This is just as much a problem in India, where it is called "colourism" as well as S.E. Asia. While slavery is not unknown in these countries, there was no slave trade to "white" countries. So to blame the Atlantic slave trade for this cultural phenomenon is ridiculous.

This will just increase the racial tension between Africans and white people, which will just make the racism worst.
