肤色偏见是全球有色人种的社会公正问题。然而，在英国，还没有一项重大的社会学研究来探索色彩旅游。为了解决这一差距，我们对居住在英格兰的黑人和混血异性恋男性进行了九次深入的定性采访，这些采访构成了一项更大的颜色旅游研究的一部分。通过交叉女性主义视角的反身性主题分析，我们认为色彩是性别化的。我们发现，黑人男性都体验到了有色人种，并通过取笑男性同龄人和偏爱皮肤白皙的女性来延续这种有色人种。我们的分析产生了三个主题：(1)将色彩作为成长的一部分；(2)黑人和混血男性的肤色悖论；(3)黑人男性凝视中的色彩和可取性。这项研究从黑人和混血男性的角度对肤色进行了微妙的探索。它强调了色彩旅游在英国的重要性。
Colourism – skin shade prejudice – is a social justice issue for People of Colour globally. Yet, there has been no major sociological study that explores colourism in the UK. Addressing this gap, we draw on nine in-depth qualitative interviews with Black and Mixed-Race heterosexual men living in England that formed part of a larger study of colourism. Using reflexive thematic analysis through an intersectional feminist lens, we argue that colourism is gendered. We found that Black men both experience colourism and perpetuate it by teasing male peers and favouring women with light skin. Our analysis generated three themes: (1) navigating colourism as part of growing up; (2) skin shade paradoxes for Black and Mixed-Race men; and (3) colourism and desirability through the Black male gaze. This research provides a nuanced exploration of colourism from Black and Mixed-Race men’s perspectives. It underscores the significance of colourism in the UK.
