Can you explain what colorism is?
<|assistant|>
Colorism is a form of discrimination based on skin color. It is the preference of lighter skin tones over darker skin tones, which often leads to bias and unfair treatment. Colorism can manifest itself in multiple ways, such as in hiring practices, media representation, or beauty standards. People of darker skin tones can experience a variety of discriminatory practices and attitudes that privilege those with lighter skin colors, often resulting in a wide variety of consequences. It is important to recognize colorism and take steps to fight against it to ensure equality for all.
