lightism

Discrimination against lighter-skinned people of the same ethnic or racial group
Lightism effects people who want to be considered part of the ethnic or racial group (usually marginalized ) that they were born into, however they are encouraged to assimilate to the dominate (usually white) racial identity because of a faire complexation in relation to the majority of others belonging to the same ethnic/racial background.
