I know you all love Dot headed Indians But Please stop posting them.

They hate your black ass.

Fair = Lovely

After four months in India, one thing is clear to me: most Indians (at least Mumbaikers) are obsessed with skin color. Without further ado, ten observations on skin color in India:

1. A fair-skinned person is considered attractive regardless of whether that person has a symmetrical face or a healthy figure. I've noticed that certain people who would not be considered attractive in the United States are considered beautiful here because of their light skin. The flipside is that some who are considered unattractive because of darker skin would be considered attractive in countries outside of India. The equation is simple: in India, light skin equals beauty.

2. In India, you can insult a person by calling her "dark." I've heard these absurd insults several times. For example, an acquaintance was trying to insult another woman by saying, "She's really dark. You know, really dark. She hides it with her creams and she keeps herself light but she is actually really dark." Good one! Zing! You got her good!

3. I've asked Indians to tell me which Hollywood actors and actresses they consider most attractive. Instead of choosing thespians with brown complexions similar to most South Asians' complexions (e.g. Denzil Washington, Halle Berry, Salma Hayek, et al.), they invariably choose light-skinned actors like Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and Tom Cruise.

4. If one looks at the Bombay Times, Bollywood films, or Indian models, he will notice that the paragon of beauty is that of a light-skinned person with aquiline features. Indian movie stars do not resemble the men and women on the streets of Bombay or other Indian cities. India's movie stars look like light-skinned Iranians, Turks, or Spaniards who speak Hindi.

How many Indians have complexions like Preity Zinta or Hrithik Roshan? How many Indians have green eyes like Aishwarya Rai? Probably less than 0.5% of Indians.

5. The most common quip against Sonia Gandhi is that she is "foreign born and Italian." Yet Indians never criticize the fact that several Bollywood stars are foreign-born or half-Indian, half-white. For example, Yana Gupta, dancer in several Bollywood movies and model for Lakme Cosmetics, is from the Czech Republic. John Abraham, star of Dhoom, is half Iranian and half Malayali. And Katerina Kaif, featured in Sarkar, was born and raised in England and is half British, half Indian.

My point is not to imply that the aforementioned actors are unattractive (I think they are all attractive). My point is that these people are far lighter than the vast majority of Indians, and this says a lot about Indian standards of beauty.

6. Unilever, through its Indian affiliate Hindustan Lever, produces a "power brand" called "Fair and Lovely." Fair and Lovely, according to Unilever Malaysia (this product is sold not only in India but in 38 countries around the globe) is meant to, "unlock the secret of glowing fair skin... [and] unveil your natural radiant fairness in just 6 weeks." (See link). According to a 2003 article in Women's eNews, India's "fairness industry" accounts for 60% of skincare sales and brings in USD $140 million annually.

7. Many Indians go to great lengths to avoid getting tanned and to maintain the lightest skin color possible. They consciously avoid the sun because too much sun can ruin a "fair and lovely" face.

8. On shaadi.com, a website meant for Indians looking arranged marriages, members are supposed to describe their complexion. The choices (from lightest to darkest) range from, "Very Fair–Fair–Wheatish–Wheatish Medium–Wheatish Brown–Dark."

I could not find a single person, man or woman, who described his or herself as "dark." I found people who were very dark-skinned who described themselves as "wheatish brown" or "wheatish medium." (In case you were wondering, "wheatish" is an Indian term that means, well, "like the color of wheat.")

I challenge you to find someone who describes his or herself as "Dark."

9. White foreigners are treated better than African foreigners. I have a cousin who participated in a program run by AIESEC India. AIESEC runs an internship exchange program, sending Indians abroad and sending non-Indians here. My cousin told me that the interns come from all over the world, including Europe and Africa. She spoke with both the European and African students and the two groups reported completely different experiences. The African students said that they felt that they were discriminated against, while the Europeans reported that Indians fawned over them.

10. In India (like much of Latin America), light skin seems to confer a sense of entitlement. Because many Indians fawn over those with less melanin, lighter skinned people learn that it is normal to be stared at and to be deferred to.

