This is a question I vision to ask to African people , why I feel inferior when I m in between light skinned people ?

Neither they are white ( i . е . еurоpean ) , not I m black ( i . е . аfriсan ) . I had became dark due to much sun over the years but in childhood I was fair . But they are asian people whose skin is white in sun , I live in between them , while I feel some inferior . Do you think I m stupid , or is it bad of me to think mуsеIf infеriоr .

Yes that's bad
When I was a kid I wanted to have a fair skin tone
But over the years I've learned to embrace and love my complexion

( I answered since I'm North African )

I don’t believe that you’re inferior because of the color of your skin or what religion you believe in. I think the world of social media,internet and politics (especially right now), can influence and convince people that they are something or not something

If anything you are superior as you have protection from the sun that I do not have. My heritage is northern Europeans. If I get out in the sun I burn.

You have simply bought into the costant media messaging over the years that if it aint white it aint right.

I'm confused. Are you Asian also? Are you the same ethnicity as the people that you feel inferior around?
Why you personally feel inferior due to skin color is very personal and often cultural.
If you lived in a place where everyone looked like you then you would just be normal.
Either way you should not feel negatively about your skin color. That is wrong and will affect your life.
