I'm younger, so I have the privilege of telling you you're cynical or trapped in the past. Or alternatively, maybe our ages have nothing to do with this.

Let’s be super clear; there is nothing whatsoever unfortunate about my skin. Or yours. The fact that you’d even dream of describing it as such again demonstrates that you’ve bought into ideas you shouldn’t have.

So yes, I am careful about calling ideas dumb. I don’t do so lightly at all. But if there’s an idea that makes you, or anybody, denigrate the colour of their own skin, I'm quite comfortable describing it that way.
