@aliyahtrinette: I’m 50/50 mixed; my dad casually mentioned that although my sisters (100% biological) are “light skinned”; I am not. I “far surpass” light skinned apparently 😂 now I’m having an identity crisis. #lightskinned #mixed #identitycrisis #whatami #funny @kellymccoy545
For those curious this is my Dad and I ❤️and my hair is naturally curly,I just had it straightened today 😅

As someone else said, I think he meant that you're using the terminology wrong. Mixed people are not "light skinned", they're mixed, so they often turn out lighter. But lightskinned refers specifically to black people who have two black parents and come out with lighter skin despite that. Mixed people are just called mixed.

We are not lightskinned. We have light skin. There’s a huge difference. So he’s absolutely telling you what you need to hear.

Often, mixed-race people will call themselves "light-skinned " if they identify as Black.

Depends on whose definition of being light skinned. Light skinned according to a black or a brown person?

Fyi , when we are talking about African-American people and they were using the terminology light skin mixed people don’t fall into that category

Why is there always this weird shame thing when it comes to being mixed and looking lighter? Like you’re allowed to be lighter

why are ppl arguing that mixed ppl can't be light skinned??? not every mixed person is the same colour, some are darker than fully black ppl, some are whiter than white ppl, we come in shades, and bring light skinned can definitely apply to mixed ppl because we dont come in one shade!!

On TikTok I’ve learned that there is a difference between having light skin and BEING “a light skin” (noun). Nobody is saving that mixed people (in this context, someone with one non-black parent) can’t have light skin, they’re just not a part of that specific grouping of Black Americans.
