White people are treated like blonde girls. There’s a slight extra layer you’re treated with. Even if it doesn’t make sense. Unfortunately that’s where we are. Some people aspire to be white. If you’ve ever heard of the baseball player Sammy Sosa, a Hall of Fame level player, he’s white now. Skin bleaching is a thing. Many accused Michael Jackson of the same thing, though he claimed a medical reason. One of the books that a lot of kids read in high school, or at least they did in mine, is also about a black girl who dreams of growing up to be white (The Bluest Eye, I never actually read this book so this characterization might not be fair).
