In Asia, tanned skin is associated with labouring, outdoors in the fields. In the West, tanned skin is associated with exotic holidays and leisure activities
@Dean Not at all. Chinese and Japanese have long applied face whiteners, long before the advent of Europeans. In fact it started the fashion in 16th century Europe for chalk face powdering and wigs amongst nobles.
Is Math related to science? It’s not like we’re blaming her, but the system. She was growing up hearing that fair = beautiful, so she automatically says thank you like if she was called pretty. People still have to realise the amount of privilege they have, people in power can bring the most of change.
The actress said "Thank you" at 5:40 when the reporter called her "very fair". It verifies how fair skin is considered better or that being fair is something to be proud of. Colorism is prevalent in Indian society and it's gonna take a long time to change people's mindset.
Not only that, be she denies profoundly that actors use skin lighting creams acting super surprised saying that is not true. She wants people to believe they are naturally that fair, but then the guy comments that they get their makeup done to look fairer, totally contradicting what she said. At least he was being honest..
Exactly what I wanted to point out. It's so deep in everyone's minds that it won't go out any time soon from Indians' minds. Thankfully, exposure to western world where Europeans complimented my dark skin made me get rid of skin complexions.
I was born dark, so everybody accused my mother for eating the wrong things when she was pregnant. Imagine hearing this when youre like just a toddler.
I can relate to this, even now when I'm 18 years-old my mother-side family sometimes still make fun of my skin tone, even though I take after my dad. This shit destroyed my self-confidence man.
I'm so sorry you both had to go through that😢 that is just awful and ignorant, no one NO ONE should ever be made to feel bad or worthless about their skin color. All skin colours are absolutely beautiful ,I feel sorry for anyone who believes otherwise.
Razib Shahrier no, in India it’s much worse, there are adds that are literally saying being white is better, like no one thinks pale skin is cute in US so many Indians hate themselves
@@RazibShahrier if that were the case black fishing and tanning would never have been popular. While people do tend to act that white skin is prettier dark skin is becoming more well recieved (if we aren't counting nasty racist)
12:37 I felt bad for that girl. She was close to tears. I hope someone gave a hug to her after that and told her the truth. She's a beautiful strong woman and deserves everything the world has to offer

