" beauty is in the eye of the beholder" what i see as beautiful may not be beautiful to someone else. gora rang is a big issue, i think so anyway, its a big deal being fair and if ur not then its a problem, psychological problems do arise from thinking that because of ur colour u r not as good as the other "fair" person.
i mean o.k maybe it doesnt happen much these days but what about bosses who employ "beautiful" secretaries, so that the woman can compliment the man.
beauty comes from within, i always believe personality matters more, how can anyone judge a person according to what they look like?
u can be fair and not have the looks, u can be dark and be gorgeous, its just society.
dont u think that being dark can affect how u turn out? as a person? would u feel insecure if u were unhappy with ur skin colour?
Love is like a rose, it flowers, withers and dies.
Assalammu Alaikum ppl... how are you all doing?
I remember in one famous pakistani drama "Dhoop Kinarey" in which a hospital had to try to cope with so many casualties because of a bomb that blew in the city and ... well, there was this particular scene where a woman had brought her seriously injured daughter to be treated and she needed an operation... the mum was really upset, by which I mean that she was completely utterly devastated and was wailing and such... and through her ramblings the first thing she remembered and cried out was that her daughter was lightly skinned - "ghora rang"...
Anywayz I'm not sure how it is in real life... but that that scene, I think, was very much plausible to me...
A lost cause, do you think?
I don't want to bore you ppl too much, but I'll try to say the next stuff quickly...
When I was at high school people thought I was not Pakistani. Why? Because I just don't look like one apparently. So I never experienced the kind of hurled insults like "Pakis" which tend to be thrown at anybody with dark skin. I was called a Jew instead. Then I was called an Arab. At roughly the same time Greek students tried to speak to me in greek before they found out that I was definitely not so greek after all.
When I went to Germany to visit a very nice Turkish family, many people asked me my ethnic origin because they just simply could not categorise me so easily... I could be from anywhere . When I replied that I was a pakistani... they said "But you don't look like a pakistani."
To be honest, this was actually quite fun and still is. But one thing I find even more interesting is that peoples way of talking and behaviour usually gives the game away... Strangely enough with me that has actually added to the confusion of people who try to find out where I am from... Because I had a very sheltered upbringing, that seemed to cover some areas of my background... of course, my Urdu has never really been any good... that definitely was a major factor...
So through experience, people do still make an issue of skin colour... some groups of people make it an issue more than others...
So to anybody who has wondered what being really light skinned is like... well there is no big deal about it... sure it can be funny sometimes... but thats about all. It does not confer any real benefits to you where I am in the UK. And thats despite what some groups of people still want to believe.
They shoot partypoopers, don't they?
But one thing I find even more interesting is that peoples way of talking and behaviour usually gives the game away...
I dunno about giving away the ethnic origin but people's way of talking and behavior usually gives away their personality, depth of character and level of education.
Black is BEAUTIFUL!!!!
CROIRE A L'INCROYABLE
Thanks for all your replies guys.
Mr partypooper,
I have also had the same experiences as you. People have this idea that people from pakistan are dark for some reason. When I went away to university poeple belived me to be anything but pakistani (excluding African). I personally felt insulted when they said "you cant be pakistani". There are just so many stereotypes associated us.
Anyways take care all and thanks once again :).
ghalib jee u r so right!! :)
mr partypooper..ur right in that gora rang is no big deal... i get apporached by men who have thought i was arabic, iranian, and all sorts, i just tell em straight that i am pakistani and ask them y on earth they thought i was anything else. i dont know y skin colour makes u different, it shouldnt..u r who u r and the person inside is the most important part, u like someone for their personality not their looks!
:)

I think piyaribachi concluded this thread. Very well poem. In my opinion color should not make any difference. And by the way, beauty does not lie in color. There are many white people who are even uglier than blacks.
I hope you get my point

probably you must be scary looking for a pakistani ofcourse excluding African....
peace :)
Two thoughts:
1) Goray rang ka zamana -- kabhi hoga na purana -- tera tu rang gora haa ;)
2) Sanwali salowni si mehboba --
I like both. ;)
Ok...as a gori...I don't think that I have the upper advantage because of my skin colour..or because my eyes are a different shade then the majority.
I thank Allah for wat He..but sometimes I actually wish..I had a bit of colour to me.....then there won't be the crazy jokes.. "Hinna's a brown wannabe" or "Hinna's too white to be brown" lol :D (btw this smilie looked better without da chapeau!!!)

OKK you guys dont need to tell us if ur white or not caz probably ur point is to tell us how white you are in your post really we dont care. I could talk about how i am but theres no point.
Ok, I've had several experiences where people have called me Egyptian, Saudi Arabian.....an Arab, basically. I know people dont mean to be rude but I find it offensive when people say "oh u dont look Pakistani....."
I remember how surprised my roomate was when i told her that there are Pakistanis that have blond hair, light eyes, extremely light skin etc......
The majority of the Pakistanis abroad are obviously the ones who are darker. But sometimes even Pakistanis forget that not ALL of us look the same. My Saraiki friend in Karachi had blond hair, white skin, light eyes.....people would've thought she was European or something.....but she's pure Pakistani. Or sometimes some people think that maybe we're mixed/biracial or something. But we're not.
Pakistan, itself, is a land of various different cultures and people who obviously have distinct physical characteristics.
i am of the yellow undertone hue for skin and of the red hue for blood.. :D
