Ever since I was a kid, I was told to do the yucky stuff?

Like lifting heavy things, collecting cans , maybe killing a mouse or an insect; while my sister wasn't allowed to do those things because our mother saw me as a servant..my complexion is dark and my sister was light skin 

Update:

Anyways, we've all grown up now and my sis is my room mate.  I end up doing the lawn, throwing out trash, and if a table has dust , I have to clean it..should I tell her this is over and she should try doing the dirty jobs

     I am sure it has nothing to do with your skin being darker.  Since you are the boy, you are seen more of a big brother, and a protector, especially if there is no father in the picture.  On the other hand, now that you are both grown and live together, you should be sharing the housework. Tell her to get off her butt and help.  Everything should be 50/50... You win this one.. Go talk to her, but be nice..Don't yell or anything.
