I wonder about Botswana, where there are Bantu and lighter skinned San.

  I imagine there will be an argument about this but the Rif Mountains in Morocco have light skinned, red-haired Berbers, and the Arabs tend to consider themselves "better".  I don't know if that has changed with the recent revitalization movements of Berber languages and ethnic groups.  Any Moroccan opinions?  Christina

    Is there anywhere in the world today where lighter skinned people are considered "lower"?

                  By LINDA GORDON 
                  Nell Irvin Painter's accessible study shows that deciding who is white has always been heavily influenced by class and culture.
