Is it colorism if so how can I stop it?

[Anonymous]

Ever since I was a kid, my first crush was very light-skinned and pale. Most of the guys I was attracted to were also light-skinned. I wasn’t too fond of darker skin—it never really appealed to me. I also noticed that darker-skinned people were often more unfriendly or rude toward me, and some would make fun of my skin tone. A few even said I didn’t have any color because of how light I am. This makes me wonder—does that mean I’m colorist? The way I feel has nothing to do with the media or current beauty standards.

I would prefer a Corvette. To be Cherry Yes. Red or Canary Yellow. It's all about esthetics, and it is not any kind of negative racial discrimination. If you like brown skin and black eyes, stick with it.

"Colorism" is nonsense. We are attracted to who we are attracted to, and there's nothing wrong with that. Stop feeling guilty about politically correct "isms" and date who you're attracted to.

It’s understandable to question your preferences and experiences. Acknowledging them is a great first step. Colorism often stems from societal influences, even subconsciously. Reflect on whether your preferences are based on genuine attraction or preconceived notions. Diversifying your social circle and exposing yourself to varied perspectives can help. Challenge stereotypes when you notice them in yourself or others. Being open to self-reflection and learning allows growth and understanding, creating healthier relationships with yourself and others. 🌟

I'm a white woman with extremely long natural whitish blonde hair, extremely fair skin, and very light very bright blue eyes. I'm very proud of being white and all my white features. I'm married to a very dark pure black African man and have biracial children. I'be been told by many men of all races that I'm the most beautiful woman they've ever seen.

I have faced lots of jealousy from non-white women, especially black women. A lot of non-white women, especially black women are often very rude and mean to me for no reason, other than I'm blonde, blue eyed, and beautiful, and married to a black man. They're jealous of white women, especially blonde blue eyed fair skinned white women. They're especially jealous of those of us that are in relationships with or married to black men.

Men aren't as mean or rude. In fact non-whites men are usually very friendly if you're not married or they don't know you're married. Or maybe if you're a prostitute or promiscuous which I am not.

Many black women and men often think any white woman that date or are married to black men must be prostitutes or have multiple sex partners, swear a lot, must be drug addicts and alcoholics, and ashamed of being white.

I'm the furthest thing from any of that. I never had sex until I was married and ready to have children. I would never have sex with anyone other than my husband, and have always been very against prostitution, promiscuity, adultery, and porn. I never swear either and have never liked swearing. I've never drank, smoked or done drugs. I'm very proud of being white and love being white.

Even a lot of non-white men are not as friendly, or even rude, when they know I'm married, not a prostitute, and would never have sex with anyone other than my husband, and that I don't do drugs or alcohol, and that I'm proud of being white and don't let them guilt trip me into being ashamed of my whiteness.

Don't let anyone make you feel bad or ashamed of being white, or make you think that you're racist if you're proud of being white. They're just jealous of whites. There's nothing wrong with being fair skinned and white. There's most certainly nothin wrong or racist about being proud of being white and fair skinned either. We don't call them racist if they say they're proud of their race, and nobody ever says they're wrong if they are. Why should we be expected to be ashamed of being white.

That's so sad you married a black man and have black children. You sound so smart and hot and absolutely perfect except for being married to a black man. You'd be the perfect white woman if only you weren't married to a black man and didn't have black kids. How on earth did you end up falling for a black man? I would have never thought a white woman like you would be married to a black man. So sad.

Light skin is beautiful. The lighter the better. That's good you only like white guys. If it isn't white it's not right.

Yes it's so stupid we have to invent a whole new -ism word for it.

[Asker]

Colorism is a real term tho I didn’t invent the word

[Anonymous]

Nahhh. people tend to like those who are of a similar colour to them

[Asker]

Thanks

[itsgreattobewhite]

Yeah. Most at least. I never found black or brown women attractive at all.

@eninytxis that’s the truth.

@eninytxis rather die than dilute my race

[Asker]

He got issues needs to realize not everyone going to have his mindset

[Opinion Owner]

Nahh. Trust me. Hang out with those guys who are of the same light skin race as you. The dark ones only want you for your skin tone which is fuelled by their own self hate. U can never read their minds

Whether you call it colorism, Hueism, Tintism, or skinism, you have every right to have a preference for any skin color that you want.

Make everyone color blind
