i think it's pretty retarded, to be honest....
my wife is indian, and i recall her telling me that one of her cousins back in India was having a hard time getting married....as far as my wife was concerned, this particular girl was probably the prettiest of all her cousins by far, but because she had darker skin, it was difficult to get her 'arranged' so to speak....some family's wanted a huge amount of money just because of it....
If she were here, and free and clear from some of those influences, and was (like my wife) able to just date or meet any guy she wanted, she could probably have her pick of a ton of guys...but back home, thats just the way it is at the moment....
i think the term i hear a lot for the lighter skin tone is 'wheatish'....
lol
sweet jebus...I'll absolutely never ever understand this obsession with the whole dark vs. light thing..
pretty is pretty....period....whether you're as dark as night or 'wheatish'....- I know exactly what you're talking about. I have cousins who have went through this.Jaline

- so indians are racist too. good to know.flashbender
- I think most cultures are racist within themselves.Jaline
- "within themselves." is unnecessary. you could have left it at "Most cultures are racist."flashbender
- Both statements are true.Jaline
- Some people may not realize that this type of racism occurs within cultures.Jaline
