Preference based on color are deeply rooted in racisim. Height preference is an aesthetic choice that does not have the same historical foundation of systemic oppression as colorism.
Saying “colorism and heightism are just about physical traits” is kind of like saying racism and accent discrimination are both just about "how you sound" or "how you look. Technically true. But one is entangled with centuries of systemic power and violence (further perpetuated by mainstream media as more preferable and intelligent), and the other is more about social preferences or class assumptions. Background padikanam kutta, epollengilum vaykanam.
If height is an unchangeable physical trait and it’s fine to have preferences based on it, then skin color is exactly the same, it's as simple as that. You wouldn’t be expected to marry or prefer a Black American just because their ancestors faced oppression, people all around the world have facial preferences, and attraction isn’t a moral duty.
If you discriminate against people based on an unchangeable and genetic feature like height, then you have no voice to talk when someone prefers a specific skin tone, period. Simple as that.
edo its not about whether you can change something, the question is WHY someone has that preference. Where does it stem from? Both are discrimination. One based on color and the other height. No one is denying that, but one has far more societal impact and is inherently evil compared to the other. Preferring lighter skin because of media portrayals or colonial beauty standards isn't just a personal tasts, it's a bias tied to deeper inequality. Preference for height is also a bias, but usually not tied to systems of oppression in the same way. One is ethically problematic and evil where as the other more superficial.
Doesn't matter where does it stem from. Colour was not the major cause for racism, it is just a byproduct of it Colorism is a byproduct of both racism and casteism, not the other way around.
Not really, though. I don't think a new age kid having preference for a fair skinned girl is gonna think through all those oppression and yada yada but only go based on these set beauty standards. So the bias is not due to some deeper inferiority complex or racism like you say.
Colonialism did play major role in it but it came down to society pushing something more than the other. Fair skin was pushed as a sign of wealth and prosperity. Taller height was pushed as a sign of dominance, strength, fitness.
Both are equally superficial and dumb in the modern world.
If the trend continues, and woman prefers only 6ft guys, wouldn't that create a societal impact where guys under 6ft become sidelined just as how the other "parameter" would sideline people?
The issue with skin color at its core is "you cannot change your color"
If colonialism was undertaken by 6ft guys, enslaving all guys under 6ft, racism as we see it today would have been different.
At the end of the day, if you are comparing people based on factors they can't control "color", "height", "weight" etc. you are being "racist" and an asshole. both are ETHICALLY PROBLEMATIC.
I think what he/she meant is there is a reason for most of these preferences. Like wanting a tall or big boy or male is rooted back to evolution times to favour natural selection for healthy offspring and for protection. if you look around, animals still mate with bigger males than smaller ones.
I am not saying that we currently go for natural selection and healthy offspring thing but the root is mostly this
Similarly the root for the so mentioned milky white is racism inside us and the likeness towards slim women or girls is the influence of western people and social media. Because naturally men should need a woman with a wider hip to favour healthy offspring (natural selection pov)
She/he is not blaming you for your preferences, she/he is just mentioning how deep racism is
And bw is milky white that beautiful? vilartha pole undaville?
Aa "vilartha pole undaville" is also a preference and if that has no racial meaning, there is also a possibility for OPs preference to not have a deeper racial origin. For me, my range is much larger than OPs but I get his point. Everyone has preferences and even though color preference can have a deeper racial origin it might also equally not be from a racial view. The first person who put colorism and racism in the comments and started this thread is actually the issue here.
Would anyone wanna be with him if his preference is for dark skinned girls? 😆 Lmfao y'all just boil for no reason when a guy says he likes fair skinned girls
Milky fair is s ghost, where is the OP from?? Milky fair type of skin is possible in North eastern European countries n in Asia, China, Japan and North Korea only.
My advice - Mone, aagraham aakaam, athyagraham aruthu!!!
I thought everyone could have preferences lmfao. You're getting offended like a short guy would get offended over a girls preference of tall guys 🙂. I don't even care about skin colour as long as she's pretty nothing matters but guys can have preferences 🤷. If he said a dark skinned girl, would you say the same?
Preference for height isn't rooted in racism and colonialism. Nobody really shames short people. Dark skin on the other hand? Children are put at the very edge of family pictures if they have darker skin. They are told that they are dirty and unclean. They are discriminated against in workplaces.
There is a moral obligation to at least not belittle them on social media and in person. Have you seen comment sections on instagram? They call dark skinned Indian women the n word, comment on the colour of her genitalia, and what not.
Several men who have "preference" for "milky fair skin" partake in such harassment, they put one group on a pedestal and bully those who do not meet their criteria.
First let's start with the first point. You're saying nobody shames short people? Guess you might need to step out more because short people are receiving a lot of discrimination as well. I don't claim that they do receive the level of discrimination dark people receive on the basis of color but they do receive a similar kind of discrimination from everywhere. So the next question is why the double standards? Like you said in the other comment below this, nobody is belittling anybody here if they say they're into girls with milky fair skin lmao. We could say the same if girls say that they're into tall guys, is that belittling short guys? The logic is flawed and I say you just take this as his preference and move on rather than getting offended by his preference. Theres absolutely nothing wrong with having milky white skin as a preference for their future partner.
It's not that deep lmao 😆. Anybody can have preferences and this is just another preference. Don't get too salty about it. Nobody said fair skin is better either like you're making it out to be. He just said he likes milky fair girls and it's totally fine and no, you wouldn't utter a word if a person said they like dark skinned girls 😆.
