Colorism seems to be common in many societies. It is the belief that lighter skin is somehow more attractive, beautiful, or superior.
In many places, people try to prevent getting a tan while in others, people will spend money to get one.
I personally think that in many societies, it is just the remnant of an outdated concept that comes from colonialism and old ideas or beliefs. Of course, beauty is subjective and what is beautiful to one person might not be the case for another person. People should be comfortable in their own skin, and, in my eyes, nothing can make a person more attractive than their personality and kindness. That is just my humble opinion, and you may disagree with me.
I would love to hear what you think.
[POLL] Does colorism exist where you're from or at?
