[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/10/02 17:21 PM >>> The general conception about why "lighter is better" among many people of color is that it's an internalization of racist attitudes. In other words, they've heard from white people for the longest time that being white is better than being a person of color. Therefore, they affected minority begins to believe this, and in turns, inflicts the attitude on other members of the minority. But, since no one in the group is actually "white," your degree of lightness becomes the discriminating factor. Essentially, it's just a continuation of racism. -d Deanna Schneider Interactive Media Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
