    Well I know in the Latin American context there’s colorismo, which is based on skin tone and isn’t directly rooted in ethnic specificity. There are so many people with non-white admixtures that the concept of white supremacy can’t be maintained without compromises, but people with lighter skin are privileged over people with darker skin regardless of what race they actually are.

    I think the US might be going in this direction? It’s slow, though.
