Dying!!!!

Colorism - a problem that continues to exists within Black/Caribbean & also Latino communities. Colorism is the preferential treatment of those who are lighter skinned than those who are darker within a group of people. @Hip_Latina “Latinos are very color conscious & use a color classification system which includes categories such as blanco, negro, trigueno, Indio, Jabao, Moreno, Mulatta, etc,” she says. Similar to light skin, red bone, caramel, black blue, yellow, etc. The concept of what category you fall under depends on the percentage of black blood an individual has. “The Latin American and Spanish Caribbean racial classification system is similar to the old racial classification system used by blacks in the U.S. and the West Indies,” - Professor Iris Lopez. Race is a social construct invented by Europeans intended to divide people and holds no scientific merit. Through the illusion of race, Europeans were able to manipulate blacks and other natives into believing that whites were superior in order to justify their conquests. And as one would imagine, if you are of a darker complexion and you grow up being told that being lighter skin is better, you may start to develop some resentment. For some this comes in the form of denial, rejecting their roots, or some may start identifying as white (even when its clear they aren’t). —————————- Grab your “LATINA HAS NO SKIN TONE” sweater!
