Why India's Fair Skin Business Is Booming

Watch Next: Italy's feared Mafia has moved into a new area, and it's worth billions of dollars. A VICE News Tonight investigation has found the group's tentacles are deep into Italy's food production, from field to fork.

True. I've experienced this in another way. My mom is very fair skinned despite being brown, like she's almost pale.. and I also inherited that, but not as pale. People would always tell me I look like my mom, that I was beautiful, pretty, etc. Personally, I don't look like her at all, I look more like my father if anything. But when my sister was born (different father), she was born dark skinned.. I was around 8 or 9, so I remember how people kept talking about how dark skinned she was. Whenever we were at relatives or gatherings, people would always make that comparison, they would say I looked like my mom and then for my sister they would talk about her skin. Nobody has ever said that my sister looked like anyone in our family. But my mom legitimately looked exactly like her when she was young. So.. why? And I realized because were being prejudiced and discriminatory, just because of her skin color despite being family/relatives. It's messed up and sad.

As a fully the blackest guy on the planet (as seen on my profile pic), i feel like people lack information about these differences in skin tone, dark skin is gifted to people mainly rich in Vitamin D which protects us from most dangerous sun's rays, it's a gift. I have done many trips around our continent and I've seen who different in dark skin tones we are. In cantral Africa and India, the more you approach the so-called Equator line, the more people are darker. It shows exactly why we have such a gift, but I always hate or sometime wonder why do people not embrace these differences as a matter of fact a kinda force of self-defense towards place, adaptation rooted from evolution of humankind.

You can compare how much more youthful very dark skinned people appear to very fair people when they reach middle age and older, and in the US where people live in the same area the difference is very apparent. *No skin color is better than another*, but if people developed a preference it would be more logical for it to be darker skin since we would look youthful for longer.

This word "fair" as its being used today has been redefined as meaning light,(as opposed to dark), As in the term, fair skin, as in, "she is a fair skin person". When someone says this what they are trying to say, (according to the current redefinition of the word fair) is that the person has a light complexion. This is a absolute redefinition of the word "fair". This word "fair" never meant to have light complexion or light hair. Never once in any literature dating 100-150 years before now,(including the bible) is the word "fair" used as a description in regard regard to color. This redefinition in and of itself has deep implications and strong undertones of racism. To imply by redefinition that something or someone is fair because they are of a lighter complexion is subliminally degrading those of darker complexion. That's to say those of darker complexions are unfair and ugly. In India, this is being done as a prolonged form of colonial racism just as it is in Africa and Latin countries where "white",(actually various shades of red) people have colonized the people, land and culture. WAKE UP PEOPLE ....

[@henri9109]

​@@guestspinelli2435 I don't think the word fair and the subliminal meaning it may carry is the reason for Indian beauty standard being lighter skinned. In my opinion it has to do with the geography of the nation. In many Asian countries pale skin is seen as more beautiful because poor people have to work outside for living, which leads to unavoidable skin tanning. The correlation being that if you have light skin, it means you have enough wealth that you don't need to work in the rice fields. Wealth is the real beauty standard here. Same reason people buy expensive brand clothing. I come from Finland, and we have a lot of white people here. Over here the beauty standard is to be more tanned. Because it shows that you have enough wealth to travel abroad to some warmer nation with sun shine. You get a nice tan while in that country, and then come home to your pale ass homeboys who get jealous just imagining the warm weather conditions you came from when they see your tan.

[@YHWHisEternal]

where does your sense of worth come from? thats a good question to ask yourself, so that you can learn to love yourself. When you learn how precious you are, not only in regards to appearance but your character, no one can be you... even someone who has the same parents with the same upbringing can never be the same. You are alone and God made you that way, well knowing what He was doing. he didn't make you and go like "oops!" he knew you before you were born and loved you. "Before I formed you in the belly I knew you, and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you" It's not easy to ignore the beauty standard. not just that even intelligence or prestigious jobs and money and class. But the knowledge that I am known and loved by someone so great lifts my head high. There is a reason He made you, in your family, no matter what it looks like, in your nation, no matter where, and with your face and skin and height and voice and hair. It's never to early to find out what that purpose is. "Come to me all who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am humble and gentle, and you shall find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." - Jesus

She used to be called 'kalu kaputa' (black crow) and was told she should wash her face more often to wash off the 'blackness'. She was very easy-going and took the jeering well but I could see that it really hurt her. I never joined in the jokes but I wish I'd stood up for her back then. The same teacher used to call me pretty just because of my light skin tone despite my friend being objectively waaaay prettier than me. These beauty standards are infuriatingly toxic.

The married couple KNOWS THE RISK AND POSSIBILITY of having a dark child based on their family skin color background thus, WHY CONCEIVE in such society? WHY RISK having a DARK CHILD in such society and be dissatisfied? WHY BRING TO SUCH SOCIETY A HUMAN BEING that will suffer the consequences of the parents GENETIC MATERIAL? I find it very unfair for the person who is born in such society; they are dark skin due to the parents DNA yet they pay the consequences of an unfair society due to the PARENTS CHOICE TO REPRODUCE WITH COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR THAT HUMAN THAT WILL CARRY THE BURDEN OF THEIR PARENTS DNA.
