Understanding colorism within the Latino culture is critical because despite our best efforts to deny it, it really does exist.
As a Cuban native, I can attest that this is also an issue in Cuba and by extension, Miami. There's definitely a lot of work to be done in this area.
As deep-seated as this issue is, I find the statistic you cite toward the end of the piece to be encouraging: "The number of Latinos who identified as multiracial increased from 3 million in 2010 to more than 20 million in 2020."
