Great job! Just like all non-black POC benefit from anti-blackness, folks with lighter skin benefit from having closer proximity to ytness. It isn’t our faults it is this way, but we have privilege. My skin isn’t lily white but it is relatively lighter and it took me a while to acknowledge the layers of privilege I have. Acknowledge racism exists in our Latinx communities and not only how that hurts us but also benefits us. It is very easy to take this personal just how poor Anglo whites refuse to believe yt privilege exists because of poverty and other systemic discrimination they face, but they are still yt and there are layers to privilege that they have access to.
