Oh God... I hate that sooo much. It's a huge problem especially among the desi communities.
I was talking to my Indian friend a few months ago and she's a BEAUTIFUL and GORGEOUS girl. Nice hour glass figure, big beautiful eyes and beautiful reddish brown hair.
However she is sooo self concious and uses those Fair and Lovely creams. She used to be (( and I believe she still is)) in love with a boy who claims she's ugly. I assume because she has dark skin. Even her mother gets upset if she is out in the sun too long because if she's too dark then she'll be viewed amongst the desi community as unattractive.
It pisses me off to no end. She is a beautiful girl who looks like she belongs on a Parisian run way even though she has very dark skin. But the people in her country seem to prefer plain faced or even ugly girls as long as they have white skin and blonde hair.
I'm not saying that girls with blonde hair and white skin are ugly.I'm just saying that even if a girl's face is unimpressive she is considered more beautiful for her light skin. I just hate how people over look a girl because of her dark complexion.
