#obviously colorism means that naturally fairer people get more work too but like #genuinely it's bonkers how much people are clearly having maintaining a fair complexion managed #like obviously it's the same in india everyone is avoiding the sun and doing permanent skin lightening and and and etc etc etc #I think people just tend to forget that like. south/south east asians generally aren't as fair as they're represented #and paying attention to how that is very much deliberately curated and enforced is kinda whack
