'the skin color from who?'
It's in Portuguese: "the skin color from - who?"
In Brazil, the majority of kids grow up drawing whit sets of pencils, markers, and crayons that have a light peach/pink tone and are commonly called 'skin color'.
Our population has 43.1% (2015) of declared white people. And what does that mean? That for a long time most of our children absorbed during their cognitive development that the so-called 'skin color' is not their color.
That makes us rethink how rooted in our culture discrimination can be. Looking at what children absorb and are exposed to is key to weakening structural racism and freeing our society more and more of the discrimination of any kind.
