I was very eager to write this many a times before but was unable to mark my words to it. There is this white colour or fairer colour that we are so obsessed and we become so low in our morale that we shamelessly beg in front of them and obey their rules right or wrong like a bonded labour.
One example when we went to Malya Mall near MG Road in Bangalore and there was this fountain, where if you lay your leg in one of the pores from the fountain water just peeps out of it. Kids just love those…. Now that there were 3/4 white kids playing and also my daughter for some 10-15 minutes, there was no objection from anyone. Moment everybody left and only my daughter was left playing in the water, guard shamelessly came to us and said “Sir children are not suppose to play here”, why didin’t he realize the same when others where playing.
Forget the foreigners or white men/women, when it comes to white color especially in South India, people can do anything to attain color. I had one of my relative who was a bit dark in colour and their parents were looking for a suitable bride. Main criteria was girl should be white, what the hell man ? look into yourself why do you need to keep such a criteria.
There are few girls/boys who (I won’t term them black but sort of dark brownish complexion) have some darkish complexion and they think that bathing for hours and applying loads and loads of soap will make white, so you will find them glued to bathrooms for hours and hours, hoping their complexion changes
Very funny, we talk about racism and all and media blew a big whistle on Shilpa Shetty row in UK, but what about us. At least they are doing it to outsiders; we are doing to our own country men.
