On the Pakistani end, there were conversations about lightening creams and not spending too much time in the sun. On the American influence, well, let’s just say being American was understood to have an upper limit on melanin, which I far exceeded. — PolitiTweet.org

For so many years as a first-generation immigrant child, I complained about my brown skin. Society, both the Pakistani and American influences I was immersed in, told me I needed to be lighter in order to be pretty. https://t.co/KkeHltIRo6 — PolitiTweet.org

My dad would tell me seriously, Allah judges us for our piety, not our skin color. He’d tell me jokingly, “white people pay lots of money” to brown their skin. “No, daddy, they don’t. For this?” “Yes beta, it’s a whole industry. They have sprays and they sit outside to bake.” — PolitiTweet.org
