I’ve never had to be told by my parents that the color of my skin is beautiful. I inherited my mom’s light skin and freckles, albeit my father’s dark hair and eyes. My brother, on the other hand, is a carbon copy of my dad, including his tan skin. But as he’s grown and gone to school in a predominantly white community — he’s one of the only Hispanic kids in his grade — I’ve realized not everyone shares my envy. A teammate has called him black, and that teammate then said he hated black people, which is horribly offensive on a whole other level.
