There were so many ads on the big screen at Delhi for Fair and Handsome ads. Pathetic I say! Just pathetic. What sort of an image will India have in front of the world? Isn't this giving forcing a pathetic message into the heads that fair is better!? The whole cricket loving population across the world would be watching this footage. Why the fuck should anyone be concerned about skin colour? Looks like even if the foreigners don't think anything about this matter, it seems like these advertisers will instigate such thoughts. Won't foreigners think these dark skinned a**holes are inferior because of their skin color? Absolutely pathetic I tell you!<br /><br />Appadiye pathikitu varuthu when I see that ad, especially when mother effing bastards like Shah Rukh are endorsing it. I had so much respect for Shah Rukh for he is such a great entertainer. I feel like slapping the stupid fellow now. Now I feel like a fool to have liked the bugger. Shame on media. On one hand there are media people working their arses off trying to show good material like Irom's fast in manipur, risking life uncovering potilical crimes, and on the other hand these advertisers are insulting India and us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050700084750309897.post-86795991600414763022010-08-06T19:43:13.087+05:302010-08-06T19:43:13.087+05:30Marcel,

Do tanning cream promise success if you use them? <br /><br />Fairness cream is marketed thus. False promises by attributing success on using them. Success, confidence, bright future and what not silly stuffs by dabbing some so called fairness cream!!! Isnt that ridiculous? Thats why the fuss.

Welcome :-)
I appreciate your views. I a...Merlin,<br /><br />Welcome :-)<br /><br />I appreciate your views. I agree all mentioned actresses are equally popular. But if you notice, sometimes..I repeat sometimes, Bipasha Basu's name might be prefixed with a "dusky". Does it happen with Katrina Kaif? I have not read anywhere "fair" Katrina Kaif...blah..blah.. <br /><br />Now why do we feel that fair is more pleasant that dusky? The British Raj has nothing to do with us being color biased, but they did aggravate the already created division - Fair is superior tag. <br /><br />Talking about the social circumstances, we cannot dismiss the color bias w.r.t caste as well, which is very prominent in India. Let me give an example. A person belonging to Brahmin caste is assumed to be fair by default. I have seen it, experienced it. A duskier color is a doubt! <br /><br />I dont know if you have ever come across such incidents. I dont blame the media, I dont blame the stars, I blame ourselves. We, our craziness for fair skin has fed them the opportunity which they are utilizing. And it requires a bit of ethics and morality which no one seems to have in this rat race. The media and the stars being so influential, should understand they do have some responsibility towards the society. <br /><br />I understand when you say about you living in Europe and having to face discrimination. I have lived in North America for a short time and I have faced it as well. I dont say its equal in the west, if you read my lines, I have told there are exceptions everywhere. My point is that its present and when its present, its obvious discrimination. Whereas here, its taken for granted that its perfectly normal and not a discrimination. <br /><br />And we cant point fingers at others accusing them of discrimination when we ourselves do it day in and day out. <br /><br />Thanks a lot for your comments. I very much appreciate it.Insigniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09819054091062923489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050700084750309897.post-34922753103744008022010-07-07T21:32:55.014+05:302010-07-07T21:32:55.014+05:30Bipasha Basu, Kajol, Rani Mukherji, Dipika Padukon...Bipasha Basu, Kajol, Rani Mukherji, Dipika Padukone and to an extent Aishwarya, are "dusky" beauties and are as popular as Priety Zinta and Katrina Kaif. However if you take the average person, fair is usually more pleasant to look at than dark complexioned average women (I am not talking of the exceptional dark and dusky beauties like Halle Berry and Bipasha Basu) Media, the british raj and social perceptions have nothing to do with it. At first glance if there is a fair guy standing next to a very dark, pitch dark guy, the fair guy will catch your attention (or the fair girl, if one happens to be a guy)In a mixed country where fair and dark people co-exist, it is inevitable that media will utilize the fair is beautiful factor. I am not supporting it but just saying its a fact, its not a media created or a british raj created thing, I live in Europe and have faced a discrimination against my "brown" skin which in India was called "fair". Its ironical but its all relative. When you say that in the west its all equal, you see equal number of black models etc, thats not true. In the west also, the "normal" (and lets not talk of Halle Berry here) black person is not considered the most good looking. So if one is discriminated against it is wrong. But if someone says fair is beautiful then i will shrug and say "ok accepted, but so what, beautiful is not everything"Merlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05373549268388520052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050700084750309897.post-58021589856424372152010-07-07T19:43:03.108+05:302010-07-07T19:43:03.108+05:30Makk,
