Lightie is British slang for mixed-race girl.
It's used as a term of endearment but is anti-poc by nature as it seeks to make mixed-race women (particularly those who have partial black lineage) seem 'better' than black women because of their appearance.
For example, lighties would be the following:
1) Jorja Smith
2) Mahalia
3) Latesha Grace
4) Erica Fontaine
5) Maya Jama
6) Any woman/girl on instagram with silky curly hair, biracial or multi-racial, sometimes has different colored eyes like green or blue, & fair skin complexion
Most grime emcees used to say that lighties were what we should desire and the ultimate woman was a lightie.
Lighties are stereotyped in good ways but sometimes are used as props for colorism.
They're praised for having non-black features while being a bit black-ish.
Most black athlete and entertainers have kids with or date lighties or have said they would like to: anyone from Stormzy has said they love lighties to Anthony Joshua who said he loved lighties. Most Black British men prefer lighties.

Now that that ouk is a prefect, he can tune all the lighties.
Translation: Now that that guy is a school prefect (upperclassman) he can direct, scold and order about the younger boys (lower classman).
