What is a yellow bone in slang?

"Yellow bone" is a derogatory and offensive slang term used to describe a light-skinned Black person. It's rooted in colorism, a form of prejudice within Black communities that favors lighter skin tones.

Using this term is harmful and perpetuates harmful stereotypes. It's important to be aware of the impact of language and choose words that are respectful and inclusive.

Instead of using "yellow bone," try using terms like "Black person," "African American," or "person of color" to describe someone's race or ethnicity.
