At first, intermixing between slave and master was undoubtedly met with shame, humiliation, and rage, since such children were the result of rape. However, since the percentage of men who will knowingly commit incest is lower than the percentage of men who will commit rape of any female, the female products of these rapes may have seen an improvement in their circumstances, when compared to other enslaved females. Therefore, the preference for lighter color begins, as mothers notice that their lighter-skinned children are treated a little more favorably than their darker-skinned children. This is not to suggest that lighter-skinned slaves were not treated in an abominable manner, nor that all lighter-skinned slaves received preferential treatment, but there was certainly enough of a difference to make mother's notice this. In fact, the supposed difference in I.Q. between light-skinned and dark-skinned blacks has been proven to be attributable to differences in environment,….

(NAME) [NAME][PROFESSOR NAME][SUBJECT]11th November, 2022ColorismHAT IS COLORISM AND HO DOES IT AFFECT INDIVIDUALS IN THEIR DAILY LIVES?Colorism is discrimination based on ones skin tone. It is the superior treatment of light-skinned people within a racial group at the expense of their dark-skinned colleagues (Viglione et al. 251). Fergus (as cited in Knight n.pag), conducted a study on colorism using high school males of Puerto Rican and Mexican (Latino) origin. The study established that although the boys were all Latinos, those with white-looking skin received more favourable treatment both at the family and school level as they were perceived as white, while their dark-skinned counterparts often suffered discrimination (Knight, n.pag). colorism is manifested when people of the same ethnic group face different outcomes and realities and different expectations based on their skin tone.Like racism, colorism disadvantages dark-skinned people, limiting their life chances and access to greater privileges A study by Viglione….

hough the color boundaries were frequently blurred and the circumstances for all were divergent and difficult, there was a clear sense of the morality of the eras not completely dictating the events and eventualities. In a sense the Jim Crow era sprang from this clouded moral code. Jim Crow was an attempt by whites, in both the south and the north to reassert the color lines. Even though years of intermarriages and variable legal and social statuses had proven much stronger than the original social demands of the men like Ballwell, who is said to have been simply jealous of John, because he got to Mocha before he had the chance, when they stated that colors didn't mix. here were in fact so many intertwining genetic paths that it is not a wonder that the concerns of "purists" did not get officiated much earlier in time. When early on….

The media greatly influences and shapes the society’s knowledge, attitudes, perceptions, and worldviews about diverse topics. Much of what different audiences within the society know and are concerned about is shaped by narratives, symbols, and images propagated by television, radio, and other forms media (Brooks & Hebert, 2006). These narratives and symbols play a crucial role in the construction of social identities – racial identity, gender identity, sexual identity, urban identity, and so on.
Advertisements are some of the media texts that shape social identities. Commercial organizations have time and again used ads not just to sell products and services, but to propagate certain narratives, especially with respect to race and gender. The propagation of those narratives has particularly gone a notch higher in the age of social media. This paper demonstrates and analyses the representation of race and gender in a selected advertisement. More specifically, the paper pays attention to….
