I think there is some wisdom behind our mothers.

Now I was born and raised here in America, but even I think that typical “Indian color” doesn’t look nice.

Sometimes if you want an honest answer you can look to a child. My brother was looking at some pictures of one to two girls for marriage purposes on his laptop (he doesn’t want too but was kind of forced just to look), my sisters 4 year old son was sitting with him, and all of sudden he yells out “Mamoo she’s too brown” . At that moment my brother started laughing and he deleted the pics (its just wrong to do that).

Now my sister/her husband and their kids are all born in America, and neither have ever even been to Pakistan, there is no Way my sister would have taught him that, she would probably be quite angry if she heard that.

It isn’t that the child has some inherent attraction to light skin. If that were the case, black babies would commit suicide at the age of 3. Just bcos you are raised in the West doesn’t mean that your Pakistani roots or mind set will change completely. I’m born and raised in the US, yet when a black man walks across the street from me I still get a bit on edge. Does that mean black people have inherent bad qualities? No. There’s good and bad in everry bunch. Its all about society and media portrayals. You’re affected daily by some sort of societal pressure/norm. Anyways, I think to say the ‘indian color’ is bad is rather cheap. God made them. Yoou’re probably hideous to some Maori or Nigerian tribe. So don’t pass comments on a certain ‘color’ being bad. No offense.
