discrimination

It's been this way since forever in my society but people are judged based on the content of melanin in their body. And its not just that simple. I hapoen to be born to a family where boyh my parents have a lighter skin tone but since mine was not, I was tagged ro be 'unattractive' since i was young. Yeah, how healthy it is for a 5 year old to be told that she should keep washing her face or she would look like a monster or she should start using 'whitening' creams. Or how some person tells a young girl to her face that she won't let her son marry her because their children would be tan. HOW FREAKING RIDICULOUS IS THAT? i feel so insecure even now when I am all grown up that whenever I look up to some slightly fairer toned person it just makes me feel really inferior. I donot control the way my genetics are, but all of this is fucking mesed up and it needs to stop.
