Colorism


What I think about the videos is that because of colorism people get divided in there community. Also people get judged and questioned about what theirs race is or were they come from because of their skin color. Some people may be called black because of their skin color but are from a whole other culture. Other people see their self as mixed in many cases people have white dads/moms or black/white dads and its hard for them to define themselves because others question them if it is true based on their skin color. Kids start thinking about colorism since an early age saying they hate their skin colors because its ugly. Being a different skin color does affect your lifestyle because it can be a problem while applying to colleges or having a job or getting one. The video taught me that 1/32th of you is black. This relates to me because people identify me as Mexican because of my skin color when I am actually from Honduras a whole different culture I consider myself a mixed Honduran because of all the things that I am mixed with from my race ethics so I consider and I would identify myself a mixed Honduran Hispanic.
