Is my boyfriend a colorist (which means he discriminates against dark skin tones?

[Anonymous]

We've been together for 2 years, and I recently snooped on his old Facebook page to see what his exes looked like. First off he's medium brown and im like a shade darker than him. I noticed all of his ex girlfriends were either high yellow light skin black girls, caramel, or medium brown like him, no darker, but they were all black. He also makes rude comments and jokes about dark skin people especially dark skin girls and I believe he's making an exception for me because of my "good hair" as he likes to call it. He always tells me I look indian as well and he even asked what I'm mixed with? Does he sound colorist to you? His mom is really light skinned, I don't know if that could play a part in him favoring lighter women

I think everyone on the planet is. Rather, everyone on the planet is and it's socially acceptable, unless you're white. Then it's an outrage

what a bullshit word xD call it "racist", cause that's what it is. anyway having your personal preference is normal and allowed.

Like I said "colorist" because their both black but different skin tones. Now if he was discriminatory towards you that would be "racist"

i think in this case, it's just preference. i mean everyone chooses who they wanna be with.

Colorist is a made up work that's in no dictionary of any kind.
At any rate, your boyfriend sounds like an asshole from what you told here.
