There’s so much negativity towards white passing people and how they used their light skin to ensure they’re safety, but it has to be jealously and colorism that influences that. They could not choose if they were white passing, and they chose to use that privilege to make sure they wouldn’t be hurt. Yes, it sucks that not everybody has that same privilege, but I’m all for people doing what they need to do to live. Also, the way that fetishization was described was absolutely perfect.
