Colorism and double standards.

[KingSomali999]

Labeling someone as a colorist is stupid tbh. if you don’t find someone attractive because of their skin color might sound harsh but you can’t help what u are attracted to. I noticed that it’s mostly women who label people as colorist, usually AA/A women in general.
Why is it accepted to dismiss a men simply due to his height? Same people will burn ur house down soon as you state you don’t find a certain color attractive

it's fine to have preference for lighterskin but don't bash someone's skin tone. That is colourist. Bashing darker skin is colourist

Because nobody is born with the idea that one skin color is more attractive than the other, it’s taught.

Women prefer taller/stronger men because it’s in their psychology, they were born that way.

^ Exactly my point

 

[pirater]

also it's what your exposed to. I wasn't exposed to lighter skin even though I was surrounded by white people. Growing up most of my friends were somali, African and Polynesian so I never found white or lighter skin people attractive. If you are exposed to lighter skin and told its more attractive then you end up preffering lighterskin.

Men of most ethnicities prefer lighter skin, it's in our psychology

And women of all ethnicities prefer lighter skin too

Why do I almost never hear the same complaints from dark skin men then? They don't cry about "colourism"

brother. Convert back to the old ways. Darker skin is superior

if that’s the case than how come some people don’t have any color preference and other do?

If you're bashing darker skinned women, you're a colorist. What makes colorism crazy is that you have a whole continent of women deemed unattractive compared to others because of their darker skin.

Dark skin is a marker of African ancestry for the most. Yes, I know you have dark Indians and Sri-Lankans ect, but darkness is associated with SSA, that is why they are referred to as 'black'.

Is height associated with any group? Btw, I don't think bashing short men is acceptable. How about we stop bashing people that don't fit our standards?

I don't care what anyone says. If you're SSA and you have issues with darker skin, you're a self hater. People call us 'black' because of our dark skin. As Somalis our features are pretty slender and Caucasian like. What makes others say we are 'black' is our skin. So ask yourself, what makes you dislike a skin that is common amongst your people?

Nah men dnt care for skin tone as long as shes attractive unless he has deep rooted issues with colorism like black men in general

like i said, we don’t decide what we find attractive or not. For some people, even something slight as hair color can make them attracted to you or not. East asians with their eyes for example, yet if u say you don’t like how their eyes look, you might get a couple rude comments ur way but it’s nothing compared to saying shiit like “i don’t like darkskins”.

Height is actually associated to groups, for example you can’t tell me that south sudanese aren’t taller than Japanese people. you might have a couple japanese taller than some south sudanese but it’s not common, same way we have dar skin somalis and lighter ones, although it’s not rare.

Be honest with yourself. If a Korean man told you he hated Asian eyes on women, despite having it himself and that being a dominant feature amongst his people, deem down you'll think he is strange or a downright nacaas. That is how a lot of madow men sound like.

Its like disliking slender features despite the majority of Somalis having it. Most Somalis have darker skin. Even the so called light ones are seen as dark compared to other ethnic groups. We are called 'black' simply due to our skin pigment.

we get you have a preference and that ain't colourist. But bashing darker skin is colourism. You can have your preference but it is colourist to bash darkerksin

It will only sounds strange if a korean MEN said it, if the women say it, people will cover it up as preference which brings me to my second point. Yes we can all agree on bashing people for their features is not right and in a perfect world that would exist. Sadly we live on earth and this is how it is. My second point was that this whole “colorism” is only an issue because it effects women more than men.for example, a women can say they want a 6+ guy with certain hair,eye and skin color yet nobody bats a eye. a men says they want a women who is short,lightskin and not fat than all hell breaks loose. If that’s not double standard than idk what is

 

[KingSomali999]

we get you have a preference and that ain't colourist. But bashing darker skin is colourism. You can have your preference but it is colourist to bash darkerksin

So why is that an issue but you see women publicly shaming short men yet that’s fun and giggles? you can agree it’s not right but that’s not what i’m tryna discuss.

 

[adventurequestworlds1.0.2]

How about some womans and mans bashing ppl cuz their private parts is small what is tht called hate or racist or

Just say you dislike women and go.

Two wrongs doesn't make a right. I would find it dumb if Korean girls said the exact same thing.

Is height an ethnic feature? Height is a body type. Also, I don't think it is acceptable to laugh about features people can't change.

Instead of your thread being about why its wrong to bash people, you want to justify one simply because rude obnoxious women engage in it. Surely the best approach would be for everyone not to do it.

Also, you can't compare skin colour with height. A lot of people's skin is determined by their ethnic group and race. Most people prefer their own. Simple.

no one cares if you have a preference for lightskin women. Go have a preference for lighter skin. Don't go around saying that "darker skin is ugly" "darker skin is disgusting" don't say that. That's all everyone's telling you. Don't bash darker skin.
