Abstract
Colorism as understood and experienced by Caucasian college-aged females was examined. While indicating a general lack of knowledge of the concept, Caucasian women reported more liberal views than society. They did not have a concept for labeling colorism but did report experiencing negative stereotypes often associated with the concept.
