I've heard this was a thing in pre-colonial India too.

And they continue today.

I used to work for a East Asian paper and I had to type want ads from orders into the computer for print out for their paper. A lot of it were for traditional arranged marriage. Almost every single of them were looking for a fair woman for their son. Or advertised their own daughter as fair. And, yes, they have been emphasized as light skinned, so no one can claim that "well, maybe they were looking for pretty, not light skinned."

The practice is known as colorism and it's been rampant in many countries long before white man showed up on the scene.

Just go read the myths associated with the Hindu goddess Parvati. There's one about her going to Brahma for a way to have lighter skin.
