Also the skin tone thing is a proof of the point. Lighter skin is seen as a status symbol, because it allows for easier assimilation into the broader culture. The concept of passing in the south during Jim Crow. It exists today, shit it even goes beyond that to names, and discrimination based on them. But at the end of the day it’s all built around the social hierarchy, and one group trying to maintain it (whites) and other groups fighting against each-other trying to not be at the bottom.
It sucks that w e as a society can’t look past that trivial shit and realize that the real structure is owners and workers. Some day Karl, some day…
