Do you think light skin or dark skin has it easier?

Question

I watch alot of bet and tv and i was watching the trya show one night; i really thought about this topic. I that light skin somtimes has it better than dark skin in relations to getting jobs,movies, and, especially videos! I feel that both are color are lovely but now when i watch tv i think of this topic? Really i think that all colors are hot but why do i sometimes feel disconnected?

Answer 1

Why is everyone so obsessed about skin color?  Every movie we have rented lately is all black people.  They are good actors, funny and I keep renting those movies.  But most white girls are pro traded as dumb blonds.  From clue less to cheerleaders.

It isn't even all the beautiful women anymore.  A lot of movie stars are very plain.  Beautiful women come in all colors.

Answer 2

There's two sides to the issue in my opinion. Light skin might be seen as easier, but it can also be viewed from the other side as not being dark enough.

Answer 3

If someone walks around with a chip on their shoulder playing victim, it doesn't matter what the color of their skin is, right?

Answer 4

Logically, I guess, you're best off if your physical appearance is in line with the status quo of your given society, or even the given circumstance/subculture. The only benefits reaped by your skin color come in the form of the reactions of others, and therefore how they will treat you, and how that will make you feel. Does your appearance fall in line with the majority of people's concepts of beauty, civility, class, and culture, in your given circumstance? Then you have it easy.

Answer 5

I think the fact that darker people have a disproportional large presence in the entertainment industry is a sign that light skinned people do not have it easier getting jobs in those fields. At least not in front of the camera or the microphone.

Behind the cameras and among the technical staff whitey and the asians are dominating.

Answer 6

Idk all skin colours are beautiful it doesn't matter really.Though if your skin is really fair as in porcelain,like mine,you get picked on a lot lol

Answer 7

Understand the original difference

Light skin far north of the equator.

Brown skin, closer to the equator

Black skin at or near the equator.

Beauty is beauty, light, brown, black. True beauty with intelligence and talent will always be supreme.

Answer 8

I think Light Skins get more attention...  Im a little darker than the ppl that are like really light skinned but idkk i can see what they mean when they say that.

[&& she means light && dark skinned black guyss ...]

Answer 9