K 9 It’s going to take generations to dismantle this mess of self-hatred. It’s a shame that they have allowed others to tell them what is beautiful in their culture, and in their country
My Vietnamese mother is obsessed about keeping her skin fair. She wears hats and masks and covers her face with an object if she is caught without protection. This bias and business is booming in east and Southeast Asia as well. This is kind of like the beauty and desirability trend you see in having a golden sun-kissed tan here in America, except the opposite!
Noone looks down upon fair skinned people in USA, they dont have ads telling you that you are less if you are fair, noone says '' thank you '' if you tell them their skin is dark lol
@@heavyhitter9186 Indian people's obsession for fair skin isnt because of British. It existed even before then. British white and Indian 'fair' skinned are very different categories. Our Indian society is just openly racist (to their own people) and full of self hate.
@@AdityaDeo-cg6eu I've lived in both east and west. If we werent obssessed with being fair so much, stupid products like fair and lovely wouldnt have been successful. If you are comfortable with your skin, its really amazing but I've been mocked about being a brown person a lot of times. There are literally phrases in India which keep fair as a beauty standard. Our culture is unfortunately systemically racist. Many people have just accepted it.
You guys are just jealous of their creative acting. Call me biased but even Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro would cry ab..... Okay, I can't go more further with the sarcasm. lol
There are all types of skin colors in india. Indian people range from the darkest dark to brown which is the majority and to the extremities some look as white Caucasian types. So there's no need to say they are using any product for it, which btw is a scam.
@@inspirex1831 they definitely are. During the colonization period thats where most white ppl were and i guess the racism/colorism is still prevalent today despite Whites no longer ruling there.
I dated a punjabi girl once. She was was fair-skinned. I have fair skin and I consider myself black. She once said that I'm not like the other black guys and she really liked my skin tone. She was afraid to get darker and made a huge deal about not allowing sunlight to touch her skin. She got a lot of attention; hundreds of likes on facebook posts, guys etc. but she had all the insecurities. Not matter what I did. That East indian culture is no joke. It creates tensions for both Men and female on what is perceived as ideal and attractive. It's sad that a lot of people let this skin whitening get to their heads to the point where they end up treat other people like dirt. I'm with a beautiful dark-skinned woman now. My life has never been better.
Interviewer to the girl: "I think you're very fair" girl: "THANK YOU SO MUCH" that answer literally proved the whole point of the research/documentary.
Definitely, I feel bad for those girls . Because here in America I never worried or cared but you turn on tv here and their are all kinds of shades , and my friend is korean and lives in Korea and I asked her about this and she was like oh no lol 😂 let me explain and it’s crazy that they don’t have different kinds of people of all shades in their shows or music. It’s sad because I believe in diversity and love it . Nobody should have to bleach their skin to become beautiful or feel like they have to or have it be the norm . I don’t get offended because I don’t live how they live and have never worried about something like this but it makes me sad 😞 for them .
Well there's many bodily functions we don't anymore for most people in modern developed life... Toenails, body hair etc. a digestive system that tries to absorb everything u eat even tho we throw some much excessive carbs and additives in our junk food crappy diets. It's like having a brand top of the line computer that works amazingly what's its built for at the time. Then fast forward 30 years that computer is obselete. It can still run basic things... Like Manual labor albeit runs slow or in a different roll as before. making children, sleeping etc. But the whole the entire society and environment has changed, different outlets,different software games applications, different ways to connect with one another Lan, wireless gsm etc. Stuff we do today technology TV internet etc. And then over worked. Sleep deprivation, psychatric medicine etc. All unheard of before. Twinkies filled with delicious cream and sugar available by the truck load when sweet ripe fruit would considered a luxury in the past and even further in neolithic times Sweet fruit would be a lucky find. Its a weird metaphor but hopefully my idea can come across
The interviewer tells the girl that she's fair and the girl says "noooooooo, but thank you so much." So it's a compliment in the girl's perspective but in reality it wasn't a compliment....it was a statement.
In Western leftist feminist anti-white reality, it was a statement. But, in Asian reality, it was a compliment. As fair basically means a beauty Goddess who is more likely to get dicks and attention.
When I was born my mom told me that my relatives came to see me and they said: "How this dark skinned woman gave birth to a light skin baby" they were shocked! relatives are wolves in sheep's clothing!
True. I've experienced this in another way. My mom is very fair skinned despite being brown, like she's almost pale.. and I also inherited that, but not as pale. People would always tell me I look like my mom, that I was beautiful, pretty, etc. Personally, I don't look like her at all, I look more like my father if anything. But when my sister was born (different father), she was born dark skinned.. I was around 8 or 9, so I remember how people kept talking about how dark skinned she was. Whenever we were at relatives or gatherings, people would always make that comparison, they would say I looked like my mom and then for my sister they would talk about her skin. Nobody has ever said that my sister looked like anyone in our family. But my mom legitimately looked exactly like her when she was young. So.. why? And I realized because were being prejudiced and discriminatory, just because of her skin color despite being family/relatives. It's messed up and sad.
Imagine the revererse my mother is also very very very fair like almost pale and she gives birth to a medium brown chid like me its sucha confidence dropper 😢😢😢
the actress was trying to avoid the question while simultaneously ironically being proud about being called fair 😐 at least the guy didn’t BS at the end...
" We are all beautiful no matter the shade of our skin." This is not true, and you know it... Not evryone is "beautiful"... Such "wholesome" comments cant change reality. Y o u can prefer a darker skin tone, but not everyone is like that. I have a quite light skin tone (I'm European), but I still prefere a light skin tone. It's m y preference.
My grandmother was an extremely fair skinned Indian woman and I considered my family to be a pretty progressive family. She went on to marry my grandpa who was a tall, dark and a handsome man. So when she happened to tell me (a dark skinned woman) that she likes my sister better because she was fair, i was taken aback. And this happened just about a year ago. I then started connecting the dots and saw a pattern - when I was younger and given lesser candy than my fairer American cousins, i was looked down upon. When I was given lesser affection than my fairer skinned sister, I was also looked down upon. I realized that it doesn't matter whether you come from the richest or the poorest household, you're still discriminated against in your own family in minute ways which mentally torment you, silently. Luckily enough, my mum wouldn't pay heed to this 'fair skin obsession' and abolished the same within our home. For that, I am so grateful.
Dang...thats terrible. I am so sorry you experienced that. As an African American woman I can honestly and truly say that I love both of our complexions. Brown skin is sooooo beautiful. Your grandma was just brainwashed
@@mutawadada6311 self hate is present almost everywhere. If you're talking about the fair skin aspect even black people try to be fairer. Take Beyonce for example.
@@alsage9992 Beyonce is naturally light skinned and black people embrace their natural skin tones more than any other race on the planet, we're the reason videos like this were even made coz Asians and white people have no idea how much damage they do to themselves.

I'm by default is a bit fairer than my cousins and they talk about my skin in such an admiring way that I cringe some times, in reality they look far better than me just somehow society has programmed us to think if you are fair you are more beautiful which is ridiculous
unfortunately it’s mostly rooted in colonialism while in countries like china it’s about old beliefs. people working in the fields get tanned and dark skin while the priviliged are whiter but it’s teally toxic
Only for women. White men are absolutely demonized in America. White is only beautiful when talking about women. Get the men and the world has contempt.
@@goldenhourss This is a typical misconceptiont. Go read about the "beauty standards" of every civilization for the last thousands of years... You will find out that many, many, many of them have "fairer skin" as a very desirable trait - before any european colonialism. Do a 30 min research and -mostly likelyl - you will change your mind about that statement. It is just a fact of life, but it can be very toxic though.
There is a difference between tanning and actually having brown skin. White people will still be white when tanned. Brown skinned individuals have social stereotypes, implicit bias, and racism to deal with. Artificial tanning is appropriating minority culture without experiencing it.
@@user-vu8zy1pu3v I know people that want to feel blaker because it's trendy or because they're fed up of white beuty stereotypes, but they're good friends of mind. I'm black and I don't care about people wanting to feel more brown as long as they're kind to actual brown people

