Difficult-ish

colorism in the south asian community


Listen Later

this long overdue and much needed episode on the topic of colorism is finally here! first off, we talk about the roots of anti blackness and where colorism comes from during colonial times and why lighter skin is favored in so many different cultures. after, we talk about our own experiences with colorism, from male and female standpoints, and how it affected our self esteems. whether it be casually growing up with bleaching creams like fair and lovely or getting told that you shouldn't go out in the sun because you'll get dark, we're sure you can, unfortunately, relate to some part of the episode. we hope you like this one!
