Jup, just like in the rest of the world, we have that problem of colorism. Even though with newer generations and all the mixed babies and mixed thoughts, cultures and friend groups it is becoming less, it still lingers amongst some. Especially in political circles and in terms of stereotypes.

In Jamaica the it is prevalent though fading as well. But the skin bleaching is like a hobby for many, like putting on lotion lol.
Never understood people bleaching their skin knowing that it is harmful.
At least regular make-up is a bit safer.
Now that I think of it, it's more racism than colorism here. Nobody really focuses on skin tone.
A lot Jamaican inner city peeps deep in it. Is a shame, they even have bleaching songs.
Jamaica wicked with the colorism, hence the bleeching.
