Hahah when did I say that you find the darker skin despicable, don't defend your position in that sense.

My contention of this argument is that when a person promotes the fairer (whiter, or brighter [according to you]) as being the better looking from the dark, then that in a way is promoting that stereotype that has existed for ages - where the white skin is the superior one.

Yes, your argument about racism happening from two different races is true, however these beliefs of the fairer skin being better are not helping in the matters of racism being eradicated, rather (in my opinion) are further promoting them as they put down the darker skin to say that the whiter skin is better-looking, or more beautiful, or people with whiter skin are more preferred/more confident etc etc etc.

Although appreciating fair skin over dark skin can't be called Racism per se...In my opinion it definitely does fall in the ambit of racism, because in not so few cases skin colour and racist behaviour are interlinked ...
Even during apartheid there were specific areas earmarked as "whites' only" where it would also be written in the signboard"Blacks not allowed".. Again thats an attack against race and skin colour...

Thanks for the link...it only reiterates my point...But i was actually referring to the apartheid in South Africa where "blacks not allowed" signs were put up in certain places...Again, i was referring to South Africans when I mentioned people calling them "blacks" and how I see that as racism
