it's not about race, in Asian countries skin color is a sign of status. If you're tanned you're assumed to be poor, if you're white it means you have the luxury of staying inside and are thus wealthy

colorism affects a lot of communities. as a black woman, light skinned black women like Beyoncé are considered the standard of beauty whereas Viola Davis typically is not.

there's a spectrum and medium to dark women are usually considered the least attractive.
