I recently observed a woman purchasing a fairness crème at the supermarket. I was honestly unsure of how to feel. My mind wandered, and I was astonished to think that someone still valued fair skin tone.
On the other hand, I questioned whether anyone actually believed that changing one's skin tone was conceivable. But what struck me the most was how deeply ingrained this preoccupation is—despite the fact that we may all be aware that changing one's skin tone isn't actually possible, we still can't get rid of the notion of investing in skin-fairness creams.
I clearly recall hearing that if I consume enough beetroot during my pregnancy, the baby will be born with a milky white complexion. Our adherence to fairnessAccording to research, some of this still occurs, particularly throughout the employment process. In order to be considered for a post, minority candidates must submit 50% more applications, according to a study on "Ethnic discrimination in hiring decisions" that was published in the Journal of Ethnic and Migration studies.
There is a lot of inequality. However, I believe it is a gender construct and not only a social one, and only in Asia. A dark-skinned girl has it so much harder than a boy in Asian nations. And more so for social acceptance than for the hiring process.
But the moment has come to make a shift. This taboo must be broken so that even women of darker skin tones can live in this community in harmony and with dignity. But the movement won't continue unless the women speak out for themselves. Every woman ought to appreciate and encourage other women. If a man rejects you because of the colour of your skin, you should reject him first and put him in his place. No one else in the society will have an opportunity to comment on a woman's colour if she accepts it herself and does not want to change it. They should vehemently denounce and boycott the use of those cosmetics.The world adores people of colour like Barrack Obama, Nelson Mandela, Bob Marley, Serena Williams, Beyonce, and many others on the list. Do you wonder if they are well-known enough? They would have been just another regular person battling the world to accept them if they had been assessed solely on the basis of their skin colour. They fought the world on their own, became a change to the youth, and refused to let their skin colour determine their aspirations or determine their destiny. Instead, they accepted themselves as they were born.
A shout-out to everyone out there to never stop loving yourself and watch miracles, strength, and power come your way. Only at the laundry are clothes divided according to their materials.
