Condiv posted:i had no idea that there was this kind of.... gradient. i didn't realize you would be treated worse the blacker your skin got, even by your own race In Brasil people often categorize themselves by where they fall on the spectrum of white (light skinned) to black (dark skinned). It's literally part of the government census in some cases. Colorism is noxious and super pervasive across the African diaspora (as well as in certain Asian, Indigenous, etc cultures) and although I've never really been subject to intra-racial abuse or ostracizing due to color (in the spectrum of dark-skinned to light-skinned, I'm pretty much in the middle), I'm glad to see it getting more attention.
