In many workplaces today, diversity and inclusion are prioritized, with organizations aiming to create environments where people are valued for their skills and not for their appearance or background. Yet, despite these efforts, some individuals still cling to biases—especially around skin color. While most of us focus on work ethic, ideas, and achievements, certain people unfairly judge others based on superficial qualities, making jokes or remarks that are both outdated and harmful.
Sadly, it’s common for people who don’t fit conventional beauty standards—such as being “fair”—to face microaggressions or insensitive comments.
Color bias is not just a minor offense; it erodes people’s confidence and sense of belonging. Jokes or dismissive comments about someone’s appearance can lead to feelings of alienation and mental stress, reducing morale and productivity. Biases, when unaddressed, create an undercurrent of negativity, where people are valued less for who they are and more for how they look.
A Message to Those Who Judge - Morons
To those who still judge others by skin tone: it's time to wake up. Your petty judgments say nothing about the people you look down on—they expose you as someone shallow and ignorant. Mocking or undermining someone because of their skin color doesn’t make you superior; it makes you a small-minded relic in a world that has evolved far beyond such foolishness. Choosing to focus on someone's appearance rather than their abilities, intelligence, or character reflects a lack of depth and maturity. Frankly, it’s pathetic. Its shows your education level and your thoughts of culture.

Let’s be crystal clear: skin color has zero bearing on a person’s competence, ambition, or value. If you're still clinging to outdated biases, you’re not just out of place—you’re actively dragging others down.
The Irony of Color Bias: Praising Black Clothes, But Mocking Dark Skin
Isn’t it ironic? People often wear black clothing, calling it “cool” or “stylish,” yet some of those same people turn around and mock others for having brown or black skin. This double standard reveals a shallow mindset—celebrating color when it’s on clothing but judging it on a person.
The sooner you drop your outdated, toxic views, the sooner you'll stop being part of the problem.
