this is so petty but i really wish white people would stop using “the color of someone’s skin” as a stand-in term for “race.” they are not the same thing. this is not about the color of my skin, i am asian and paler than you yet you still hate me

it’s the same as when they’re like “i don’t care if you’re black, white, brown, green, purple…” as though racism is just about someone’s appearance and not deeply entrenched scientific, medical, and social categories for the express purpose of oppression and violence
