Yes, society has begun to accept the revolution to decriminalize colorism or what we usually know as racism. The practice of colorism has been ongoing for centuries, whether it is India or the USA. When comparing the two, there have been different histories about the same concept.
In the modern age, people have begun to decline colorism, and they are okay with people who have darker skin tones. I don’t know when this period began, but the idea got popularized with the concept of a ‘tall, dark, and handsome man.’ However, as pleasing as the reel life is, the reality might not be the same. It took a little while for the community to accept that being dark does not mean you are dirty or filthy. Also, it is geographical for one to have darker skin tones. Like in India, most of the population is in brown, or let’s say they carry different shades of brown. The thing is, the lower you go from the equator, the darker you get. There is nothing spiritually wrong with having a dark skin tone.
With the change in time, people have begun embracing darker skin tones. Lately, you must have noticed how brands have openly accepted all color skin tones. For example, earlier, Lakme had the foundation of a few fair skin tones, but now, it offers skin tones for sixteen shades which may not be enough, but it is growing for the better. There is another, Glow and Lovely. It is still contradictory somehow, but the brand recently changed its headline from Fair and Lovely to Glow and Lovely.
Hence, we can say that the first step has been taken, and the complete acceptance of being colored is a long way to go. But meanwhile, we can embrace the journey and keep spreading the right education about accepting all kinds of skin tones.
