    No one talks like this in real life. Discrimination is much more subtle. If you expect these simulated situations to reflect real life situations you are way off the mark. People cannot react so plainly because no one talks or behaves so obviously even if they understand the discrimination. These WWYDs are just Feel Goods to comfort and entertain ourselves.

    I have a comment to make for this video. Racism exists in India much more than any other country. Both in working atmosphere and marriage scenario all the more. Let me tell you the worst affected is the dark male. Because guys are genetically darker than women in general. Lot of guys sitting on top hire fair looking females and guys for job posts irrespective of whether that girl/guy is skilled or not. More so its the fair girl who has all the advantage from the bosses since the older guys on top need some estrogen to keep them going. And those old guys give all this gyan about male-female equality etc while hiring when actually you are insulting a woman or man by not recognizing his/her talent.

    I was working as a property manager in the Gulf because of some personal reasons I came back to India. I am not a engineering background so I am not getting job. I can do the job in property management better than an engineer but I am not getting job in India only because of my education.

    This dark and fair skin discrimination really happens in companies in Bangalore as I’m into marketing and I recruit people. I have heard from candidates that many candidates get rejected for their looks, they even tell me how fair skinned people even with no communication skills get recruited so easily for a higher pay and they are left with no choice except to apply for marketing and call center jobs.

    First of all, this is a copy of an American reality show called What would you do! Second, most of the comments here are from South Indians who have inferiority complex because of their skin colour and some of them think that North Indians better looking because they have fair skin which is a bullshit. Third, not everyone in North India is fair. There are equal number of people with dark skin. Fourth, Indians are colour conscious not racist. Fairer the skin, beautiful the person is. And we all are like this. Even a dark skinned guy, be a North Indian or South Indian, wants to marry a girl with fair complexion. Hundreds of South Indians in US are getting married to white girls. But they don't marry black American girls simply because of their dark skin. So, let's not be hypocrite.

      Nitesh Apte but honestly, dark people look beautiful too. Its just a fucking mentality people have irrespective of thei4 own skin color.

      exactly. If skin color doesn´t matter in todays world why every guy in India is after European white girls? You never see Indian guys after Nigerian black girls.
