Until recently I was blind to privilege as a South Asian with lighter skin tone. If I get called fair and pretty I explain legacy behind #colorism Usually they are other Indian women with darker skin tone. I tell them they are beautiful. they should be proud in their own skin
Privileged can be blind to injustice and think they are good guys. But we need to do more! We need to actively fight. I urge men to be allies in fight against sexism. I urge all non-black people to be allies in fight against anti-black racism #BlackLivesMatter
As a South Asian, I appreciate you acknowledging colorism and anti-black mindset. Yes; Colorism is a dirty legacy in India. An even dirtier legacy that almost all of the Upper Castes and privilege is caste privilege that you and other upper castes have had growing up in India.
I hope you acknowledge the Casteism and Upper Caste privilege and injustice, oppression, and discrimination of lower castes in India as much as anti-black and colorist mindset. Yes; #BlackLivesMatters. If Indian Upper Castes do not acknowledge #DalitLivesMatter that is hypocrisy.
