Talking about the current society which is a modern society or era. We have become an illusion of our real personality to make it look real on social media or in front of the people. I think unlearning colorism in real will take a decade to actually follow it. Specifically in Asian countries, we are talking about the skin colors that it’s not a feature to judge people as beautiful but lacking to follow in real situations. We are born with an attitude of Fair skin is beautiful and others are not and they inferior bunch of people. We have been provided the surrounding normalcy to call out people and discriminate them according to their skin tone or color. A lot of agenda, social movement and trends on social media has finally led a way to highlight the issue of colorism, but we are only taking it digitally serious and in reality it is still a taboo to be black or brown.
I will share a small incident from my internship at hospital, a highly educated technician was looking for a girl to marry. He was dark in complexion. He was connected with the girl through Facebook, and they did get along well. Then a woman asked him to meet her in person. He was not ready to meet her because of the skin tone he had. He was sure that the girl will reject him immediately due to the color. This only tells us about the reality of our society upon colorism because if we have accepted in reality then it was not an issue for a man to marry a girl whom he had liked but failed to get married due to his color.
We are a bunch of educated people, and we need to stand out beyond the color race to grow in a society.
