Race & Caste: Skin bleach, Matrimonial ads & the fallacy of gender, race, class IDs

A hard discussion I know, and I am already prepared for the nasty comments from those who defend tier caste and racial status.

@fall4fellatio We must boycott those folks who tell Indians that being Indian is ugly (yet there is a market fix). Have you noticed that SRK is starting to show the signs of a heavy-skin bleach user? Yes, he's got the tale-tale dark spots on his cheeks, and the mismatched color all around.

@diepiriye

being indian is not ugly

come on

look at me...........lolz, jokes apart

i was very much against ur views earlier but in my office i have a team of african people, boys and girls, i talk to them, but the reactions i see from some of my colleagues are disturbing.

i take my words back. just because i do not think that way does not mean others do not.

I am removing the video "racism in india my foot"

@fall4fellatio No, being India is not ugly, and we should tell SRK to stop saying so! That's no joke. I am also glad to hear that you have reached out to your African colleagues. Off all the things that you could say, I am most struck by the fact that there is greater space for dialogue between you & I, between you & others, between people across physical differences or virtual distances. Speak with all your colleagues -regardless of difference. it only broadens all your worlds. Let them laugh.

God, society is so complex it gives me a headache sometimes.

Yes, I think that Josephine Baker was aware of her mockery, but I actually wonder if Beyonce is that aware!?! She seems just tickled about her light skin and long weave, Not even bold enough to wear her own hair like her little sister.

@fall4fellatio Well said.

[fall4fellatio]

@1airhawk

but we have to live in the society

so we have to be "in-the-society" to change the society

@diepiriye

sorry for late reply

now i understand how u felt that day

i am sorry for being a little aggressive towards u

but it was not because of any hostility but it was simply cuz i was offended by ur views cuz i never thought that way.

i was a student back then, i am working now, so i get to see the "real" world now

[fall4fellatio]

and i apologise for putting opinion over information

@maulpreylion Indeed. The mulatto woman is the throw away woman for black and white men to lust after, but not marry because she's got no daddy no one to take care of her. It's an awful stereotype that sits at the core of 'race' because OBVIOUSLY mixed race people stand in the face of social division. People won't be divided, regardless of the rules, and mixed race people force that issue in the minds of many.

@lavinder11 OK!
