so popular in the US, to look like you have free time to lounge in the sun.
Isn't tanning a form of "skin darkening"
Well I should have specified I'm not from US too. I realize there's racism eveywhere but classism is worse here in southamerica I believe. We aren't eveyday doing that colorism thing for sure.
I can confirm, I'm also Latino and received various compliments on my skin color. And my friend would refuse to go to the mall in the affluent part of town complaining that she felt discriminated against because of her darker complexion even though she's beautiful. It trips me out because people here swear up and down that racism doesn't exist saying there's only classism.
Edit to clarify that she felt discriminated against because of her skin color.
Well obviously you can't always look at the black ones, they disappear in the shadows. /joke
