Reply to comment by KGhaleon in TIL in the 1920s, Coco Chanel accidentally got a tan, and helped inspire the trend of sunbathing. Soon "sunlight therapy" was prescribed for almost every ailment from fatigue to tuberculosis. Before this, tanned skin was associated with the lower classes who work outside, and fair skin was revered. by Pfeffer_Prinz

Yes, the concept of racism is a belief, an idea.

You’re really going to argue people in the 1920s weren’t racist? While the KKK was running around?

You think racism ended with slavery?
