"Colorism" as described by the Merriam-Webster dictionary is the "prejudice or discrimination especially within a racial or ethnic group favoring people with lighter skin over those with darker skin." Abad, however, suggested that this racialized hierarchy applies to a wide range of experiences including sight, touch, sound, smell, and taste. 

She went on to claim that "specific food and specific aromas" are racialized, claiming even that different perfumes have racial connotations, "all of these smells hint at otherness or assimilation in ways that complement a colorist aesthetic that lends us and prompts us to lean closer to whiteness," citing "how we eat our chicken" and "the level of salt in our food" as examples.

Later, Abad claimed that "tanning" is "sexualized in a certain way," recounting that her students had discussed pop star Ariana Grande "performing in brownface in terms of her aesthetic, which she can as an Italian-American." 

Fox News Digital reached out to DePaul University for comment but did not hear back. 

Despite being a Catholic University named after Saint Vincent DePaul, the same channel has multiple videos promoting ideology that might surprise many Catholics. 

An alumni dubbed, "Noam ‘Nomi’ Ostrander (they/she)" hosted a video "Unruly QTs: Queer and Trans Intersections with Disability Justice & Madness," citing causes such as the abolition of prisons in America and featuring imagery of obese theatrical performers, one of whom is shown aloft above a pile of severed limbs.

The channel also shares an extensive video, "Astrology for beginners," bringing people into an entire field of mystical belief that is forbidden by Catholic teaching.
