Question:

Why is light skinned so misused?

Light skinned people are just African-Americans with light brown skin tones (May come from having more non-black blood, genetics).Barack Obama is not light skinned, he is biracial, along with Halle Berry, Alicia Keys. That is why their skin tone OFTEN times looks high yellow.Light skinned (Light brown skinned) people are like Jay Z, Charles Barkley, and Ciara.

Answer:

light skin means anyone with light skin relative to the normal skin tone of that race not necessarily light skin blacks
I know biracial people that brown skinned. What would you call them?
Jay Z isnt light skin. Lol. Then I'm white.
Why do people call Ciara light skinned? She looks medium brown skinned to me. So does Jay Z.
Actually, light-skinned (in terms of African Americans) refers to any person of Black descent (whether full, half, etc) with a light brown complexion. So I would include biracial/mixed people in that category. If you don't consider biracials light-skinned, then what do you consider them skin color wise? Besides, many light-skinned people are biracial.... And I definetly wouldn't consider Ciara or Jay-Z light-skinned, they'd be medium.