I remember nearly getting into a fist fight with my mom and aunts 2 days after giving birth to my daughter. Why? Well, apparently my baby was not fair enough. I had a difficult pregnancy and had suffered through labor contractions that had lasted 4 days. So I wasn't in the mood for their BS.
@SpONgEboB sQUarEpaNTs but everyone can CHOOSE to get super white teeth. and everyone is born with them. While not everyone is born white.. Hell no this is not a beauty standard.. Is a form of dividing people..
I'm not Indian but I'm from the Caribbean where in most places having fair or white skin is highly praised and if you're too dark you're made fun of and told to bleach your skin which a lot of people do there. I was born light skin and was always praised and complimented by family members even my parents which made me and always makes me uncomfortable. My aunt even said to me one time that she wished she had my skin color. Every time they do that it just made me feel like I wouldn't be as loved if I wasn't light skin.
Estive na República Dominicana e fiquei chocada com o racismo contra os haitianos. Os dominicanos também são negros, mas de pele mais clara. Como mulher negra de pele clara, nunca havia percebido que as pessoas mais escuras sofrem muito mais 😢.
I'm Nigerian and I'm so grateful that colorism is hardly a thing here. We have no beauty standards either. It doesn't matter whether you're light or dark. I didn't realize how blessed we are to have this kind of mindset till I saw how rampant colorism was in different parts of the world
In Mexico is the exact same story: ads feature only Caucasian or fair looking people in a country with a predominantly indigenous admixture. Dark is beautiful, eff racist practices.
It's common across latinamerica, honestly. Despite having a huuge amount of dark skinned people, most of the time television celebrities, models and tv hosts tend to be fair skinned.
In India even the character of Krishna is played by a fair skin actor ! All know that Krishna is black skinned. This shows our obsession with fair skin
I am a white girl who spent 3 months travelling all around India and it was extremely noticeable. So many times kids would touch my arms and feel my skin. All the lotions, soaps, and sun creams had lightening products in them. In fact, in India and Indonesia it was very difficult to find them without, It was sad to see as to me, dark skin is beautiful and absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. My Indian friend (who is from a wealthy family) said that when she was born, her mother was disappointed in how dark her baby's (my friends) skin was, and that was coming from a high caste still.
You said it maybe because you're white.. Me and my wife are white (about 5% in town) and the people obsessed with fair skin is the brown people, while white friends never talks about skin color. Something similar happens with short people, some of them use to think a lot about height, while the tall people rarely have that in mind.
@@anonanon7235Wrong. Colorism existed way before the British arrived. Ancient Greeks and Romans documented Indian traders always asking for fair skinned women as bar tenders or maids.
@@cletozubTrue. I have seen this. Brown people are literally slaves to white skin, constantly asskissing and praising white folks. Sooooo cringe. Where is the self-respect?
@@sushitraxh6736 My family is from the Philippines and my parents get annoyed whenever I get a fake tan (I was born and raised in Australia and HEAPS of my friends, Caucasian and Asian, get fake tans for prom and just whenever).
I love how those girls at the end, who are supposed to be "lower down and dark" are more articulate and intelligent than any of the actors that were interviewed
And they're SO pretty too! Compared to actual models over here I'd absolutely love to see these dark skinned girls around in ads. As soon as I see a fair person in my ads *outside not on the internet* I immediately lose interest.
"My mom gave me this skin, and I love it." Made me tear up a little. It just put into focus with a single sentence how unnatural and wrong the narrative of "fair = beauty" is. If your ancestors were beautiful as they were, why you shouldn't be deemed as beautiful? Melanin as also very protective and reduces the damage to skin and even DNA deeper in your body from radiation. You can compare how much more youthful very dark skinned people appear to very fair people when they reach middle age and older, and in the US where people live in the same area the difference is very apparent. *No skin color is better than another*, but if people developed a preference it would be more logical for it to be darker skin since we would look youthful for longer. There is of course the benefit of fair skin absorbing vitamin D better, but this can be supplemented in the diet. I just wish people everywhere were allowed to feel comfortable in their own skin instead of having fairness arbitrarily held as ideal in so many places around the world
I'm from India and since my childhood I've heard people calling people names just because of their dark skin colour and believe me they are so derogatory that it might kill the person's confidence in their own skin forever. It's surprising to see Indians being racist towards their own people even when most of the Indians are either brown or dark in colour. What a joke.
A lot of Blacks are the same way, self hating and hate dark skin. Alot of them throw colorist insults like "you burned toast," and "you burned," "black ass" etc..

