The colorism implied in this meme is problematic at best. You rock always my dear!

It wasn’t the skin colour! It was a diet induced breakdown reference from The Office.

-
Oh I was just making a joke. No issue from me!

-
It's like these people don't know you were on The Office and you're a extremely successful comedian.
-
that wasn't the point nnn

Intent vs impact hunty.
#getintoit recognize colorism when you see it. Stop defending anti blackness/colorism -

Why are you a different race in the second photo?
-
Red carpet lighting. On the red carpet the have very bright lights.
-
Thank you like why is everyone questioning that this when one is clearly red carpet glam and the other is she's meant to look tired haha

Thk U! frm a person tht will
someone over colorism, sexism, homophobia, & racism I’m glad I’m not the only 1 tht gets this. Lighting plays a big part for ppl wit melanin. Our skin catches & reflects so many different hues! Hell sum days I’m black some days I’m dark white! 
-
Right ! My fiance is Filipino and in the summer he gets even darker than usual. Who's to say what her current skin color even looks like without makeup on the reg. Her!

Perfect example of Hollywood white washing. They somehow managed to clone Mindy and replace her with a lighter color version! When will it end ;)

Are you okay?

i get that kelly is supposed to look a mess in that episode but this feels like colorism tbh??
-
Honestly probably just different lighting and makeup as Kelly is supposed to be dark eyed from being worn out on the diet and also the comparison photo is a red carpet photo where there's flashing lights and I'm sure highlighter on her face and lots of makeup because red carpet.
-
yeah im saying it looks like colorism bc there are plenty of pictures of ms. kaling looking awesome where she's not being whitewashed with photo editing and flash photography
-
Yeah you're probably right but also maybe taking it a step too far? Mindy wasn't bothered and it's just pictures. Don't think the girl was trying to choose that on purpose
-
covert/unintentional colorism is still a problem yo, awareness is the first step to making a change.... im not taking anything too far i'm calmly pointing out something that seems like an unhealthy standard to ignore
-
You're right it is an unhealthy standard to ignore. I'm not trying to invalidate that. Just pointing out that it's not the case in this situation. Are you familiar with The Office at all??
-
ive seen the show-- i get that the lighting is different, etc; my issue doesnt lie with OP so much as it does with whoever edited the pic of her on the red carpet. im not tryna make a fuss im barely following this thread at this point
-
It’s Bc in that scene she was super depressed and didn’t eat Bc she didn’t like herself. It’s just showing that if you didn’t like when I was down kinda thing.
