I got an e-mail from H20+ today about "staff favorites". There are pictures of the staff who are favoriting things. Only one man (unsurprising and it does not bother me), 3/5 blonde (sigh), and one person who isn't "white". She still has very light skin. I get weirded out when I see walls of white people looking at me now. It looks off -- that's not what my community has looked like since I was 20ish. But it's especially an issue when it's with a skincare company. The whole "light skin is more beautiful" prejudice is still strongly embedded in our and many other cultures, and besides being total bullshit, it's very harmful. As total bullshit always is.
