Discrimination based on skin color, or colorism, is a form of prejudice or discrimination in which human beings are treated differently based on the social meanings attached to skin color.
Colorism, a term coined by Alice Walker in 1982, is not a synonym of racism. "Race" depends on multiple factors (including ancestry); therefore, racial categorization does not solely rely on skin color. Skin color is only one mechanism used to assign individuals to a racial category, but race is the set of beliefs and assumptions assigned to that category. Racism is the dependence of social status on the social meaning attached to race; colorism is the dependence of social status on skin color alone. In order for a form of discrimination to be considered colorism, differential treatment must not result from racial categorization, but from the social values associated with skin color.
Colorism can be found specifically in parts of Africa, Southeast Asia, East Asia, India, Latin America, and the United States. The abundance of colorism is a result of the global prevalence of “pigmentocracy,” a term recently adopted by social scientists to describe societies in which wealth and social status are determined by skin color. Throughout the numerous pigmentocracies across the world, the lightest-skinned peoples have the highest social status, followed by the brown-skinned, and finally the black-skinned who are at the bottom of the social hierarchy. This form of prejudice often results in reduced opportunities for those who are discriminated against on the basis of skin color.

Bianca Punzalan is a senior at Moreau Catholic High School. She has been a member of student government, the Writers Club, and the National Honors Society at her school. She will be attending the University of California Berkeley in the fall to study environmental sciences at the Rausser College of Natural Resources.

In the Philippines, many people will go to great lengths to lighten their skin because the sad truth of it all is that in Filipino culture dark skin equates to being dirty, ugly, and poor. In this talk, speaker Bianca Punzalan will explore the origins of the colonial ideals of colorism and how we end anti-brownness once and for all. Bianca Punzalan is a senior at Moreau Catholic High School. She has been a member of student government, the Writers Club, and the National Honors Society at her school. She will be attending the University of California Berkeley in the fall to study environmental sciences at the Rausser College of Natural Resources. Bianca is a champion of sustainability and environmental justice in her community. Her other interests include Southeast Asian studies, volleyball, and visual arts. She hopes to further her advocacy and raise awareness of the effects of colorism, particularly how it affects women in the Philippines, into her college years. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

Hey everyone, in today's video I'm discussing the ever-popular topic of colorism. As this is an issue that is still running rampant in many communities of color; this video is long overdue!
What is colorism?
Is light skin privilege real?
Are dark skin women just bitter?
Watch the entire video and you just might find your answer.

In the Philippines, many people will go to great lengths to lighten their skin because the sad truth of it all is that in Filipino culture dark skin equates to being dirty, ugly, and poor. In this talk, speaker Bianca Punzalan will explore the origins of the colonial ideals of colorism and how we end anti-brownness once and for all. Bianca Punzalan is a senior at Moreau Catholic High School. She has been a member of student government, the Writers Club, and the National Honors Society at her school. She will be attending the University of California Berkeley in the fall to study environmental sciences at the Rausser College of Natural Resources. Bianca is a champion of sustainability and environmental justice in her community. Her other interests include Southeast Asian studies, volleyball, and visual arts. She hopes to further her advocacy and raise awareness of the effects of colorism, particularly how it affects women in the Philippines, into her college years. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

Do light skinned black women have skin color privilege? The answer is yes! And while we tend to think about people being judged by the color of their skin, as “Racism” the truth is the “colorism” exists both inside and outside the black community. How so? Watch the episode to find out.

MUSIC
I'm so sorry I genuinely can't remember which song I used but it's from the YT music library!
So this is a series of videos I plan on doing once a month where I take you through my skin care routine and tackle a subject related to the "times". This video essay on colorism was a lot of fun to make! I discovered lots of new information so I hope it is informative, fun, and an all around good time!

Discrimination based on skin color, or colorism, is a form of prejudice or discrimination in which human beings are treated differently based on the social meanings attached to skin color.
Colorism, a term coined by Alice Walker in 1982, is not a synonym of racism. "Race" depends on multiple factors (including ancestry); therefore, racial categorization does not solely rely on skin color. Skin color is only one mechanism used to assign individuals to a racial category, but race is the set of beliefs and assumptions assigned to that category. Racism is the dependence of social status on the social meaning attached to race; colorism is the dependence of social status on skin color alone. In order for a form of discrimination to be considered colorism, differential treatment must not result from racial categorization, but from the social values associated with skin color.
Colorism can be found specifically in parts of Africa, Southeast Asia, East Asia, India, Latin America, and the United States. The abundance of colorism is a result of the global prevalence of “pigmentocracy,” a term recently adopted by social scientists to describe societies in which wealth and social status are determined by skin color. Throughout the numerous pigmentocracies across the world, the lightest-skinned peoples have the highest social status, followed by the brown-skinned, and finally the black-skinned who are at the bottom of the social hierarchy. This form of prejudice often results in reduced opportunities for those who are discriminated against on the basis of skin color.
