@nelly.for.real: I thought I escaped colourism when I left Sri Lanka but now I get negative comments about my skin colour from South Asian men in my comments 💀 • The amount of times I have been called the N word, in reference to my skin colour by these uneducated people is crazy. If you’re not black, you have no business throwing around that word so casually. • I know that the use of skin lightening cream and injections is at an all time high in Sri Lanka right now but please DO NOT fall for it. Being light skin has nothing to do with beauty. Beautiful features are going to shine, regardless of your skin colour. Also, instead of hyper-fixating on your physical appearance, invest in your education. Find a good hobby. Learn a new skill. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • #browngirl #srilankan #colourism #brown