It's not just in India, here in Pakistan, people obsession with fair skin is endless. If your skin is white, u are consider beautiful, but if ur skin is brown, u are consider ugly. People needs to understand that white skin does not mean to be beautiful, beauty comes from the heart, from the soul, and not from the face

Literally the opposite is happening Im a fair skinned person (I can tan kinda) and I prefer tanned women But tbh no person should make themselves fairer or darker

As a fully the blackest guy on the planet (as seen on my profile pic), i feel like people lack information about these differences in skin tone, dark skin is gifted to people mainly rich in Vitamin D which protects us from most dangerous sun's rays, it's a gift. I have done many trips around our continent and I've seen who different in dark skin tones we are. In cantral Africa and India, the more you approach the so-called Equator line, the more people are darker. It shows exactly why we have such a gift, but I always hate or sometime wonder why do people not embrace these differences as a matter of fact a kinda force of self-defense towards place, adaptation rooted from evolution of humankind. It's obviously easy to change dark to light but never possible the contrary. Love yourself like you're, know why is the biggest advice I can offer to anyone suffering with self hate, or low confidence due to his skin tone.
It's called melanin. Not "vitamin D". Just because someone is darker in colour doesn't make them immune to uv rays. It's still extremely bad for you to stay in sun. Wear sunscreen/ avoid sun as much as possible!!
Les africains qui naissent et vivent en Belgique ont la couleur de peau typique à leurs pays d’origine, parfois très noire, pourtant nous sommes très loin de l’équateur...
When Priyanka Chopra is the west she speaks like she's this super progressive person, yet she's perpetuating this dangerous beauty standard in her own country.
To all those overreacting - Whites lie in the sun not to get black, neither are Indians trying to be white The Golden Color - that is what we are all aspiring to be - maybe that is why the Japanese think they are superior to everyone else

@@swishersweetprofessional8286 I think skin color is not something to be proud of, whether its black or white or any other. It is given to us naturally, it is not something we have worked hard for. But we should be satisfied with it.
once you associate pale with beauty, its easy to understand she's just tying to be modest by saying "I dont think im pretty but thanks for complimenting me"
Obv, they don't have the budgets of Holywood movies so they have to make do with as little takes as possible. Holywood movies shoot the same scene for days until they get it exactly how they want it. Most Bolywood movies can't afford to prolong the shoot that long, because they will lose money.
Its quite a shame that we still blame colonialism for this. India has always been obsessed with fair skin. And even if this hate for brown skin is due to colonialism, it's been years, and everyone involved in it is dead; we cannot and should not blame them anymore. If a simple concept like "No skin colour is better than the other" is beyond our grasp, only we are to blame.
You're right. It's an bad excuse and doesn't make sense. Indian society gotta do the self-work and do better so the issue can resolve. Blaming everything on white people won't get you nowhere, just look at Africa.
Not always... Draupadi had a very dark skin, even Men back then were found attractive and manly only if they were dark for eg- Nakul in Mahabharat and even Shri Ram. Even the mighty kings like Maurya and Ashok and Pallavas were dark skinned.
@Khushi_R9 sorry but mahabharat is a book, and not plain facts of history. Some say she was dark, some say she wasnt; I know Indians today and from at least a century ago only cared for white skin.

Our religion is older than 20 times of your religion. Your own gurus were Khatri, why not address the caste bias there?
Nobody tells them that they won't get a job or spouse because of it. That's the point. Plus tv ads in Europe don't suggest that you won't find a spouse if your skin isn't the "right" color. Try to think before you comment.

Ummm....no, tanning and bleaching are not the same. Bleaching can exclude you employment/relationships/opportunities as stated in the video. Tanning can just hurt your feelings without having a financial impact on your life. At this point, colorless people choose to be obtuse
Its not about wanting to be fair you dumbo, its about how you are ill treated because of something you can't control. No brown person wants to get lasered simply because they don't like brown but because people continously tell them that they are not beautiful like that

esaesa07 that’s because blackface is a mixture of envy, fascination, desire and fear. afraid of black groups rising up and taking the power, so whites mocked their appearance
Tanning is not really the same because people don't tan to get jobs. The American version is Black people lightening their skin / straightening their hair to look more white

This word "fair" as its being used today has been redefined as meaning light,(as opposed to dark), As in the term, fair skin, as in, "she is a fair skin person". When someone says this what they are trying to say, (according to the current redefinition of the word fair) is that the person has a light complexion. This is a absolute redefinition of the word "fair". This word "fair" never meant to have light complexion or light hair. Never once in any literature dating 100-150 years before now,(including the bible) is the word "fair" used as a description in regard regard to color. This redefinition in and of itself has deep implications and strong undertones of racism. To imply by redefinition that something or someone is fair because they are of a lighter complexion is subliminally degrading those of darker complexion. That's to say those of darker complexions are unfair and ugly. In India, this is being done as a prolonged form of colonial racism just as it is in Africa and Latin countries where "white",(actually various shades of red) people have colonized the people, land and culture. WAKE UP PEOPLE ....
@@guestspinelli2435 I don't think the word fair and the subliminal meaning it may carry is the reason for Indian beauty standard being lighter skinned. In my opinion it has to do with the geography of the nation. In many Asian countries pale skin is seen as more beautiful because poor people have to work outside for living, which leads to unavoidable skin tanning. The correlation being that if you have light skin, it means you have enough wealth that you don't need to work in the rice fields. Wealth is the real beauty standard here. Same reason people buy expensive brand clothing. I come from Finland, and we have a lot of white people here. Over here the beauty standard is to be more tanned. Because it shows that you have enough wealth to travel abroad to some warmer nation with sun shine. You get a nice tan while in that country, and then come home to your pale ass homeboys who get jealous just imagining the warm weather conditions you came from when they see your tan.
@@guestspinelli2435 I don't think the way we use "fair" in particular is that bad compared to how people call eachother "black" and "white". There's so much symbolism in our history about black = evil and white = good. Despite most people having pinkish skin or brown skin, we decide to use these very polarizing 1 dimensional words instead. Us vs them.

