Nandita Das: 'Indians are very racist.' - Page 5

Shashi 😆 

But I don't get something! How can Lovely whatever type of creams make you fair? 😕

Isn't it genetics and naturally? U CAN'T White your skin o_O You either has it from birth or you don't! Why are they endorsing and selling wrong products?


Your fair skin can only get tan or may be little bit fair if you keep it away from Sun lights all the time, but that doesn't mean u can change your real skin color.


Once my cousin kept asking me if I am using a lotion for fair skin and till now I made fun of him thinking how the hell lotions can make you fair, but I guess he was talking about this!

so if SRK does a fairness cream ad all Indians become racist... how many Indians she has met in life. ?? 

 

Every Indian who agrees with her is a racist here.  😆

On topic, I agree with what some people mentioned earlier. I wouldn't say Indians are 'racist' but they are rather discriminatory when it comes color. Which is true. It's pretty evident how people will watch Katrina rather someone like Konkona.

Its human tendency nandita, its not just d indians. . Foreign fair skinned people love to get a tan, they have tanning parlors. . Humans chase for things de dnt have, so dark skinned people generally want to b fair, fair skinned want to be tanned, people with curly hair so straightenin and straight hair people get curls. . Its human, . Edited by SarunArshiIpk - 10 years ago

another one who used SRK's name !!!! 😆

BtW that's the reason they used SRK. I just attended a seminar, in which some people were there from this movement, and they accepted that SRK' was being used for publicity. For heaven's sake, although i dont believe in any such thing, if someone give 3 or 4 crore, and ask to say this, i'll merrily do it. Where are people's brain? Are they nuts...? When he says anything about the behavior muslims get here, then anyone hardly agrees, and if he endorses a brand, then people use it..what logic.

Another thing here, obsession with fair tone is from our past, aryans, muslims, and british, all ruled and all were of fairer skin tone.
