Yep, Jamaican here. Everyone is black, but there’s a huge problem with “bleaching” where people are whitening their skin color, as they perceive it to be of higher status.

I think skin bleaching might be a rampant issue. iirc Africans and Asians also do it. Everyone seems to want lighter skin. Wonder if it’s due to Western influence.

At least some of it comes from outdoor workers being darker from sun exposure and then cultures associate “dark = laborer.”
