No, I think that one who even considers changing something they never had anything to do with in the first place, is rather...hmm disturbed.
Yes, complexionism is a serious problem in our community; but that's because small minds think small.
There was a point in history where Franklin was afraid the Germans couldn't assimilate because of their "darker complexion." I know, you're thinking the sammme thing I was when I learned that. tehetehe
That goes to show you, times change, ignorance does eventually fade. And the way to combat ignorance is NOT by assimilation, disowning who you are, and becoming part of the problem.
