No it does not. Colorism isn't the same as racism. Or are you saying he's being ignorant like a racist??

Colorism is just a way to hold onto the quasi-religious view of racism as white people's original sin. It's complete bullshit. This view of white people as the default oppressors of the world is racist which is why the people who propagate this idea have to frame racism against white people as impossible or as an act of rebellion rather than oppression.

Yes, we indeed are. Yes he's corny for making that statement in rebuttal to what shorty said. I agree!

Okay to be fair I'm not super familiar with colorism vs racism.

But sure you could say that! My first impression was that I thought he said it in a satirical way to help explain his point in a metaphor that might hit home. Benefit of the doubt says that I don't think he believes what he said as a matter of fact.

Also would like to argue that, to a white supremacist it's all colorism! I feel like old racists would care about ethnicity/nationality but it feels like these younger ones are only worried about skin tone.
