Women of Colour have been whitewashed in photography by the media - digitally and with lighting effects - for a long time. Because lighter equals more power. here are a few examples involving plenty of women who do not use skin lightening products who end up appearing very light, and many to the point of appearing White, usually when their pictures are out of their own hands. Also, most White photographers have no idea how to light Women of Colour well leaving a paler look.
I'm not a big fan, prefer much of earlier work in Destiny's Child, particularly her song on consent, and am not her target demographic, but a lot of things Beyonce's written, spoken about, and many of her other works are so overlooked and she's more targetted than others who do similar (Much like Taylor Swift writes about her relationships in her music and it's 'her way of growing and coping with it', but Rihanna does the same and it's apparently glorifying her abuse).
And Naysa, you can just use the word White or if you need a similar term to the others, European. The term Caucasian was invited by a crazed, racist German scientist who tried to divide the world into the good light skinned people (Caucasians) and the rest (Mongoloids), to couch his racism in scientific terms. Apparently, he didn't know his geography well as the Caucas mountains, mostly in the Armenian Highlands, are mostly populated by People of Colour and using Caucasian to mean White people erases their existence. White people didn't come from there, there is no evidence that the mutation that caused white skin came from that region. Also, if you read your history, most Black people in the States (and other heavily colonized areas) will have White heritage due to the high rate and purposeful rape of Black women.
