So I wonder why to this date on a high level of things like the corporate world and even in the media you still mainly see white/caucasian people?

Like when I think of CEO’s, boy bands or movie stars I rarely see for example black people. I feel like they’re under represented and it needs to change.

I once asked a similar question on a different Lemmy account and they were telling me I’m racist for being against racism. How does this make sense? I’m pretty sure white supremacy is a real thing and I think it’s important to speak up about it. Why do you think this is still an issue? Do people not care about it?

    People of mixed race are also often shunned by both parents’ ethnicities for not being “full” which results in less social cohesion.

    Basically, people of all ethnicities are bastards to anyone they perceive to be “less than full”. Not unlike how colorism works.

      colorism only goes one way and that’s against dark-skinned people. these terms are meant to analyze systems of power, there’s no oppression against light-skinned people
