Great article. Thank you for highlighting the fact that racism is restricted to white folk. We are all guilty of this idiocy
Here in India "fairness" is higly prized, particularly in women. There are even products on the market that supposedly lighten your skin in X days!
I wonder if an earlier poster was right dark = night, scary, light = day, less frightening? Alternatively, at least in India, this may date back to the Arayan reaction to the local dark-skinned Dravid population
Is there some kind of human need to stratify society? I have a older friend, a Brit born in India. Apparently in their all white society, people who arrived from Britain looked down on their fellow Brits who had been born in India
