I am a Pakistani girl and I completely agree with what you are saying. I am perfectly content with my skin color and nor do I think I have to be lighter to be considered prettier. Views like that really need to change. Wow, I can relate. My mother is greek, and my dad african, so I have brown skin. Well put and complete! A truth that blatantly exists, that many still choose to ignore and that others still fight tooth and nail to keep as is.
This was really interesting to read, thank you for writing it. Great article but this sentence makes no sense.

This article is interesting and well put. I think its sad that you find yourself inferior to white women, and I agree there needs to be a greater cultural representation in the media of difference across the board. Another one of my favorites lines I get a lot: For a black girl.
Yet oh so prevalent. OR we can all stop being so damn sensitive. I live in a country where everyone is white. The first non-white person I ever saw in person was when I was 16 and visiting London.
So yes, I thought she was exactly that — exotic. Just like kids on the streets saw me when I visited Morocco 2 years after that, pointing at my blond hair and pulling on my clothes out of curiosity.
I genuinely want to know: Brings a lot of negative historical context with it I guess? Not meant as a personal attack! Hahaha, this is one of my pet peeves as well! What is world music?

But do you see white people on televisions in India?
I highly doubt it. And yes, obviously more. Just like men in your country are more with Indian women. But you feel less included because you are less included. Just like if roles were reversed. I love how when someone says that they are not going to be racist, they proceed to say something ridiculously racist. But see I was not saying they do not belong. Maybe, but racist — no.

I’m a Muslim Woman of Color – And Here’s Why I Don’t Date White Men
No, there are a bunch of Indian people in Indian television and movies. I agree with you about the media. Even in Indian films, the white girl is just a distant stranger who dresses a certain way, has certain ideals etc. I want to point out that South America has a large variety of skin tones… there are actually a lot of predominantly white areas due to Spanish Colonization. Some places have shows with mostly white casts, heck they are even fair-skinned-blonde-and-blue-eyed.
Every culture has their own ideas of beauty and none should have to apologise for it. This is a blatant overlooking of the HUGE amount of other racial and ethnic groups that live in the US and rightly call themselves Americans.

Do something about it. Like your comment here, for example.
And what the hell: Her country is, in fact, your country. True American culture is found in the houses of black, Korean, Mexican, Taiwanese, Vietnamese, Bengali, Pakistani, Malaysian, and Indian families who have lived here for more than one generation. We live in the same goddamn country, we have the same goddamn rights. You are no better, no purer, obviously no smarter, and no more entitled than any one of us in the States.
