OK, so I know it's me nitpicking...but when folks put together these images of skin tone ranges for stuff like makeup products, I can't be the only one kinda rubbed the wrong way when they're arranged from lightest to darkest, right?
It's kinda like what I've seen some people say about that 1A - 4C hair texture scale. Something that's meant to be inclusive is accidentally(?) just reinforcing existing white supremacist hierarchies.
This popped up in my head because I came across a tweet with this image and I couldn't not see it. Like, The Blacks™ are literally at the end and the bottom. lol

These come up on my social media semi-regularly and it's rare that I ever see the order reversed.
