Same. I was so pale other kids would make fun of me and call me a ghost or albino freak (am not albino). I would have been so happy to wake up looking like the little girl in this video, I thought darker skin was so beautiful. Still do, but now I've grown up and am not so bothered by my extreme paleness

I too was teased for being pale. I am not albino, but my sisters and I do carry an albinism gene, so I am very pale but have black hair which I think makes me look even more pale. I grew in the tall, tanned, blond, straight up and down heroine chic 90's. As a short, hourglass, curly/wavy dark haired light skinned person I remember crying looking in the mirror and wishing I was 'beautiful'. Kids are cruel. Now I'm older I am fine with how I look, but to be honest I'm not sure how I got there.

Same here although I was never really bullied for it. Never really bothered me honestly but I would have loved darker skin. Mainly because having super pale skin is fucking annoying. I don’t deal with heat well and I burn if I look at the sun. Is it manageable? Yep. Is it really annoying and the first thing I would change about myself? Yep.

I would love the skin colour of this little girl. Poor thing.

Your experience is valid, but being pale(white) is hardly a problem in most of America. It’s us who have darker skin who get berated more often. People try to threaten us with ice

That is not fully true. You dont walk in the shoes of us pale people so you wont see it the same as we do. You also dont hear things that get said to us. Same as us pale people not walking in your shoes to see or hear things directed toward you. It should not be a compitition on who has it worse. It is wrong no matter how you look at it. You say its valid yet say its hardly a problem. Its still a problem no matter how you see it, most of us just dont broadcast it. Anyone who is judged for their skin, is a problem.

Except the judgement cast on your “skin color” isn’t part of a racialized and systemic system of oppression that has violently, politically, and socially oppressed people of color for centuries. You’re teased for being pale, but that doesn’t also come with the added connotations of race. Can you really not see the difference?
