I mean it depends on which part of the world you are from. Colourism was, and is, a very real issue in South Africa. Back during apartheid there was stuff like the paper bag test and pencil hair test.
And other kinds of colourism, outside of the past style racism, are still around, lightskined black people or "yellowbones" are considered more attractive by some, and there are even creams to lighten your skin that get sold widely.
im whiter than anyone ive ever seen, tbh its a genuine medical issue because the sun is my greatest enemy, it seems czechs arent white tho :thonk:
You already know this but I'm going to say it just to emphasize, whiteness is never and has never actually been about skin color.
when im not anglo boomer enough :bawllin-sad:

Yeah true, my bad.
No problem man. Everywhere in the world is different, and has a different history. We get nowhere if we can't discuss it.
