About the Film
“Light, bright, damn near white…. light, bright, damn near white . . . girl;” the school children shouted while chasing a young girl home. “Red bone” and “high yellow” are common terms used in the African American community for light skinned individuals. This is a phenomenon in our culture that many people are unwilling to discuss. Many minority groups discriminate against one another based on their shade of darkness. The documented information on this issue is primarily from the African American community, but it occurs in other races too. Colorism, a form of discrimination based on skin tone, is incorporated into the daily lives of people of color across all socioeconomic boundaries and backgrounds. Because those practicing color bias do not recognize this as a form of discrimination, it goes on without discussion, protest or opposition. This 60-minute documentary follows the journey of two filmmakers -- one white, one black, as they interview friends and scholars to explore the multicultural nature of colorism and its significance in our society today.
