I can confirm, I'm also Latino and received various compliments on my skin color. And my friend would refuse to go to the mall in the affluent part of town complaining that she felt discriminated against because of her darker complexion even though she's beautiful. It trips me out because people here swear up and down that racism doesn't exist saying there's only classism.

Edit to clarify that she felt discriminated against because of her skin color.
