Ethnic tweaking - making a decision to change something that is dear to your culture. Ex: julie chen changing her eyes to boost her career, skin bleaching. Colorism = the lighter you are, the more accepted you feel by your peers (you feel less accepted by your peers if you have darker skin) Doll test - kenneth clark performed these tests to show the effects of segregation on students based on color. Took kids between the ages 3 and 9 and asked them, which doll is better? and presented kids with a white doll and a black doll. Majority of kids chose the white doll.
