Re: Dark skin and beautiful * post pics *
Uh, I think you’re looking a bit too much into this. I never said having fair skin is abnormal (this is coming from someone who is quite light). I just meant that Desi skin (be it Pakistani, Indian, Bengali or even Sri Lankan) tends to be tanner. This thread was a spinoff thread from Reha’s thread and I assumed it was for “typical/normal” desi skin colors, meaning colors which are common. I never said finding pale/fair skin girls is a rarity but it’s not as common as the Desi media makes it out to be with our uber-fair actresses/models.
And again, the pictures I posted were the first few hits on Google so the assumption of “dark=dirty/slutty” was entirely you thinking that on your own. Also, the insecurity of dark skin is not just amongst desis but Asians in general. Japan and Korea are known for their obsession with skin lightening. It has nothing to do with people thinking darker skin is dirty/not clean/angelic but everything to do with an outdated concept of class/social status which has been in place for hundreds of years even in Europe when back then having dark skin implied you were a peasant who worked under the scorching sun. That doesn’t imply those these people were thought to be slutty. :halo:
