I was born as a white woman in a country where women are treated as people. That's a massive jackpot right there.

I look at my skin and it's so fucking weird that a genetic mutation that lead to pale skin thousands of years ago somehow translates to being "better". I mean, I get it, racism is the result of oppressive politics and power struggle, but we the people are just so fucking strange about the stuff we decide to be snooty about.

It's not strange. Colorism is common to many cultures predating contact with the people who we currently consider "white".

To me it is. I wonder where colorism stems from?

Economic class. Poor people were peasants working in fields aka darker skinned. Rich people stayed indoors and we're paler. Even after how labor changed, the stereotyped stayed. This is true of most countries.

Were. Not we're. My phone thinks I'm rich

Race is proooooobably mostly a visual symbol for ethno-social-political-class divisions

SA

of course, the visibility of that marker is itself probably a handle to perpetuate, entrench, and deepen those same divisions, so it does go both ways - this is most obviously the case in the context of the european imperial project