ashshenanigans 12 that simply isn’t true, they may want a slight “tan” so that they don’t look like a dry skinned ghost. But the fact of the matter is, white westerners are not making a conscious effort to be darker ESPECIALLY as it relates to darker skinned people attempting to be lighter. That’s because being white is beneficial. The west is where the white beauty standard came from. “Hollywood.”
I think that the people of India with the dark skin beautiful black hair are the most beautiful people I ever saw. They have the better of both worlds when it comes to hair and skin color.👍👍
I'm grateful for the amount of work Nigerian and African artists and entertainers have done in uplifting and glorifying dark skin and melanin. It's easy to forget but Nigeria used to have this issue with bleaching. Some people still bleach but I think now it's more of a personal choice and not from social pressure.
@you mad ? I disagree. It's there but not on any significant scale. Maybe in other parts. In Nigeria, this isn't the case anymore. I'd like to see some stats
@I am not an Ape Have you ever been to Africa? There are 54 countries there. I have been to three. I spent two weeks and did not see a single woman with bleached skin and very few with fake hair. Bet you wouldn't even know the difference between African Americans and Africans smh.

Alisha kot exactly! For her to act so surprise that she’s considered “light” it’s laughable. The director flat out said actors in India don’t get hired unless they’re lighter in complexion and this girl acts like that doesn’t happen.....pleaseeeee!!!

As a Filipino it always reminds me of colorism back when i was a kid, majority used to say that people who've had a dark skin described as dirty and poor so whenever they applied for job they often treated unfairly and rejected.

I'm a Sri Lankan who's considered light-skinned for my ethnicity. One of my good friends growing up had deep, dark skin and was constantly bullied by our school teacher and class for it. She used to be called 'kalu kaputa' (black crow) and was told she should wash her face more often to wash off the 'blackness'. She was very easy-going and took the jeering well but I could see that it really hurt her. I never joined in the jokes but I wish I'd stood up for her back then. The same teacher used to call me pretty just because of my light skin tone despite my friend being objectively waaaay prettier than me. These beauty standards are infuriatingly toxic.
I am wondering if a couple in India, Sri Lanka etc where beauty is measure by skin color gets married would they not consider the RISK of procreating and having a child with a dark skin color and having this human being plague with a life of prejudice, mocking, and pain and moreover many parents are dissatisfied and ashamed of their kid's skin color. The married couple KNOWS THE RISK AND POSSIBILITY of having a dark child based on their family skin color background thus, WHY CONCEIVE in such society? WHY RISK having a DARK CHILD in such society and be dissatisfied? WHY BRING TO SUCH SOCIETY A HUMAN BEING that will suffer the consequences of the parents GENETIC MATERIAL? I find it very unfair for the person who is born in such society; they are dark skin due to the parents DNA yet they pay the consequences of an unfair society due to the PARENTS CHOICE TO REPRODUCE WITH COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR THAT HUMAN THAT WILL CARRY THE BURDEN OF THEIR PARENTS DNA.

@Dean Not at all. Chinese and Japanese have long applied face whiteners, long before the advent of Europeans. In fact it started the fashion in 16th century Europe for chalk face powdering and wigs amongst nobles.

" i think i am brown"
The lady says shes very fair and the actress says
" thank you"
Tht shows her mindset
Uhh
So true. She was going the P.C. route like she's oblivious to fair complexion and the advantages.
EXACTLY. i THOUGHT THE SAME

She wanted her to compliment her more about it.
When the actress said "thank you so much" on being called a 'fair' girl. It spoke everything. Thats the mentality right there.
Periodt.
Exactly, i was taken aback by that
Is Math related to science?
It’s not like we’re blaming her, but the system. She was growing up hearing that fair = beautiful, so she automatically says thank you like if she was called pretty. People still have to realise the amount of privilege they have, people in power can bring the most of change.
@@margaritam.9118 Yes! I don't understand how some can be so blind to what's so very evident.

The actress said "Thank you" at 5:40 when the reporter called her "very fair". It verifies how fair skin is considered better or that being fair is something to be proud of. Colorism is prevalent in Indian society and it's gonna take a long time to change people's mindset.
Not only that, be she denies profoundly that actors use skin lighting creams acting super surprised saying that is not true. She wants people to believe they are naturally that fair, but then the guy comments that they get their makeup done to look fairer, totally contradicting what she said. At least he was being honest..
Exactly what I wanted to point out. It's so deep in everyone's minds that it won't go out any time soon from Indians' minds. Thankfully, exposure to western world where Europeans complimented my dark skin made me get rid of skin complexions.
She’s right
Yes! I found her comments and denial very disingenuous.
Imagine what they think of your half-breed African child who has strong afro features. LoooL
I was born dark, so everybody accused my mother for eating the wrong things when she was pregnant. Imagine hearing this when youre like just a toddler.
I can relate to this, even now when I'm 18 years-old my mother-side family sometimes still make fun of my skin tone, even though I take after my dad. This shit destroyed my self-confidence man.
I'm so sorry you both had to go through that😢 that is just awful and ignorant, no one NO ONE should ever be made to feel bad or worthless about their skin color. All skin colours are absolutely beautiful ,I feel sorry for anyone who believes otherwise.

