In reply to Vikram. The color fetish isn't just Indian. It seems to be a consistent preference across cultures. Women of many races are the most sexually picky against dark skin, the brown women try and project their guilt onto others.

What’s the difference between not finding dark people physically attractive and not finding someone attractive for any other reason? For example not finding someone attractive due to their gender, height, facial structure, eye color, etc.

Don’t get me wrong, I am against treating people unfairly based on their skin color when it comes to things like job opportunities, I just don’t understand the inconsistency here. When I see men complain about women not finding them attractive they are not treated with any sympathy, especially by south asian women in the west.

Shift from arranged marriages to normal ones will fix the color bias in great measure. When people arent allowed to choose their partners through normal interactions, which bring out deeper personality traits and interests, then skin color, income, family name are the only features left to choose partners.

Simple fact is that 95% of Indians are dark skinned, and once the psychological effect of foreign domination wears off so will the color fetish.

If there is something which unites India is its festiziation with white skin (host of punjabi actress in the South). I would say India in coming years will be more hospitable to Oriental feature, but never to people of dark skin tone.

Great post. The statements on the video screen said, people think if you are fair skinned you are instantly more beautiful and from a better background. It is also common to believe that one who is fair is also more intelligent. Don’t know why. America has overcome its color hang up by pursuing the slogan, black is beautiful. India can do the same with dark is beautiful campaign. Cheers.
