That “anti-white” sentiment people keep talking about is just the erosion of what I call the “privilege of individuality.” White people aren’t accustomed to being lumped together and being defined by the actions of others. Welcome to the club.

“You didn’t make good choices, you had good choices.” (The @kerrywashington character in @LittleFiresHulu) How many of us had good choices and what did that mean for the trajectory of our lives?
I remember being told to stay out of the sun to avoid getting darker, or being told I've gotten too dark. We are taught at a young age to hate our skin and then spend decades unlearning it.

racism and discrimination do not just happen between communities, they also happen within communities. Shadeism is prejudice based on skintone, with preference for lighter-skinned people. The lighter skin preference is seen in many countries across Africa, Asia and South America
