Besides education and awareness, how can we impact and disrupt the colorism and racism especially in Asia, Africa and South America.?
I have observed that people always say that we have to talk about the issue of colorism and racism. However, I want to know what other outlets that I or we can all take part that is not polarizing.
How can we materialize the change in ourselves and others when it comes to color and other indigenous features that are deemed by many societies as ugly. Not only from the colonized perspective but also from a historical obsession over lighter skin.
Please enlighten me! What can I do from within and without, CONCRETELY!
Although, explanation about colorism and racism can also be a reply. I'm very interested with your perspective on this even if you're prejudiced.
P.S. WE ARE ALL PREJUDICED. I'AM NOT AN EXCEPTION AS WELL.

Most mammals have light skin that is covered by fur, and biologists believe that EARLY HUMAN ANCESTORS started out this way also. Dark skin probably evolved after humans lost their body fur, because the naked skin was vulnerable to the strong UV radiation. We all came from pale skinned Africans. Lucy had pale skin under her body hair. So did H.Erectus, Denisovans and Neanderthals. We all came from pale skinned Africans and human culture itself (art, cooking, tools, weapons, clothing) came from pale skinned Africans. ✊🏻
