\nColorism in the Filipino Community
\nReflection
\nThe focus of your paper should be on the author\u2019s arguments. I am especially interested in seeing a dialogue among the main ideas of the author(s) and your interpretation and\/or assessment of those ideas. The annotation and analysis of these reflective essays are designed to help you get your ideas on paper, sharpen your thinking and stimulate your creativity and imagination. Beyond the basic requirement that you annotate the reading\u2019s main ideas, this is your space to experiment. You might compare how two different readings from the course grapple with one theme. You might select an issue that is missing in the reading and examine how its absence weakens the author\u2019s overall arguments. You may select one theme that particularly interests you and follow it throughout several weeks of the course. Your goal is to place the readings in some sort of interpretive framework that makes sense to you.<\/p>\n
I would like you to focus on colorism particularity in the Filipino community.
\nHow colonialism (Spain, United States, Japan) had created a hierarchy valuing light skinned Filipinos over the dark skinned \u201cnegros.\u201d
\nThe idea that \u201cOne must suffer to be beautiful\u201d – ranging from using abrasive calamansi (Philippine lime) juice or whitening lotion on our skin and elbows to medical injections. That one needs to \u201clighten up\u201d to be considered beautiful.
\nHow farmers \u201ccover up\u201d with various hats and clothing so that they don\u2019t become dark skinned.
\nFrom using blue contacts to \u201ccover up\u201d our brown eyes to having plastic surgery to \u201ccorrect\u201d our \u201cpango\u201d or flattened noses.
\nHow children are told to \u201cmarry up\u201d meaning marrying white so that their children can pass for white or have the privileges of the white community.
\nHow some half Filipino celebrities are recognized more than others.
\nPlease mention how the current movement #MagandangMorenex celebrates the diversity of Filipino beauty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
