Indian women →[More:]
This is kind of what made me make the post yesterday. The girl to my right, and the one in the background used to sit with me at my last job. They were both very smart and really attractive, at least I thought so, but both of them didn't like there skin colour at all (or to some degree). When I told them they were crazy for thinking that because I have friends on the other side of the world who would do anything to have skin as beautiful as yours they couldn't believe it. They thought you all were out of your minds. Now, I'm not sure how many of you would actually prefer tanned skins but Westerners generally appear to like to get tans and not be all white all the time, which is just the opposite of the culture that we have over here.
I went to pick up my sister at her college after her exam after a long, long while yesterday, and I had totally forgotten about the extent to which these girls go to keep themselves fair. You must've heard of all the
fairness creams that are being sold here, but in addition to that, these college going girls wear stuff like FULL LENGTH JEANS JACKETS in the hot sun so that their arms don't get tanned, HIDE THEIR ENTIRE FACES IN SCARVES, and sometimes even wear gloves. It's ridiculous, but there you go.
And society in general is no help at all: pick up any Matrimonial section of any paper, go to the Brides Wanted Section--and what do you see: Bride wanted--Fair, yadayadayada, yadayadayada. But, she should be FAIR. Never mind if the want-to-be Bridegroom might not be that fair-skinned himself, but he wants his woman to be all that.
