i have seen tweets again about colorism... i myself have been colorist before. as you can see, here in asia, you're treated with more respect when your skin is whiter. you're seen as beautiful when you're fair. you'll be told that you look clean if you're fair and etc.

this is one of the problematic ideas that colonizers brought to asia. due to this, a lot of asian, including myself have had this internalized colorist feeling for so long and even if a lot of us are trying to teach ourselves that it's wrong, it's difficult to let it go.

should i/we be cancelled for that? i don't know really. but when you're raised with an idea such as this & you've lived your life in a society built on this idea, it's really hard to reset your mind. now, imagine being a korean, an east asian, whose society is built on colorism?

that's why you cannot FULLY hate on idols who make remarks such as that. i'm not saying that your feelings are invalid, but please just think about it.

btw, if i've said anything offensive/wrong in this thread, you can tell me :)
