Yes, colorism and light skinned privilege, in particular, exists. Both subsets of racism/white supremacy will always exist, sadly BUT in the context of Zoe and her racial identity issues as a teen, I fail to see where they come up?

(Sidenote: I think MANY of us overestimate "light skinned privilege". It's exists, surely, but is not as significant as often thought.)

As far as her age goes, she didn't say that she still suffers from such ignorance. She's just recounting her younger years when she did. If folks read the entire profile, they'd see the proper context of everything said. (FWIW, 26 is fully grown yet still quite young but that's all subjective.)

Zoe was chubby, bruh. LOL. She wasn't in the spotlight when she was but I do remember seeing pics of her as a pre-teen and she was pudgy.
