Ep.15: Colourism in South Asia: Colonial Legacies, Modern Realities

In this episode of Armpit Intellectuals, we dive deep into the issue of colourism in South Asia, with a focus on Pakistan. We explore its roots in colonial history, class structures, and Eurocentric beauty standards.

We share personal experiences, discuss the impact of colonial legacies, and highlight ongoing struggles against colourism in both South Asia and the diaspora. We also emphasize the importance of decolonization and advocate for greater awareness and structural change to combat this pervasive form of discrimination.

This episode offers a critical examination of how societal norms continue to uphold harmful biases and what we can do to challenge these systems.