First of all I deal with Paki's all the time. (Paki's refer to ppl from that region). Their racism towards any darker person is as string as any race and sometimes stronger. Those smelly fucks think they are white. (rolls eyes)

Not slaves, they were brought as " low wage workers for x amount of years ".
When the x amount of years were done, they had the option of going back or to stay.
Most stayed.

Why do they hate us? I mean we support them by purchasing they're over priced beer,Liquor, Lottery tickets, pork rinds and gas at the corner stores.

WTF is a "Oriental Asian". A Rug? A person is not a "ORIENTAL" persians make oriental rugs, afghans make oriental rugs. You mean East Asians? South East Asian aka Filipinos are the same way so fuck them too. I hate white people so yes,

 

[^SpiderMan^]

White people did that to em.many of the things you describe are in the Philippines,South America and Africa.I used to date an Indian chick that was black as hell.Her whole family was too.I never asked her about it and how she was treated back home but will soon.

See it's that shyt right there...that damn poision.....why are those stores in poor black hoods only? If they love the white man so much, open that shyt up in Beverly or the Hampton's.....they can't! white folks wont let them and because we do and suport that crap it helps them to be little blacks even more....they even assist in the leagal killing of ourselves by selling that shyt to us! Stupid as we are, we continue to support them......

If you people knew about "untouchables" this thread wouldnt be necessary


Many Indians are not racist and many are just like every other group in the world.

ALL ASIAN societies are stuck on complexion. Why single out Indians Doc? Chinese, Japanese and Koreans are the exact same way. Could it be you like the yella slant eyed ones more than the dark skinned Indians?

Most definitely true. This is one of the reasons why the majority of interracial marriages now days are between Asian women and white men (also black men and white women---but that's another topic for discussion )

I sent a YouTube video about Asian guys complaining or wondering why the majority of their women were dating white dudes to a few Asian women I knew at work (I was trying to be funny but at the same time asking a serious question). NO ONE RESPONDED TO THE VIDEO I SENT!!! I think a few of them were kind of pissed off at me and avoided me for awhile.

The Indian women from Trini are mad cool.

Ghandhi was a racist and a pediphile.

Gandhi thought black people were subhuman

By Yasser Latif Hamdani

Gandhi’s desire for Indians to be segregated from blacks was so strong that he went to Johannesburg in late August of 1904 to protest the placing of blacks in the Indian section of the city

LAHORE: Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1870-1948), the man who inspired great leaders like Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King, may have harboured racial sentiments against black people if an article on Sulekha.com is to be believed.

The article quotes a series of letters and petitions from Gandhi, linking the black people of Africa to savages and portraying them as little better than animals. Gandhi writes, “A general belief seems to prevail in the colony that the Indians are little better, if at all, than the savages or natives of Africa. Even the children are taught to believe in that manner, with the result that the Indian is being dragged down to the position of a raw ******”.

According to the article, part of Gandhi’s attitude stemmed from his belief in the Aryan Invasion Theory, claiming that the superior white race from the Steppes subjugated darker races all across Eurasia. Gandhi refused to accept classification with ‘aboriginal’ looking ‘savages’: “A reference to Hunter’s ‘Indian Empire’, chapters 3 and 4, would show at a glance who are aborigines and who are not. The matter is put so plainly that there can be no mistake about the distinction between the two. It will be seen at once from the book that the Indians in South Africa belong to the Indo-Germanic stock or, more properly speaking, the Aryan stock.”

He believed that White rule in South Africa – with the help of a reduction in Asiatic immigration was necessary for civilising the blacks with these characteristics: “We, therefore, have no hesitation in agreeing with the view that in the long run assisted Asiatic immigration - into the Transvaal would be disastrous to the white settlement. People will gradually accommodate themselves to relying upon Asiatic labour, and any White immigration of the special class required in the Transvaal on a large scale will be practically impossible. It would be equally unfair to the natives of the soil. It is all very well to say that they would not work, and that, if the Asiatics were introduced, that would be a stimulus to work; but human nature is the same everywhere, and once Asiatic labour is resorted to, there would not be a sustained effort to induce the natives to work under what would otherwise be, after all, gentle compulsion. There would be then less talk about taxing the natives and so forth. Natives themselves, used as they are to a very simple mode of life, will always be able to command enough wages to meet their wants; and the result will be putting back their progress for an indefinite length of time. We have used the words ‘gentle compulsion’ in the best sense of the term; we mean compulsion of the same kind that a parent exercises over children.”

