Hello sweetheart! My colleague and I would rather this were kept to people who identify as not white - because the problem, when we try running this debate, is that people (usually white people) start overruning us with tales of how make-up/tights/etc don't match their skin either - whilst not realising the point, i.e., that they are in a privileged position, and that for them this is a minor inconvenience rather than symptomatic of our invisibility in the mainstream.
