lakija replied to your post: I really don’t mean to be rude by this but I am wondering, woudn’t it be wrong to call yourself a womanist since you are light skinned? I am hispanic but I don’t have dark skin so I feel like it is wrong to call myself a womanist or even a woman of color. What are your thoughts on this?
White people spends hours and money getting deep tans, but they aren’t POC. If you’re light, or have some european features, but identify as non-white, acknowledge that you are generally more accepted, and call it out. But you’re still POC, imho.
I definitely am white passing; and I do have white privilege and light skin privileges.