Gandhi thus remained a firm believer in white settlement and rule in South Africa. More explicitly, he wrote that the White race deserved to be the dominant race in South Africa: “What the British Indians pray for is very little. They ask for no political power. They admit the British race should be the dominant race in South Africa. All they ask for is freedom for those that are now settled and those that may be allowed to come in future to trade, to move about, and to hold landed property without any hindrance save the ordinary legal requirements.”

Along with the dominance of the white race in South Africa, Gandhi also held dear the idea of racial purity: “We believe as much in the purity of race as we think they do, only we believe that they would best serve these interests, which are as dear to us as to them, by advocating the purity of all races, and not one alone. We believe also that the white race of South Africa should be the predominating race.”

Commenting on a petition opposing interactions between the whites and the coloureds, Gandhi wrote: “The petition dwells upon ‘the co-mingling of the coloured and white races’. May we inform the members of the conference that, so far as the British Indians are concerned, such a thing is practically unknown? If there is one thing, which the Indian cherishes, more than any other, it is the purity of type. Why bring such a question into the controversy at all?”

Gandhi’s desire for the Indians to be segregated from the blacks was so strong that he went to Johannesburg in late August of 1904 to protest the placing of blacks in the Indian section of the city: “Why, of all places in Johannesburg, the Indian Location should be chosen for dumping down all the Kaffirs of the town passes my comprehension. ...Of course, under my suggestion, The Town Council must withdraw the Kaffirs from the Location. About this mixing of Kaffirs with the Indians, I must confess I feel most strongly.”

It is unclear from the article whether Gandhi later changed his position. However, it does shed some light on the ideas that shaped the mind of one of the most successful political leaders of the 20th century. *

Here is the source. I see why white folk love that man.

Not saying that this is not true but this is written by the Pakistanis, listening to what they have to say about Gandhi is like listening to Klansmen's opinion of King....

co-sign x 1000000.

these musty, stank mufuckas are the most racist people in the world. seriously.

they HATE dark.
they LOVE light.

the white man has TOTALLY fucked-up their heads-making them think white is not only right, but it's the truth.

i'm an engineering manager that has trained at least 12-15 engineers over the years. we recently transferred an indian guy into our group for some cross-training and exposure to deepwater operations.

when he saw that i would be his mentor, he LOUDLY PROTESTED to the VP of engineering... saying that he didn't want to be trained by me but by one of the junior engineers who happened to be white.

the VP asked, "and what is your problem?" his reply... "i can't learn anything from THAT guy because i don't like him." the VP said, "he's trained most of the people here and you're here to do a job not like people. either stay in the new training program or find another job."

he quit the next day.

Mr. Max-Dawg,
That cat has some major, major ignorance issues he has got to address if he is going to work in this country, and major, major balls. I assume (correct me if I'm wrong) that when you speak of deepwater operations, you are speaking of something related to deep oil exploration in the fuel oil industry. Those type of engineering gigs pay a good bit more than $5/hour - much more than the civil/geotechs stand to clock that's fo' sho'. For that cat to give that type of $$$$ up over $h!t like that, is bordering on self destruction - or he already had a business on the side and had planned to leave - or he (or his family) was already independently wealthy. I'm glad the VP of Engineering had some sense and supported you in this matter. Just what would that joker have done if the VP of Engineering had mad flava' as well - collapsed on the spot? I hope when he turned in his resignation, security escorted his wack @$$ off of the premises without even lettin' him clear his $h!t !!!! By the way, ya'll still trying to fill his spot? (Just kiddin')

Peace,

MDH1

[BigDaddyBuk]

i don't know about y'all, but i think dark skin is in in the U.S.

dark skinned male actors CERTAINLY are in style, so much so that light skinned brothers have said that they'll be back.

having said that, people claim that dark Black skin isn't attractive, but all you see in Jamaica and Salvador Brasil are europeans clambering to get at jet-black Black ass.
