I do think there is actual colorism paranoia that psychologists need to study, but they are also socially rewarded when they make "I was victimized for being brown" claims. It's seen as morally upstanding to oppose colorism, and they want those social rewards.
It's like an infinite slot machine for likes with the wokes, but demand for situations to complain about exceeds the actual number of racist incidents, so they invent them now.
Koreans are a favorite target because many progressives are extremely Orientalist out of sheer ignorance and excessive moral self-congratulation that they are unaware of how racist their takes are, so they can often be counted on to like anti-Korea content.
Look at how many of them assumed we'd been colonized by Caucasians, assumed we had to bleach our skin, assumed we had a history of oppressing dark-skin people. None of those things were true, but their own Orientalism prevented them from even feeling skeptical because those are the Racist Asian Stereotypes They Oppose.
Opposing racists they made up in their heads is a popular way of meeting the demand for outrage at racism.
It's mostly English-speakers. They've adopted woke politics because it previously signaled education in America and Europe, and with that, sophistication and class, but due to how the class signal treadmill is constantly moving forward, it soon will only be associated with the lower class.
