light skin people can face racism as people of color but colorism inherently is about the treating of darker skin individuals and how they have to traverse life in a far different way than people who are lighter
even light skin people who have prominently “ethnic” features are still treated differently from their dark skin counter parts.
if jay z wins bruno mars’ grammy all because he rhymed about cheating on beyoncé over fart noises i will literally put myself through law school to show up at their doorstep and represent her in that divorce and take him to the cleaners because that will be the LAST straw
straight cis people asking if your parents/family are supportive is never “are you getting the support you need and if not is there anything i can do?” its “fill me in on all the tragic painful details of your life, which i only care about for the drama of it all, or i would realize that this is probably a touchy or very painful subject for you and i wouldnt be treating it like a casual conversation topic”
