Why Do Indians Love 'Fair' Skin?

[@seaweedbrain3892]

The same people who believe dark skin isn’t beautiful glorify the beauty of Shri Krishna and Draupadi, but they don’t realise that Shri Krishna and Draupadi are dark skinned yet beautiful. Even in the Mahabharat TV serial, they’re played by fair skinned actors just because Indians prefer fair skin. I think this is really racist.

Lower castes did manual labour that means more hours under the sun and melanin soaking all that vitamin D giving u a brown skin tone. Upper castes and Brahmins stayed indoors and fed flowers to stone god's barring them from hard labour. Colourism is prevalent even in other Asian countries where there was stratifications of labour according to the clan or family you were born in. Philipines, Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand barred girls or women to work outside if they belonged to a rich family and at that time you were either a rice farmer or royalty to not work. So, these people got lighter skin. Even in the US House slaves had a light Brown skin shade as they work d indoors. Sometimes their white rulers raped em and their offsprings had a mixed light brownish skin tone thag people hated upon.

If that is to happen, we are giving way to equality of outcome. That's stupid. Maybe just maybe, the skilled people they needed in their team happened to be fair or not dark.

[@meettheartist5506]

@@chaitanyagupta6668 that's a possibility. Don't worry. I thought of that exactly right after the moment I posted this comment. Hiring people on basis of colour might not be this channel's or any other channel's criteria, but why we aren't seeing such people is my concern. Also, when characters in movies or shows are of dark complexion, fair complexion people are hired who are already a part of entertainment industry. Examples - Bhumi Pednekar's character in movie "Bala", and Samantha Akkineni's character in web series "The Family Man Season 2". I do believe that going through an actual process of reviewing dark complexion people on the basis of their skills must be done for such projects. The demand for character is being fulfilled "visually" for creators, but the people (or artists) will be hired for their talents and skills. In that similar way, a deliberate attempt can be done by these people and other channels, i.e., posting for requirements of people with dark complexion representing their whole channel (and not just racial topics). If creators of this channel, movies, and shows acknowledge this as a normal thing and send out notice/post mentioning different characters' requirements, it will be a good thing. Suppose if I'm a filmmaker and I'm making a movie. My characters list says there's a fair complexion girl for the role of supporting character, but there's also a dark complexion girl's character for (let's say) the same fair complexion girl's sister or friend. There you have it! Making a deliberate attempt while creating a new mindset among people conveying that "yes, girl with dark complexion is a part of our movie's story and she has a significant contribution in leading the movie's story." There has been number and number of auditions for different projects but you'll hardly see any dark complexion girl (boys are still somewhat accepted being dark) in that project's audition. This should be reformed now. This will bring a new change which has practical outcomes in our real world. What you're seeing here on this channel and other channels is "equality of outcome" in its very own way. When these people talk about it, being a true icon for what they're saying, don't you think it's positively impacting you, and especially those who believe in what is being conveyed? Or a better example is when you see an inspiring celebrity or a personality who is true idol for you who is supporting equality. I'm taking a random example of "Sushmita Sen"... She has put efforts into her, her life and hence you're able to feel inspired for the change and growth. I will agree that neither Sushmita Sen nor any other such celebrities are putting efforts just to see change, in a realistic way, but think about the "outcome" of their "action/efforts". How are you supposed to change the mindset of millions of individuals, including those who are a victim of it (here, dark complexion people) without actually letting everyone of these people (people mocking and people being mocked) know that what reality they think doesn't exist, do exist, and we (this channel or whoever's doing this deliberate attempt) are the representatives of this reality. Long comment but I hope I made sense.

I know I’m going to get a lot of hate for saying this, when I turned 19 I finally decided to get my skin bleached because when I was young I used to get a lot of comments from relatives saying that “how are you the only one that’s dark” it used to hurt me soo much but what made it worse was when my cousin’s friend saw me with my dad (who is fair) and said “omg is that his child she’s soo darker skinned is she really his” . I never felt soo insecure I was like 10 when I heard this, after that I felt soo insecure to go out with my dad anywhere I used to walk far ahead of him or behind to make it look like we were not related, the taunts got worse in my teenage. I know everyone says love your skin it’s beautiful and all but I couldn’t even if I tried to, I knew there was a solution so I used it because instead of living a lie that I’m happy with my skin tone it was better to change it atleast the humiliation would stop.

If you've watched animated versions of Ramayana or Mahabharata, or even read animated book versions of those, you'll always see that the rakshasas(demons/menaces/evils) are always portrayed to have darker skin and the gods, fair skinned. It starts early. Even in cartoon series like chota bheem... You're teaching that to kids who later become adults and have broken images of themselves. And little kids who are fair skinned are the ones who end up associating colours with kids they meet in schools. Apart from that, if you've observed a hindu god Lord Krishna was supposed to be dark, but no, he is portrayed to have BLUE skin. Even Lord Shiva is portrayed BLUE. Cause god forbid you have dark skin, what a sin... because you can be anything except dark skinned. We'll have alien looking Blue skin!!! It's much better than dark skin.. fuck all society.

Thankfully lots of tamils girls who are brown and considered dusky dont live in india finally got away thank heavens as we dont gotta face this level of discrimination if we live away from people with this mentality that if you fair skinned, got a sharp nose and got pink glow pink lips you automatically get everything. In the west they like dark skin as long as its an even skintone. Everyone is aiming for even skintone. light skin people trying to lessen wrinkles and darker people trying lessen dark circles/pigmentation. And if your face is somewhat symmetical you will be ok. Here they put more emphasis on an even skintone, being a healthy weight, going for laser hair removal, growing long hair, ensuring the skin is healthy and body is also healthy. That you got hair removal less body hair through laser. Skin color does not have anything do with class lots of people here are very dark they have got plenty of money they are very successful. Being non-white is challenging sometimes. you got to work hard (cant be lazy some goras can be) but honestly there are laws etc heres so even if there is favouritism perks trinkets (yes they give non-whites who look more white/white people some what more) it is not that bad. No one cares this much sooo much about skin color. I wish more of my dusky girls move to the west and get the chance to get aways. Once you here and go for therapy you will heal lot Colorism is social engineering and conditioning. Its conditioning and conquered way of thinking. There seems be lack of education on skin color. All skintones are attractive. White light skin less prone to pigmentation dark circles but ages faster. Dark skin prone pigmentation and dark circles but ages slower. I understand this mindset isnt going go away in india as status driven though therapy (through councellor/therapist/psychologist), healing and education is the way wishing more scientists dermatologists in india talking about this. So many people around me are dark black dark brown got even skintone shines like velvet nothing wrong. Guy im seeing now is dark brown middle east guy nothings wrong with dark skin.

It's unfortunate that some people feel the need to hide their natural skin color with makeup due to societal pressures or personal insecurities. However, it's important to remember that every skin tone is beautiful and should be celebrated. Embracing and loving your natural skin color is an important step towards building self-confidence and promoting diversity. It's crucial to recognize that beauty comes in all shades, and it's important to value and appreciate the uniqueness of every individual. It's time to break free from the societal norms and embrace your true self with pride and confidence.

I am a fair girl and never have i ever thought of me being prettier than my dark skinned friends. I think your features decide that you are beautiful or not. Like I'm fair skinned but i don't have any good features whereas my dusky friends have big eyes, fluffy eyelashes, thin nose, perfect lips, voluminous hair and perfect figure, and they all look so pretty! But yes due to this notion "fair=pretty" they often feel less pretty than me
