Colorism is treating someone differently due to the hue of their skin tone. Typically it’s the preference for light skin over dark skin, and is reflected in beauty standards, hiring practices, and many other of our societal systems. This typically results in people who have a darker skin tone being treated with prejudice or discrimination, but we’ll hear from our guests about all different types of colorism that they’ve experienced.
