I can also name Lupita Nyongo, Viola Davis, Gabourey Sidibe, Tika Sumpter, Naturi Naughton Etc. as evidence that colorism does not affect dark skin women in entertainment. Your argument is flawed and not objective. Colorism affects dark skin just as much as it does dark women and statistics in employment and criminal justice supports this, the only difference is that dark men can improve their social standing with wealth, whereas women are strictly judged on their looks. Dark skin men hide their struggle with colorism cos it makes them look vulnerable and weak, they need to portray a masculine, strong persona.
