Colorism started before slavery.

Africans had a color caste system over in Ghana before we were snatched and transported across the pond?

  well it for sure existed in India wayyyyy before the Atlantic slave trade

This cannot be proven. People still debate these things. But back then if at all it wasn't about being mixed or closer to white but about who had to work in the sun and on the fields. It was a sign of class not racial inferiority.

In the ancient Indian scripture of the Ramayana, there?s a scene that depicts a fight between a noble, fair-skinned king from the north, and an evil dark-skinned king from the south. According to an explanation of the Ramayana published through UCLA, this tale may date back as far as 1500 BCE.

We were talking about the Indian community/Bollywood in here?

If we're talking in general just let me know. I thought this was specifically about the Black community
There are elements to our challenges that are very unique. There's even now a thing called "texturism".

Didn't Gina and Pam work at the same job?
they just had different personalities

but still Gina was the lead of the show and Pam was the second banana, even though she was way funnier.

[KING BENTLEY.]

Yep. That's why is what cool when girls like Nia Long, Alysia Rogers, and other brown-skinned beauties got their roles.  I can't readily think of an example with a brown girl being the chosen one with a light-skinned sidekick, though.

Nia is a light hue of brown to me
She's definitely low fat caramel color

Well most these black celeb men "in real life" go out and Marry light skin women. 
Is it colorism or a reflection?

Yep I agree. And although I do think colorism exists
I do feel like some darker ppl always have a complaint anytime somebody lighter achieves something

Like Tisha is a damn good actress. It just fit their personalities. Gina was the one who needed a man, Pam was more strong willed. If anything shouldn't that be a compliment

It is as if dark skin represents masculinity, the way the woman is ALWAYS lighter

Plus Martin and Gina were a couple on House party 
It made sense to cast her as the lead love interest
