This definitely resonates with me and something I think about constantly as a white passing and mixed Person of Color. I want to continue to deconstruct these privileges with other light skinned and/or white passing people.
There’s also a post written by a light skinned Latina about how we don’t need to see more light skinned people in media that compliments this post...
