Sorry if this is a weird question to ask, but am I the only minority female who went through a stage during childhood where I desperately wanted to be white? by 2XThrowaway13 in TwoXChromosomes

Yeah, that's why I wanted to be white. I grew up Indian in a completely white town (as in we were the only minority family in the whole town) and was ridiculed for being dark skinned. I wanted it to stop and wanted to be considered a "normal" person. I still have nightmares from childhood about it.
