The worst part is how these bollywood actors who some people actually admire support these kind of things instead of taking some serious action against them like how can they not see how traumatizing can it be for those beautiful girls who get insecure and feel ugly being dark skinned i've faced so many comments about my features being attractive and that i can use this and that and fix my skin tone and the worse part is that your own family and relatives are the one bashing you

Years of colonialism has led to this, Caribbean's and Africans can identify from Imperialist rule. It's sad because, people find bleaching as a solution, when in hindsight it is the problem. It's like staying you "won't" have any problems after bleaching. I've seen bleaching creams in markets ( btw I'm Ghanaian)

Dark people wanna lighter skin, Light people wanna be dark, the curly haired want straight and the straight haired want curls. It's horrible. We just 'll need to realize there isn't just one way to be beautiful and accept ourselves.

I hope people realize that this video focuses solely on the North Indian perspective, For thousands of years dark skin in the south was seen as beautiful and an indicator of fertility and women hood. It wasn't until the final conquering of the South by the Portuguese and Brits that the colonizer mindset to love white skin over their own was introduced and heavily reinforced. Even now however the skin lightening obsession is far more a northern problem then in the south where the sales of skin lightening cream for men and women are nowhere near as high as in the North. This has to do with the fact southerners weren't as exposed to Conquerors like the Mughals or Persians so they never had an inferiority complex like Northerners had toward light skin which was heavily reinforced during colonialism

Colorism and racism are two different things. If an Indian woman prefers a white skin, that doesn't means she hates her own people, it just mean she holds fair skin in higher esteem. In the past light skinned people were usually the better off people because those haven't had to work in hard menial jobs like working on fields - so culturally they were conditioned to 'like' light skin.

Well it all because of one simple reason. People with high paying jobs don't have to go out in the sun much, thus they have fair skin. Because of this fair skin is usually associated with wealth and is valued more. Wealth means high status (in ancient times ruler, in modern times billionare) and people dream about it.

I really hope this mentality shifts in India!

I can’t be in the sun more than 15 mins without getting a massive sunburn, I have to cover up and wear sunscreen EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Fair skin wrinkles more quickly, acne/imperfections are far more evident on fair skin, and rates of skin cancer are higher in those who have more fair/ sun burn prone skin.

@HausOfCortez The effects of slavery are felt throughout the entire world. Of course there are other factors though. Rihanna is lying, I can tell you that much. Light skin is a huge thing in the Caribbean. There is a bleaching epidemic there. Sure people will day things about your skin color no matter where you are and no matter what your complexion but for her to say that she was picked on is a stretch. Furthermore, Rihanna was never, ever very light skinned. She is the complexion she is now, due to excessive bleaching. Watch her past videos and interviews and you will see the huge difference in her skin color. Skin bleaching is a pandemic phenomenon. The only thing that can change the global perception of a person's worth being tied to their skin color is if we " emancipate ourselves from mental slavery.

Literally the meaning of 'Krishna' is black in Sanskrit. On the other hand Raavana is fair skinned.

Great video. Very informative. My daughter asked me why people in India were so obsessed with fair skin. This video answered her question. I told her that all the colours are beautiful and we are blessed if we have healthy skin. This is the message we need to pass on to our children given that the whole idea of fair skin being the best is so deeply entrenched in our society.

Same when I was in my teenage years especially 14, I was told by a classmate of mine that aren't you a bit dark among the group of ap called"friends" we had, even my chachi always used to indirectly point out how it is important to be pale for an attractive face and these ads didn't help at all. I remember how I bought that fair and lovely laser light treatment cream the one that yami gautam promotes lmao and applied it on my face before going to school I was so fucking conscious of my skin tone at that point I cried often that I would not be liked by anyone lmao now I do not give a fuck about it. Who tf even cares about shit like this. Appearance can only be the first impression on ppland can attract ppl. What makes them stay is the person inside.

Am happy being dusky. and no one from my family or friends circle has ever discriminated anyone based on skin colour. Sadly my friends have faced racial discrimination even among their own familt and friends. One of my friends is dusky and a brahmin too. Her own family discriminates her. She was worried about it. Am happy about my skin colour. Am happy about the real me. I dont wanna lighten it. I'm unique and beautiful my own way. The person reading this remember what telling now. I'm proud of being the real unfiltered me. You all be proud of ur skin colour and think that u only have that unique skin type in the whole world. *"U R UNIQUE. U R BEAUTIFUL. BROWN OR WHITE U R PRETTY THE WAY U R. DONT LET ANYONE STEAL UR BEAUTY IN HEART"* . Being brown skinned is a fortunate thing. The westerners are tryna get brown skin. Be proud brown girls. We are blessed with melanin. When v age v dont get wrinkles and skin disease more when compared with white tone skinned ppl. They r having melanin disorder tbh

I'm mexican american with a light skinned mom and dark skinned dad. My skin color is just right in between light and dark skin. In the summertime, I tan so easily and in the wintertime my skin turns lighter. Darker skin people actually are blessed because the melanin in your skin protects your skin from the harsh sun rays that can damage your skin. So, that means that darker skin doesn't wrinkle that easily. Whereas, the lighter your skin color, the more wrinkles you will get if you don't protect your skin from the sun.

That's absolutely a true fact ! Melanin is a very important pigment for us.. and bcoz of different geography... humans evolved with their respective colour ! Western areas are cold and need more sunlight absorption hence they hv less melanin (as it reflects sunlight). While in tropical region like India we hv moderate temperature and hence all types of skin tone! And I don't think that this biological process has anything to do with an adjective called *"Beautiful"* !
