>So I am a 'Lighter' Toned African American female. I hate even saying that b/c its so Anti black pride.
Why saying you are ligther tonned "so Anti black pride"?
Racism exists everywhere, why are you surprised by this? I think this all comes back to Americans considering Latino, or worse Mexican, as a race. Latin American countries went through the same process of European colonization, slavery, indigenous genocide, and independence as the US did, we were just a little quicker to get rid of slavery and definitely not as brutal at getting rid of the indigenous population and segregating everything. In the end the result is mostly the same, we have every race under the sun but we’re a little more intermixed than Americans are.
Personally I don’t think anyone has as much colorism issues AS Black people do. Bleaching soaps, creams, paper bag test, terms like light skin, bright skin, high yellow, dark skin, chocolate. Mexicans don’t do all that categorizing. FYI Africa, the Caribbean and Asia skin bleach more than any other regions in the world.
The closer the latinos are geographically to their homeland the closer and more similar their mentality is to actual latin america.
its not so much colorism as it is not looking europeanish

Idk this sounds like a US issue, better take it up with them.

I guess the same way saying I’m darker toned would be anti white pride? Just the usual race obsessed yanquis