She was afraid to get darker and made a huge deal about not allowing sunlight to touch her skin. She got a lot of attention; hundreds of likes on facebook posts, guys etc. but she had all the insecurities. Not matter what I did. That East indian culture is no joke. It creates tensions for both Men and female on what is perceived as ideal and attractive.

Like Manual labor albeit runs slow or in a different roll as before. making children, sleeping etc. But the whole the entire society and environment has changed, different outlets,different software games applications, different ways to connect with one another Lan, wireless gsm etc.
Stuff we do today technology TV internet etc. And then over worked. Sleep deprivation, psychatric medicine etc. All unheard of before. Twinkies filled with delicious cream and sugar available by the truck load when sweet ripe fruit would considered a luxury in the past and even further in neolithic times Sweet fruit would be a lucky find.

KHABIB TIME!!! What
When I was born my mom told me that my relatives came to see me and they said: "How this dark skinned woman gave birth to a light skin baby" they were shocked! relatives are wolves in sheep's clothing!
True. I've experienced this in another way. My mom is very fair skinned despite being brown, like she's almost pale.. and I also inherited that, but not as pale.
People would always tell me I look like my mom, that I was beautiful, pretty, etc. Personally, I don't look like her at all, I look more like my father if anything.
But when my sister was born (different father), she was born dark skinned.. I was around 8 or 9, so I remember how people kept talking about how dark skinned she was.
Whenever we were at relatives or gatherings, people would always make that comparison, they would say I looked like my mom and then for my sister they would talk about her skin.
Nobody has ever said that my sister looked like anyone in our family. But my mom legitimately looked exactly like her when she was young. So.. why?
And I realized because were being prejudiced and discriminatory, just because of her skin color despite being family/relatives. It's messed up and sad.

My grandmother was an extremely fair skinned Indian woman and I considered my family to be a pretty progressive family. She went on to marry my grandpa who was a tall, dark and a handsome man.
So when she happened to tell me (a dark skinned woman) that she likes my sister better because she was fair, i was taken aback. And this happened just about a year ago.
I then started connecting the dots and saw a pattern - when I was younger and given lesser candy than my fairer American cousins, i was looked down upon. When I was given lesser affection than my fairer skinned sister, I was also looked down upon. I realized that it doesn't matter whether you come from the richest or the poorest household, you're still discriminated against in your own family in minute ways which mentally torment you, silently.

Have heard of that, it's also common in South Korea, Thailand, north Africa and the the rest of Asia and Latin America as well.
Brazil too, but it is getting better.
It's common across latinamerica, honestly. Despite having a huuge amount of dark skinned people, most of the time television celebrities, models and tv hosts tend to be fair skinned.
@Jose Moran So is any type of skin. You deal with it.
In India even the character of Krishna is played by a fair skin actor ! All know that Krishna is black skinned.

Colourism= racism
I am a white girl who spent 3 months travelling all around India and it was extremely noticeable. So many times kids would touch my arms and feel my skin. All the lotions, soaps, and sun creams had lightening products in them. In fact, in India and Indonesia it was very difficult to find them without, It was sad to see as to me, dark skin is beautiful and absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. My Indian friend (who is from a wealthy family) said that when she was born, her mother was disappointed in how dark her baby's (my friends) skin was, and that was coming from a high caste still.
Legacies of colonialism.
@@anonanon7235 and casteism too!! caste plays a huge factor
You said it maybe because you're white.. Me and my wife are white (about 5% in town) and the people obsessed with fair skin is the brown people, while white friends never talks about skin color. Something similar happens with short people, some of them use to think a lot about height, while the tall people rarely have that in mind.
@@anonanon7235Wrong. Colorism existed way before the British arrived. Ancient Greeks and Romans documented Indian traders always asking for fair skinned women as bar tenders or maids.

What is the problem? Some tan to be brown and others bleach. Everyone wants to be different.
"My mom gave me this skin, and I love it." Made me tear up a little. It just put into focus with a single sentence how unnatural and wrong the narrative of "fair = beauty" is. If your ancestors were beautiful as they were, why you shouldn't be deemed as beautiful?
Melanin as also very protective and reduces the damage to skin and even DNA deeper in your body from radiation. You can compare how much more youthful very dark skinned people appear to very fair people when they reach middle age and older, and in the US where people live in the same area the difference is very apparent. *No skin color is better than another*, but if people developed a preference it would be more logical for it to be darker skin since we would look youthful for longer. There is of course the benefit of fair skin absorbing vitamin D better, but this can be supplemented in the diet. I just wish people everywhere were allowed to feel comfortable in their own skin instead of having fairness arbitrarily held as ideal in so many places around the world
I'm from India and since my childhood I've heard people calling people names just because of their dark skin colour and believe me they are so derogatory that it might kill the person's confidence in their own skin forever. It's surprising to see Indians being racist towards their own people even when most of the Indians are either brown or dark in colour. What a joke.
Same here in the Philippines

