i didn’t know ms marvel is brown

i’m a brown girl born and raised in a small town in ireland. i don’t give one single fuck about statistics, i’m speaking from experience when i say EVERYONE AROUND ME AT ALL TIMES WAS WHITE. ALWAYS.

and then i would look in the mirror and wonder why i didn’t look like them

i remember once at a sleepover, i couldn’t have been older than ten, i told my friend a secret. that i wished i was white. i didn’t even realise how messed up that was until YEARS later when people like jameela jamil and naomi scott and ..... that’s kind of it ..... appeared in the mainstream media (don’t get me wrong i’m sure there are more than two brown girls in the media but like.. the fact that i can only name two off the top of my head should say something)

i found myself watching old fair&lovely ads on youtube and wishing i could try it (it’s a face lightening cream popular in south asia where light skin is seen as desirable and darker skinned women are encouraged to use bleach and other harmful methods of skin lightening sometimes even as children to look more western)

i never grew up with people like me in the media, and hearing about what’s happening with the little mermaid reboot made me so happy but fuck this just hits different

when i was younger i wished that i was light skinned, blue eyed, and blonde because that was the best you could be

when i was younger (as young as nine years old) i remember my mom telling me to put on fair and lovely because it would make me lighter

when i was younger i remember being told to stay inside instead of having fun with everyone else so i wouldn’t get tan

when i was younger my relatives used to fawn over me because, to quote, “she has the loveliest pale skin”

when i was younger i remember looking at my dark skin, dark hair, and bland brown eyes and hating them

p.s. this does not, in ANY way, denounce my white friends. i love you all very much, and none of you are xenophobes or bad people. i'm sorry if i went a little overboard - i sincerely love you guys, regardless of your skin colour but purely for the amazing, big and beautiful hearts you guys have inside of you. i love you all.
