A Black Woman Wrote A Letter About The Racism She’s Faced For Being A Bollywood Fan

[SrNair]

Okay deal.
But you're right next to Tamil Nadu and you guys are fair skinned compared to the Tamils and a lot of difference in facial features.

May be but Tamils are better than us in hardwork and even brilliant than us .

Like what guy? why deny that u guys are dark like the africans. Get more Fair & Lovely if you're so sensitive and upset and being dark? <===lmao

Like that impossibru guy
Mr impossibru .
I am dark and I am proud about that .

 

[faithfulguy]

We are much more fairer than Africans. Get a life you fool.

Certain Indians are just as dark as Africans. Why been offended by being compared with African? Are you that racist?everyone should be judged by the content of their character, not the color of their skin.

Yes, they are more industrialized. Kerala is a good place for tourism. I just love God's Own Country.
When I was in kerala, I asked someone about the tag, "God's Own Country". She went back to the days of the Gods and I couldn't follow her after that.
I had been to lulu mall and had burgers from Burger King.

Its not just about skin color. Japanese and Chinese have the same skin colour, yet you know how the Chinese were treated by the Japanese.

ok, so what is it then? why the hate?

You visited just Cochin? or any other places?

There are certain Africans that are lighter than Indians, and the converse as well. saying Africans and Indians have similar skin color is reasonable. but there are certain features that differentiate Indians and Africans, and it's not by skin tone. Genetically speaking the spectrum skin pigmentation between Africans and Indians is very similar.

I have been to Cochin and to some backwaters but don't really recall the place. Been to to couple of beaches but I don't remember the names. From Cochin we headed south to KanyaKumari.

But Indians get offended when you make your statement. I wonder why?

Because 'some' not all aspire to look like Europeans, there are many theories and debate as to what causes that however none of them have much scientific weight.

 

[ohmrlobalobayeh]

exactly, i merely pointed out the facts based on information given

1)Women complained of being discriminated based on her ethnicity and skin colour <=== fact(based on information given in the article)
2) Indians and Africans have more or less- the same skin colour <== fact
3)i merely asked why the hate since Africans and Indians have more or less the same skin colour <== backtrack and see yourself.

But people like Roybot and Srnair started showing signs of sensitiveness at the mentioning of Indian skin colour

lol

Kanyakumari means you crossed into TN But it is still very Kerala influenced part.

Kerala is very pretty place for sure.

 

[duhastmish]

In island around africa most indian and lanakan get disolved in africans.
I can say for certainly that its sometime very difficult to find out who is african and who is indian.
But india has racism and diffrences embabded inside psychology.
So its common phenomenon here. Must stop.

Wanted to add this footnote. Indians in the South are more educated and civilized than the North. Judging from my experience. I would live in the south (kerala) but never in the north (Delhi). My experience in Delhi was a bitter one.
There was this incident when I confronted a man who spat on the floor next to me and it happened to splash on my feet. Heated argument followed and the they ganged (6 to 7 people) up on me justifying they were right? Right? How? Things were getting out of hand when a police intervened and told me to leave. Fortunately, my wife flagged down a cab and we left.

LOL, it is about skin color. Within India, you guys are racist to one another. Miss America Indian-origin who's well educated and bright, was still deemed as unfitting because she is too dark. It's all in the news.

 

[ohmrlobalobayeh]

proclaimed that's what Indians look like.

Atually, i do believe men from punjab area do look like that- except that the rest of Hindustanis look more like Sub-saharan Africans
