EXACTLY.
I was so mad and dissapoited when I read THAT part of the LN. I thought she woudl've have at least rejected to offer, cuz seriously it wasnt her skin color that was 'wrong' its the people's view and beliefs. My heart was ready to burst out and punch the daylights of that Light Spirit King
Awhhhh is she really going to change it? But I loved her for that because its so diverse and different from other reincarnation mangas hayzzzzzz thats sad
(〜￣△￣)〜
Yeah... I was looking forward to the next chapters until I read this...
Could you maybe edit in a spoiler alert to your conversation so that other won’t find out if they don’t want to?
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!!!
after I finished reading the manga, I didn't give much thought about it's being racist since there are only 2 chapters and I tried to give it a bit of my doubt. However, after looking through the comments I saw that some believe it's racist and some don't. So I decided to do some more research about the story and read the novel. And yeaaah it's about skin color!

after reading the novel (as of now it had 10 chapters), the author really focus on how her look makes her seen villainess and how she hates her look. It more focus on how her look make people scare of her instead of how her power. when she enrolled in the academy and during the tea party, some bitches was picking on her bc of her looks not bc of her power. If they were afraid of her bc of her power then they won't even able to get close to her bc her power would be too scary for them to approach her. If it's about her power everyone won't be able to get close to bc of her power aura intimidating them. BUT she doesn't have the scary aura that make scared by being near without looking at her like many other "villain" character similar to her.it's not about her power it's her look.
I gave it sooooo much hope when reading this, however when the author change her skin to paler and everyone become relieve when seeing that her skin change. (novel: chapter 10) I was like Yep this is about her skin color.
Damn this author won't cut it if this was written in the west or it's become main stream thing. there would be an overwhelmingly backlashes about this.
it's my opinion after my own research ,,, do ur own research first before forming one.

Wait.... That happens? I as a black person, I was so happy to see a dark skinned protagonist and thought that she was going to change the view of people because that's how all the villainess stories go but.... That's so sad and disappointing.
You're being naive. The fact of the matter is, throughout history people have used negative connotations when associated with people with dark skin, calling them evil, etc and positive connotations when associated with people of lighter skin tones. It's a subcategory of racism that developed because of slavery, which is colorism. Now, the problem isn't the fact that she's said to be evil with her dark skin tone, because the dark lord or whatever has the same skin tone and passed that on to her.
The problem lies in the fact that the author changed her skin tone, and suddenly people were less afraid of her, she wasnt viewed as evil, and she was viewed as good. You dont think its racist when the villains have dark skin and the protagonist has white skin? You dont think that perpetuates the idea that people with dark skin are thus evil, and cant be trusted? You see no problem with that? Wild. If she'd kept the dark skin in the end, there wouldnt be outcry like this.
And dont act like asia (yes, basically the whole Asian continent and the countries on that continent), isnt colorist and obsessed with skin lightening, brightening, etc. You're being willfully ignorant.