As a fully the blackest guy on the planet (as seen on my profile pic), i feel like people lack information about these differences in skin tone, dark skin is gifted to people mainly rich in Vitamin D which protects us from most dangerous sun's rays, it's a gift. I have done many trips around our continent and I've seen who different in dark skin tones we are. In cantral Africa and India, the more you approach the so-called Equator line, the more people are darker. It shows exactly why we have such a gift, but I always hate or sometime wonder why do people not embrace these differences as a matter of fact a kinda force of self-defense towards place, adaptation rooted from evolution of humankind. It's obviously easy to change dark to light but never possible the contrary. Love yourself like you're, know why is the biggest advice I can offer to anyone suffering with self hate, or low confidence due to his skin tone.
It becomes a curse the further you are from the equator because darker skin has a harder time absorbing the sun and producing vitamin D. 😢
Its akin to superstition. Nobody in their low class mindset want to listen to reality
It's called melanin. Not "vitamin D". Just because someone is darker in colour doesn't make them immune to uv rays. It's still extremely bad for you to stay in sun. Wear sunscreen/ avoid sun as much as possible!!
Les africains qui naissent et vivent en Belgique ont la couleur de peau typique à leurs pays d’origine, parfois très noire, pourtant nous sommes très loin de l’équateur...
When Priyanka Chopra is the west she speaks like she's this super progressive person, yet she's perpetuating this dangerous beauty standard in her own country.
True, she is considered a beautiful exotic beauty here in the west.

Its quite a shame that we still blame colonialism for this. India has always been obsessed with fair skin. And even if this hate for brown skin is due to colonialism, it's been years, and everyone involved in it is dead; we cannot and should not blame them anymore. If a simple concept like "No skin colour is better than the other" is beyond our grasp, only we are to blame.
You're right. It's an bad excuse and doesn't make sense. Indian society gotta do the self-work and do better so the issue can resolve. Blaming everything on white people won't get you nowhere, just look at Africa.
Not always... Draupadi had a very dark skin, even Men back then were found attractive and manly only if they were dark for eg- Nakul in Mahabharat and even Shri Ram. Even the mighty kings like Maurya and Ashok and Pallavas were dark skinned.

Ummm....no, tanning and bleaching are not the same. Bleaching can exclude you employment/relationships/opportunities as stated in the video. Tanning can just hurt your feelings without having a financial impact on your life. At this point, colorless people choose to be obtuse
Its not about wanting to be fair you dumbo, its about how you are ill treated because of something you can't control. No brown person wants to get lasered simply because they don't like brown but because people continously tell them that they are not beautiful like that

This word "fair" as its being used today has been redefined as meaning light,(as opposed to dark),
As in the term, fair skin, as in, "she is a fair skin person".
When someone says this what they are trying to say, (according to the current redefinition of the word fair) is that the person has a light complexion. This is a absolute redefinition of the word "fair".
This word "fair" never meant to have light complexion or light hair. Never once in any literature dating 100-150 years before now,(including the bible) is the word "fair" used as a description in regard regard to color.
This redefinition in and of itself has deep implications and strong undertones of racism. To imply by redefinition that something or someone is fair because they are of a lighter complexion is subliminally degrading those of darker complexion. That's to say those of darker complexions are unfair and ugly.
In India, this is being done as a prolonged form of colonial racism just as it is in Africa and Latin countries where "white",(actually various shades of red) people have colonized the people, land and culture.
WAKE UP PEOPLE ....
@@guestspinelli2435 I don't think the word fair and the subliminal meaning it may carry is the reason for Indian beauty standard being lighter skinned. In my opinion it has to do with the geography of the nation. In many Asian countries pale skin is seen as more beautiful because poor people have to work outside for living, which leads to unavoidable skin tanning. The correlation being that if you have light skin, it means you have enough wealth that you don't need to work in the rice fields. Wealth is the real beauty standard here. Same reason people buy expensive brand clothing.
I come from Finland, and we have a lot of white people here. Over here the beauty standard is to be more tanned. Because it shows that you have enough wealth to travel abroad to some warmer nation with sun shine. You get a nice tan while in that country, and then come home to your pale ass homeboys who get jealous just imagining the warm weather conditions you came from when they see your tan.
Lol
@@guestspinelli2435 I don't think the way we use "fair" in particular is that bad compared to how people call eachother "black" and "white". There's so much symbolism in our history about black = evil and white = good. Despite most people having pinkish skin or brown skin, we decide to use these very polarizing 1 dimensional words instead. Us vs them.

