The Colorism Problem in Bollywood

The implication that white is the most attractive exhibits white supremacy, where white is seen as the most superior. It creates a system of white supremacy in which white skin is valued above all the rest, invalidating the beauty and even humanity of those who are darker skinned through constantly ignoring their existence or misrepresenting them. Through colonization and slavery, white people were able to hold their status of superiority and power over people of color. The blatant unwillingness to have dark skin is a manifestation of the internalized racism carried within South Asian cultures, stemming from a past brimming with white supremacy.

Found a great article that discusses colorism in Bollywood.

Warlock, remembering he has four(4) jars of live bees in his bag: Oh no.

You say “All women are beautiful” but what you probably mean is “All women have value.”

And the reason you’re mixing up those two words is because you’ve been raised to believe that only beauty can confer value on women.

This also explains why so many people jump to “ugly” as an insult when faced with a woman they don’t agree with or don’t like.

True story; this officer (John Pike) got a settlement of $38,000 because he said he got depressed after pepper spraying these kids. Oh, the depression wasn’t for feeling remorseful for pepper spraying a bunch of college kids peacefully protesting. He got depressed because he said since the media kept playing the video of him pepper spraying peaceful kids without cause, he got threats and didn’t feel safe. He didn’t feel safe. I’m not making that up. This motherfucker collected nearly 40 grand on worker’s comp after assaulting a bunch of college kids.

honestly the harry potter fandom is so wild like we’ve all collectively refused to accept cursed child as canon but some college kids tell us hufflepuffs are particularly good finders and we don’t even question it

I didn’t truly get the whole “death of the author” paradigm until I watched the harry potter fandom collectively divorce JKR

#also it’s not just cursed child #it’s also all the slytherin kids branded evil #it’s about ending a series with babies ever after #writing an epilogue designed for baby boomers in a series aimed at millennials #it’s harry naming his kid after two abusers #it’s about claiming dumbledore is gay for Diversity Points #but in a movie series featuring his life #and featuring the one he loved #there won’t be a trace of it #it’s about casting an abuser then making excuses for it #when hp is the story of an abuse survivor #it’s about everything to do with the american magical community #from cultural appropriation to the sheer pain of the term ‘no maj’#sorry rowling #you started us off #but now #our city now
