Racism is concerned with perceived ethnic or racial heritage. Colorism is just about the color of a person. For instance in parts of Asia such as India or Viet Nam. There could be two 100% Viet people, both people would say they are the same race, but the darker skinned person would be seen as less attractive, less wealthy, and probably less educated. The prejudice has nothing to do with race, only color or complexion.
