Indeed, it is a complex racialized class hierarchy with a bias towards "whiteness", which does not explicitly mean Eurocentrism Whiter skin as a signal of class value is actively promoted, with legal skin whitening cosmetics, compounds. treatments, and drugs a multi-billion USD revenue industry.

From childhood to young adulthood, Black people in my community were openly skeptical I was my father's legitimate child because of how dark my skin is.

As late as 2016, my first cousin insisted that if colorism exists in the Black culture, it doesn't exist in DC Black culture.

A level of willful ignorance born of her racial ambiguity and almost white passing privilege that is just breathtaking.
