Re: white skin color
No, i'm saying thats' teh general conception of ppl who r overweight, coz they cant afford healthy food, (burgers alwyas cheaper than a salad), and lazy coz they won tget off their ass and work out and make an effort..
Re: white skin color
So you can’t eat salads so you are eating burgers and getting fat Sara? 
Re: white skin color
Just shut up.. lol.. im sayin its the general attitude and reasoning.. not that I subscribe to that type of thought :p
Re: white skin color
that is unfair to fair people!!
human allways want what they can’t have…whites want to be dark, dark want to be whites…dark haired gals dye their hair, and blond ones color them in black…many examples from our attraction to “opposite”
i guess we tend to focus on what we could have, what we lack instead of what we have…for example a fat girl want to be slim because she thinks that more men will be attracted to her, but slim girls think the opposite…I think we should all try to accept the idea that we can not please everyone, be liked be everyone and be desired by everyone…some people like dark skin, that is fine for dark people, and others like white skin, fine for white people!

Re: white skin color
I agree with the original poster Caucasian/Aryan/European white is most definitely not considered the ideal skin color amongst South Asians, most South Asians I am acquainted with are very happy and proud of their natural complexion it’s the ones who are a Negroid/Black shade of brown who resort to skin lightening treatments.
Generally speaking I think Pakistanis are a goodlooking people whilst Indians are not so goodlooking, most Pakistanis being of Punjabi origin are quite a sexy shade of brown with other hot features, the Pakistanis from Kashmir, NWFP and Balochistan look pretty much just like Persians anyway so obviously they’re very hot and sexy, even people from Sindh and Karachi are quite hot in their own way.
I don’t however usually find other South Asians such as most Indians (except the few from northwestern parts bordering Pakistan), Bangladeshis or Sri Lankans etc. very attractive. People tell me I’m being racist when I say this because Indians are usually darker than Pakistanis but that’s definitely not the reason, Indians just have that other ‘hinduish’ phenotype and a slimy and greasy look to them, I mean Blacks are darker than either of the two but I find them quite yummy and Latinos too are quite yummy.
Re: white skin color

Re: white skin color
Most people of Punjabi origin look the same to me, majority of them are this yummy brown complexion and the ladies are quite gifted when it comes to the chest region.
There are some who look like people of Afghani origin and Iranians and some who look like other South Asians but not many, and Kashmiri’s almost always look like us.. My greatgrandfamilies on both sides are the type of Pashtun origin people who were Persian (spoke Dari), they came from Kabul and settled just across the Abaseen when they bought some land here from a local landlord so all our really close relatives are all here and we consider ourselves Pakistani and mostly speak Urdu but we do still have connections with Kabul Jaan and can speak Dari (Persian), I was there a few weeks ago loved it.
Re: white skin color
So when did they migrate?
You still speak dari?
Are you sure you are not tajik???
Re: white skin color
Maybe they are not white enough.. 
But seriously it depends upon the age (60+ sometimes 50+) that you see their skin start to get brittle and rough. I didn’t “peel off” as in a snake peeling off its skin lol 
Re: white skin color
“Garam Masala” 
Re: white skin color
Surr .. 
Re: white skin color
We have some Tajik mixed in us but we’re of Pashtun tribes. Kabul is mixed and people often intermarry, southerners are usally Pushto speaking but that all is changing, Dari has always been more vastly used and considered superior to all the other Afghan languages.
I think people in Afghanistan should put their ethnicities aside or the beautifull land of my forefathers will bleed to death, we’re all the same. Pukhtu, Tajik, Hazarajat, Uzbek are all brothers to each other. Let bygones be bygones…
We do still speak Dari/Persian now and then but mostly Urdu because we’re Pakistani now.
Many people think that Pashto is only Afghan and Persian is foreign this is not at all true, there are three Persian countries Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Iran. Dari is what I call Afghani Farsi/Afghan Persian.. There is so rich literature from our region in Afghani Farsi and hardly anything in Pashto, Farsi has always been the language of culture, academics and sohpistication whilst Pukhtu the language of sheep herding, all the Afghan elite, even the so called Pukhtun kings spoke Dari and had it as their official language. Dari isn’t just for a Tajik or Farsiwan it’s the language of all Afghans (I call it Afghani Farsi because it sounds better), just like Urdu is the language of all Pakistanis.
Re: white skin color
Many Iranians i know call dari "crude" persian.
Anyway, you forget Azerbaijan :D
Btw, how can afghanistan be persian when it is sunni (iran shia) and afghanistan's pukhtuns (the biggest plurarity) fought and end the safavid irani empire?
Mind you that many of the tajiks, uzbeks are not so long ago arrivals given refuge after being suppressed / driven out by the Tsarist / Stalinist Russia!
Re: white skin color
Iranians are just gay, it's not that our dialect is crude, it's that their's is overtly effeminate. :D
Our Iranian friends here have no problem understaning us and we them.
Shia/Sunni has nothing to do with ethnicity or language. Persian has always been the main language amongst Iranian different ethnic groups and always will be and anyone who speaks Persian is Persian.
Re: white skin color
Poor Sara! 
Re: white skin color
^^ So going by that logic, tajiks should be iranian but I heard from former refugees up here, iranians in iran don’t look highly upon afghani refugees (even their co-religionist shi’ite hazaras).
Why is that???
