On the other hand, being 'smart' or 'intelligent' might be positive but such people are often discriminated against by their peers for trying to 'act white'. It'll take a while but I guess, things will even out. And don't hold your breath for 'Return of DesiPundit'...it might be a while.

This was an eye-opener. I was actually under the impression that light skinned African-Americans face some kind of bias since they might be perceived as 'different'. I still think they do but I guess that does not make the desire to be light skinned go away. By the way.....mucho sad about Desipundit. Will wait for the 'Return of Desipundit - Back in Brown' Wow.
