this is so petty but i really wish white people would stop using “the color of someone’s skin” as a stand-in term for “race.” they are not the same thing. this is not about the color of my skin, i am asian and paler than you yet you still hate me

it’s the same as when they’re like “i don’t care if you’re black, white, brown, green, purple…” as though racism is just about someone’s appearance and not deeply entrenched scientific, medical, and social categories for the express purpose of oppression and violence

while this is good for multiracial melting pots like america, colorism is indeed a thing in places like asia where, despite being the same race, dark skinned people are still discriminated against. racism is not necessarily colorism, but i do feel we shouldn’t forget about the latter!
