I have enjoyed my research into colorism.  Just as we were discussing in class how people with black names got fewer interviews than white people, the same thing happens with race.  People of varying shades of color are definitely discriminated against based on color versus their capability to do the job.  Although it is wrong, it still happens.  People have not fully moved past racism from so many years ago.  These articles proved that.

I have been finding some good articles regarding colorism.  It still amazes me how much discrimination there is even in our generation.  You would think that there would be more equality these days.  There aren't a huge number of websites with studies, so I may widen my search to include colorism in the workplace in addition to job selection.  I look forward to seeing what other articles and information is out there.

I have found some interesting articles about colorism and how it relates to job selection, self-confidence due to discrimination, and other aspects of life. I find it interesting upon first looks that everyone who writes articles and does studies seems to be quite against colorism and wants it to end.  If so many people don't agree with it, it shouldn't be so prevalent in our society still today.   I think I may be surprised at just how many people are discriminated against just because of their skin color.
