Do you agree that racism in modern time is really just about Light skin vs dark skin?

I notice that in modern time, a ton of racist have issues only with dark skin ethnicities. Not only are black people singled out but I see plenty of vitriol thrown towards Indians (particular those of dark complexion). With many people using mocking stereotypes of them and wishing they all be deported back to their country,

Every anti-Indian post that I see now is so over the top and performative like this. You don’t even have to be a good poster in these spheres. 21K updoots pic.twitter.com/84MVJMUPEO

Meanwhile, I see many light skin Asians be referred to as "honorary whites" by racist and I have never seen racist target light skin Hispanics with hatred. Thus, I wonder whether racism today is more generalized and really just white/light skin vs dark skin. With white/fair skin people looking down on people of darker complexion due to their features being furthest away from caucasian.

You will never see racist targeting or making fun of Latin women that are fair skin. You will see them making fun of dark skin latinas and assuming they are illegals or criminals.

Yes

No

No, if you've started a point with in modern times or a nowadays I can tell you now 99% of the time I disagree. It's not a rational way to think certainly not about human behavior.

Racism has not changed at all, Racism is fundamentally at it's core is about differences. So the less someone is, the less to be racist about. The spectrum of preference will go to the next closest option.

to be fair, dark-skinned people ain't well liked by other dark-skinned people either

Indian women seem to prefer white men over Indian men, often labelling their own men are creepy and misogynistic whether true or not

Colorism is a common enough issue that we’re aware of it, but racism is not limited to only that nor has it been diminished to only that.

Half right but plenty of racist "different treatment " toward jews: rule 1 we need to be supersensitive to everyone... except jews... rule 2 as people wrote: "we can be unfair," according to modern culture toward jews, that is not considered "racism", so you are half right, because not considered racism according to website admins and users... but is. I always say liberals are the WORST hypocrits!

It is a shame we're seeing black on Asian racist violence uptick it the US. You're correct.
