Why Do Indians Love 'Fair' Skin? 

Even Rani Laxmi bai was dark skinned but fair skinned actor played her role ☹️

@@poojagaikwad2797 that’s because dark skinned actresses don’t exist. 🙄

@@shrutisharma4586 Actually I think quite a few actresses are dark skinned, but they just use makeup to try and look fair.

@@kdjoshi726 in Bollywood there are no dark skinned actresses anymore and the older ones are now bleached. I can’t say for regional cinema but I know in Tamil cinema they tried to pass off a white girl as a tamilian which is utterly stupid.

LoL 😂 exactly. Like one time I was seeing an add where a man was getting rejected in all of his interviews, so he asks his friend for an advice, so his stupid friend tells him to use fairness cream and after using that fairness cream he gets hired, like logic dekh rahe hoo... Banda reject ho raha hoga because usne interviews ache se nahi deye toh it was his friend's responsibility to atleast tell him ki you should focus on your interview more. Some stupid people will take it seriously and think that mehnat gayi bhad mein hum toh sirf fairness cream lagake ek company he khol denge.

Dear they only enjoy a lil tan. Any darker, they will show their racist side. Beware of that.

They only like somewhat tanned white skin . And even then it's an elite thing . A lot of middle class Americans are racist towards people with real dark skin (African Americans) .

Not really, brown skinned is celebrated in west. They prefer a lil tan on their pale skin, not exactly brown or it is something that is celebrated.

If these movies were released in America they would be cancelled , kind of hoping these were released there.

Well, acting is itself being somebody that u aren't. Makers wanted an actress with a huge fan base. And she did her role perfectly. Now hating her coz of her skin color is also racist 🤐

@@KDRAMAHOLIC364 No it is not. I didn’t hate on her for her skin colour. Please read my comment carefully. I said if they want a dark skinned Sri Lankan Tamil character, cast a dark skinned Tamil actress.

that's basically all there is to say on the matter.

@@vatsalasaxena4725 well it is very much linked with the color coded system of division of labour. 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. However due to Eurocentric beauty standards it is very accepted and "beautiful" now to have a light wheatish skin colour. Colorism is very intricately linked to social structures of caste and race that we still operate upon.

@@vatsalasaxena4725 Even before the Britishers the Hindu sect of Sanatan Dharma propagated the hate within the caste system. Just read about them 👍

@@vatsalasaxena4725 Then you should know about Sanatan Dharma spreading hate for the caste system 💀💀💀

When did Bollywood and social media come? Bollywood is like 80 years old and social media only 15. Dark skin hate goes way back than that. You can trace the roots to Mughal India. India has been invaded by light skinned groups that’s why Indian value light skin

But why would you want to get rid of a tan? Fairness creams are full of chemicals that can cause cancer. Is it worth the risk?

@@shrutisharma4586 tan actually makes skin color uneven coz some places have the real color and the other changes for the sun rays. There's nothing wrong to remove tan to bring out your real skin color but its wrong if u let your skin bleach to get fairer complexion which is not your own color

@@mimis.5139 I don’t understand this obsession with removing something your skin was designed to do literally to protect you. Admit it or not it does tie in to fear of becoming darker. I mean so what if it’s uneven. Hardly anyone has a universally even skin tone. We need to learn to love what we have rather than trying to strive for unattainable perfection.

Use sunscreen instead of those

@@shrutisharma4586 darker and tan is too different thing. First u can be born dark, those people should not be discriminated. 2nd the natural process u r talking about is the cause of ageing as well as skin cancer. U should check out NYAKIM GATWECH...she is called the QUEEN OF DARK even she dnt have uneven skin tone. She looks so Beautiful....tbh u dnt even need a fairness cream jst use a sunscreen that's enough to protect the skin. In India most people are not wheatish white in color. We have mostly brown skin, so whats so bad loving our own natural skin tone and wanting to protect it Believe it or not the people who tells other to be fair are prejudiced against dark skin but the people questioning whats so wrong to get dark when others want to preserve their natural tone is also prejudiced. If I want to tan I can naturally buy a tanning cream. Also not just fairness cream but tanning cream has a huge market too. Just change the ppl who thinks dark is dirty or white is no bloodcell snake... every color stands for the environment and geography

And you know her how? Prejudiced people

The white standard is for woman not men...dark skinned men are preferred over light skin

I was like that because from birth that's all I know. I was told I was useless because of my skin colour. Even from neighbours. But when I grew up. I learned to love it and told off people around me.

@@Sana-mb6ig I don't have anything against or even in favour of The Swaddle and other similar channels. I just convey my point of view being really truthful about it, thinking about it in its finest sense. I always go to the core of every mechanism. So, that's why you and many people see such comments which might seem offensive to some, and appreciated to others. Again, I really don't have anything against this channel or any other. I just want things to be represented in a purely authentic and genuine sense. These people might not have observed this, I am pointing out so more people would talk about this to this channel and others, so these channels will ACTUALLY reflect those same values and bring change.

@Impersonal Immigrant for a while I got confused... I see you're referencing my original comment in a different video. Yeah, she was sounding POWERFUL but her opinions and views were so pathetic. "Shut down girls in the confined spaces of home and celebrate women empowerment" is what it sounded to me.

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.

@@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.
