Etymology
From light + skin.
noun
- A black, mixed race, Indigenous, Latino, or other person of color who has relatively light-coloured skin.“A man who is getting ahead tends to seek a lighter mate, and because “a good man is hard to find,” it would be difficult for a lightskin girl consistently to reject darker people. A darker man who offers security, through social position and other advantages, may well be preferred to a lightskin man of little enterprise.”
