Dark-Skinned Girls On Colourism | Sister

Colourism is a real and persistent problem for dark-skinned people of colour. It differs from racism, in that it's about how dark your skin is. Racism usually comes from a different ethnic group, but colourism can come even from someone from the same ethnic group as you.

Here, three dark-skinned women talk about the frequency of colourism in music lyrics and music videos, on TV, in Bollywood movies, in cosmetics, and in dating and relationships.
