the news was from sum subsidiary of the official newspaperPerfect example of indian style discrimination against dark skin!
In China, having a dark skin doesn't mean ugly!
The Indian obsession with fairer skin sinks to a new low
The Indian obsession with fairer skin sinks to a new low
THE Indian obsession with fair skin has always been a distasteful phenomenon. The fairness cream industry is gigantic, with men as well as women lathering these silly potions on their faces to make their skin a few shades lighter.
Pregnant women in rural areas believe they will give birth to light-skinned babies if they consume lots of ''white'' dairy products such as milk, cream, yoghurt, and butter. Dark models and actresses struggle for work as their skin isn't regarded as desirable.
Now an Indian company has taken this bizarre self-hating obsession to a new level with a ''feminine'' hygiene product that not only promises to keep a woman's genitalia ''fresh'' but also lighten the skin around the vagina.
India’s obsession with white is big business

It is being called "Snow White syndrome" in India, a market where sales of whitening creams are far outstripping those of Coca Cola and tea.
The implicit assumption by many is this: the whiter the skin, the more attractive you are. John Abraham, a top Indian actor and model, says that "Indian men want to look better".

It's not enough for Indian boys and girls to fear that they won't get a playmate or a spouse or a job because of their unsightly skin-tone. It's not enough that ads should tell women they need their underarm deodorant to include skin-lightening cream if they want to go sleeveless.
Now comes Clean and Dry "intimate wash," which promises women "protection, fairness and freshness" below the waistline. A new ad for the ph-balanced cleanser features an attractive young bride who lacks confidence around her husband, presumably because her vagina is too dark. After one splash of Clean and Dry, however, love blooms anew.
No one can copy Like China .. not even the originals...The Chinese youth of today have taken to rampant, American-style consumerism like nobody's business. Case in point: a 17-year-old boy identified only by his last name, Zheng, has admitted to selling his kidney so he could buy an iPad 2 tablet computer, a wildly popular status symbol among China's young and hip.
This is the very rumor that some self-hating Indian spread amongst themselves, if there is any stereotype, Indian girls as a whole are not considered as ugly but as exotically gorgeous bollywood dancers.this is due to propangda of CCP's papers i read a news in those saying that indian women look UGLY and buy gold to hide their dark skin and uglyness
Chicom mouth piece :Four overseas Chinese who live in San Fernando Valley, the United States were expelled by a white man when playing tennis in a public tennis court in a white neighborhood. The white man drove them with the excuse that he had occupied all the tennis court and some students would come to attend tennis class.

This is the second time I heard Indians complaining about this article.Indian beauties wearing gold jewelry

Without gold nose ring, Indian women won't go out. Recently Indian government plans to issue "paper gold" that is to encourage people to purchase gold reserved in banks. Though buying "paper gold" doesn't mean you can really take physical gold in hand, many Indian still scramble for this, which reflects Indian affection and reliance for gold.
In India it will be considered impolite if women go out without any jewelry. Among all kinds of jewelry, Indians prefer gold ones. Indians have black skin and wearing gold jewelry can highlight this feature. Indian women wearing gold earrings and necklaces can be spotted everywhere. Even those little girls who beg along the roadside with an unkempt appearance have a god nail in the nose.
In India it is also very common that men wear jewelry. Many Indian men wear three rings with large pieces of jewels on them. In wedding ceremony, parents usually choose gold ornaments as daughter's dowry, which not only set off the beauty of the daughter but can also serve as a kind of property in married life. Friends and relatives also present gold ornaments to show their blessings.
Because of the affection of Indian people towards gold jewelry, jewelry shops are everywhere in India. No matter in metropolises or small cities all the most luxuriously decorated and brightly illuminated shops are selling jewelry.
The original article contains nothing negative about Indian women. Don't know why they are taking offence.This is the very rumor that some self-hating Indian spread amongst themselves, if there is any stereotype, Indian girls as a whole are not considered as ugly but as exotically gorgeous bollywood dancers.
Its pure B.S. If its Black then what are Africans considered as? Indians are mostly Dark Brown or Yellow , so to speak in bland language , It may sound racist too , but CCP mouth piece sees no Racism. When you can't differentiate Indians from Africans.making sweeping statements will lead no conclusions.Indians have black skin and wearing gold jewelry can highlight this feature

It is common and scientific, it is just like calling people green, blue, or pink people. we don't discriminate based on race, or races' skin color, we don't have caste in our vocabulary, the Chinese translation of caste is very inaccurate and bearly catch the meaning and implication of this word. ç§å§“, which pretty much translated as race and family name roughly.Can you enlighten us that why this author from your world where people like to call people , Black, White and perhaps yellow and Brown too ?
Or this is very common in Chinese culture ? where as test of the world find this racist for no reason..
this is something lost in translation, we Chinese use the word Black to to refer to darker or deeper color. If a chinese girl have a darker skin she is referred as black.Its pure B.S. If its Black then what are Africans considered as? Indians are mostly Dark Brown or Yellow , so to speak in bland language , It may sound racist too , but CCP mouth piece sees no Racism.

I hope you can take this into your logic next time.

Personal attack means null to me, and bullshit is your fuel, you should not use English language to insult it as well.Use some word like nonsense instead, this makes your remarks decent and culturally neutral if you are so sensitive.
