Where I used to live as a child, people with darker skin were always made fun of so I suffered numerous insecurities as a result of that.
Did this happen to you as well, do you still have this problem?
I was tbh. A lot of the white kids in school could be ignorant without knowing it and at times I thought to myself "Why was I born Asian?". But now I'm happy with myself and proud of my heritage, skin colour and cuture.
Even as an adult, now I get comments about being too light-skinned for a Mexican. Luckily now I have "tougher skin" and don't let the comments get to me too much but its still puzzling how evil and hateful people can be.

you are an Asian?
well not really I'm happy with my exotic skin color
Kinda, only because I'm the whitest one of my whole family. Everyone can get a tan super easily but I have to be outside for hours. I'm not pale, I'm just the middle kind of white
I'm a dark skinned female and I've got those 'you're pretty for a dark skinned girl' comments which are awful. I love my tone and I would never change a thing.
I wish I was darker. I'm super pale... like really bright. But i'm not white, I do have a yellow-ish undertone and I tan very easily, but for some reason I look like a light bulb.
it's called being comfortable in your own skin. I'm white btw.
Being the only black kid in a class is weird.
