When friends normalize colorist humor at your expense

I'm the darkest person in my friend group and they keep making jokes about how I 'disappear' in dark places, acting like it's harmless fun when it makes me want to disappear completely.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Social groups often use colorist jokes to maintain hierarchies while dismissing the psychological impact on those targeted.
