Is it really true if a black person is lighter they are seen more attractive to other races?

Probably... You know why? Because Black people are very racist even within their own race they sort each other by shade of blackness. They pick on light skinned Blacks and say they aren't Black enough or whatever, which causes light skinned Black people to be outcasts from ghetto Black culture a lot of times, meaning that they have to find friends in other places. As a result they are more likely to be influenced by White culture and assimilate into the mainstream more. Thus they are more likely to be more relatable to other races who are also on board for mainstream White culture and opposed to ghetto Black culture which is a counterculture to normal life.

This sort of shit is not attractive to normal people of every other race.

But people from other races that tend to grow up around a lot of White people and who are assimilated into the culture will be much or relatable to just about everyone in the west. They won't be acting crazy, nor will they be acting fake. Being authentic is good for attracting people and forming relationships.

You know this colorism stuff happens with other races. It’s not just a black thing.

The closet thing to “colorism” among Whites is pale girls not being able to tan as easily as the other girls when they go to the beach, but nobody really cares. You’re not going to be discriminated against or outcast because you are pale in the White community… You just have to use more sunscreen. Some people are more attracted to pale Whites or tan Whites it’s all preference, but at the end of the day it’s not like you’re going to be seen as not White. No normal people in the White community care at all. You’d have to have some extremist White supremacist neo-Nazi only German blood type of crazy to see anything remotely resembling what is normal in the Black community and I’ve never even met a single one of those people in real life over all of my years on Earth. So nope, not really “colorism” among Whites isn’t really a thing and I’ve live in cities of 90%+ White people most of my life. You’ll find talk like that in deep pockets of the internet where they may not consider White people from one country or another not White enough, but not in every day White life. It just isn’t a thing. Other than that, maybe girls that dye their hair blonde because they think blondes get more attention, even though that isn’t true. It’s probably just a marketing gimmick spread by hair dye companies to push more product.

As far as Asians, sure I know that skin whitening is common enough in some East Asian cultures. That said, they don’t seem to talk openly about it at least in the company of Whites. Asians of all shades tend to befriend each other. They click together often based on cultural similarity. You often have Asian cultural clubs where groups of different Asians come together since the population of Asians in the USA is such a small minority. In corporate America you often see groups of Asian people that pool together in corporate politics bringing each other along up the corporate ladder. So while there seems to be something there revolving around “colorism” it is different than how Black people behave.

In contrast Blacks really rag on each other very vocally over shade of skin. They outcast certain people because they aren’t Black enough or they are too Black. They joke about it constantly. You see it all the time. It’s a big element of Black culture. Growing up it was very noticeable and alien to my culture. I remember Black people bagging on each other over it all the time. I even remember a skinny light skinned Black girl that use to sit alone in the staircase at lunch all through high school because the Black kids didn’t like her. She was too White. She talked normal like White people. She got good grades in school. She listened to punk rock and grunge music and shit like that. She wasn’t a Black girl that was trying to be White, she was just a girl that grew up in a mostly White city, so culturally she assimilated to the environment she grew up in. She was a nice girl, funny, and real down to Earth, but was a complete loner because the Black people rejected her. I had a few classes with her and use to talk to her pretty regularly. She was relatable and authentic. She would fit in among other races, but she seemed to be insecure due to all the crap the other Blacks gave her. So I see how that impacted her and it makes sense to me. I’ve also seen more stories like that over the years. You even have YouTube personalities like the Hodge Twins that talk about how the Black community hates them and calls them Whites supremacists or whatever. So, yeah I can see how light skinned blacks might become outcasts from their own culture, which could influence how they grow up and integrate into mainstream culture which would culturally make them more attractive to other races.

I'll give you an example of Asian "colorism". Someone on this site asked if Indian women are more attractive. I said no and gave a blunt response saying something along the lines that they are generally ugly because their eye balls look like they are going to pop out of their eye sockets, they have weird facial bone structure, unbearable accents, etc. I said that the girl that was posted in a picture was lighter skinned than most Indians whom are darker. Some Indian user acted all offended by that and said Indians aren't dark like he was defending his culture. I then posted a random picture of a street in India and said pick out the light skinned Indians which there was probably none out of like a 1000 random people, and he said that I purposed picked working class poor people. It didn't even register with me in that moment that he was being "colorist", but now that I am having this conversation it's ringing a bell. He judged them as being poor working class people because they were "outside" on the street in the "sun" which makes their skin darker... In my mind they were just people traveling the streets in India.

I guess in India the lighter skinned Indians are like vampires and don't go outside. Weird shit.

[Asker]

Yes.
