Abeer Sinder is a fourth-generation Saudi Arabian with African roots, and the first black Saudi beauty-vlogger and a social media influencer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And although that’s a good thing, and it seems her audience seems finds her beautiful and entertaining. Sinder addressed that an issue of subliminal racism always came her way, especially when strangers would compliment her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She starts off by talking about an encounter when a black male took a photo then asked to put a filter that would make his skin look whiter, so the photo would come out ‘better’. This kind of subliminal, meant-in-a-not-offensive type of comments is a child of the ancient beauty standards set by the Western world, that ‘white’ is beautiful and ‘black’ is not.\u00a0<\/p>\n
