💔 Love Island has a race problem and it’s time we talk about it. From the constant sidelining of dark-skinned Black women to the rise of the surgically enhanced “Instagram face,” this video breaks down how colorism, Eurocentric beauty standards, and racial bias shape who gets chosen, who gets loved, and who gets left behind.

We’re unpacking:

▪️ The pattern of Black women always being picked last

▪️ Why light-skinned and racially ambiguous women are framed as "diverse enough"

▪️ The cosmetic surgery pipeline from filler to fashion deals

▪️ Who really benefits from these beauty standards and who’s erased by them

▪️ How Love Island reflects real-world dating dynamics and racial desirability politics

🎥 This isn’t just about reality TV. It’s about how racism and colorism show up in the everyday politics of love, beauty, and worth.
