You have a healthy mentality. Unfortunately, desi mothers do not share this idea. I know a girl who is milk white, filled with acne which she covers up with makeup, and terrible features (big nose, wide spaced eyes). She’s considered beautiful (“her color makes up for her flaws” says my “wise” mother). However, another girl with a dark, but smooth and silky complexion, petite features, lovely nose is considered “koji” (Punjabi for ugly).

Ok I know this post is really old, but this kind of mentality really isnt…Like seriously? What fault is it of the “gori” girl that she has “terrible” features and bad skin that she needs to be insulted, especially over something that isn’t even in her control???

Not ALL dark skinned girls have great skin and beautiful features and not ALL light skinned girls have bad skin and ugly features and to constantly use this argument just makes the “dark-skinned” person sound all the more shallow and bitter than their “gori” counterpart.