@Slavic Melody but people arent denied jobs for not being tan and its only seen as that way on white people , this beauty standard was pushes by white people of dark poc being bad while dark skin on white people was exotic
Angrejo ne jo diya tha wo nikla nhi abhi, that's why fair skin obsession.
To all the actors and actresses endorsing fair skin and advertising products for the same, you should be ashamed of yourselves.
Sumith Bhat to everyone who gets married / engaged using a diamond should be ashamed of their self as well
@@davidjr3769 And that's why I went with moissanite
fishslab nice 👍🏽
@@davidjr3769 what does that have to do with a belief and hate of brown skin that is rooted in that society, people are literally being rejected from jobs because of the colour of their skin and you're comparing it to proposing with a dimond? Watching an 'adam ruins everything' video doesnt make you smart.
Anus twist they both are pushed by major corporations to make more money for the company with out care for the public
I'm a spanish girl that i always hang out with Indian people, see Bollywood series and films and try to learn everyday from this precious culture they have, i must say that we always say they are SO BEAUTIFUL and attractive, I love them and the darker skin the cutter they are!!
This is disgusting. Every race should be proud of who they are.
everyone should respect everyone else's culture...even if that culture is into fair skins
@@ORYZAAMANS-dc4se
Hmmm...
Even if the people _within_ that culture are the last people considered to be hired for a job because of their natural skin color?
Even if the people within that culture bleaching their skin to look like a race they weren't born as are likely pushing colorism on their own children to harm their skin and look like them too?
No, everyone should not respect a culture that is hateful and disrespectful to their own and other dark-skinned people.
What an ignorant statement.
@@HellBrat i respect ur opinion on this subject...i hope u can do the same with people with different cultures than urs.
remember, everything u said can be vise versa...for instance "everyone should not respect people like u...people that don't respect other people's cultures"...
u c my point?!
@@ORYZAAMANS-dc4se
I don't.
I don't mind if no one respects me for not respecting a harmful culture. It doesn't affect me whatsoever, as my belief doesn't affect _it._ What I believe in doesn't contribute to hardship in several of my own people's lives.
@@ORYZAAMANS-dc4se That's NOT Indian culture. What you see there is a centuries old slave mentality to western beauty standarts. But i assume you're white so.....yeah
"you think I'm fair? Thank you!" wow, those papa by chance actors are in complete denial
An she's brown
Skin lightening nahi chahiye B.C. Dark is beautiful 😍
OMG it's mr.Rock himself.
😂
My man, speaking the language of Gods... 😅
Hello Dosto. Good to see you guys here. I really hate these skin lightening products and the people who promote them.
😁 😁
It is happening everywhere, even in the US & Canada although the people bleaching their skin will not admit it even though it is obvious.
@Kaleina lifestyle.What does that mean? Lol These stories are coming from people within thier own cultures..I just said it is happening everywhere even in North America meaning within the culture of the people doing it. It is not Canada promoting or encouraging anyone to do this. If anything, Canada encourages people to be free to be themselves.
No it’s not
I'm a Sri Lankan who's considered light-skinned for my ethnicity. One of my good friends growing up had deep, dark skin and was constantly bullied by our school teacher and class for it. She used to be called 'kalu kaputa' (black crow) and was told she should wash her face more often to wash off the 'blackness'. She was very easy-going and took the jeering well but I could see that it really hurt her. I never joined in the jokes but I wish I'd stood up for her back then. The same teacher used to call me pretty just because of my light skin tone despite my friend being objectively waaaay prettier than me. These beauty standards are infuriatingly toxic.
The teacher called her that too?
I am surprised the teacher call her names...that was uncalled for.
I am wondering if a couple in India, Sri Lanka etc where beauty is measure by skin color gets married would they not consider the RISK of procreating and having a child with a dark skin color and having this human being plague with a life of prejudice, mocking, and pain and moreover many parents are dissatisfied and ashamed of their kid's skin color. The married couple KNOWS THE RISK AND POSSIBILITY of having a dark child based on their family skin color background thus, WHY CONCEIVE in such society? WHY RISK having a DARK CHILD in such society and be dissatisfied? WHY BRING TO SUCH SOCIETY A HUMAN BEING that will suffer the consequences of the parents GENETIC MATERIAL? I find it very unfair for the person who is born in such society; they are dark skin due to the parents DNA yet they pay the consequences of an unfair society due to the PARENTS CHOICE TO REPRODUCE WITH COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR THAT HUMAN THAT WILL CARRY THE BURDEN OF THEIR PARENTS DNA.
@@kintsukuroi6300 you’re acting like dark skin is a disability,? It’s society that needs to change not the individual
@@kintsukuroi6300 lol that’s literally so stupid its society that has to change like what is wrong with you its just skin color its because of stupid people and racism and colorism that darker skinned people are treated badly people just have to stop thinking like that not stop having darker skinned children
Well, I am an Indian. I don't have a fair skin. And I am proud of it!
My niece doesn't have fair skin but she's beautiful and very attractive.
And proud of her skin tone.
Sad that entertainment is treated as standard. This is madness
Why would you be proud of color skin? Seems pretty racist to me
@@user-tn9sb5ci3f oh, he didn't mean it in a racist way.
@@sakaarmathur225 I'm proud and happy to be white then, not in a racist way
That actress thanked the reporter for saying she has fair skin
She asked her that lame question,just to hear that compliment...
Yea caught that..after she thinks she's brown 🤷♂️
And that revealed everything!!
So what's wrong different cultures understanding
Lmao I cringed at that part
