Through advertisements, films and everyday life, women in India are constantly told that fairness equals beauty. Where did we get this idea? What does this do to women with dark skin? And where do we go from here?
This documentary was created as a student project by Anuja Premika, Desiree D’Souza and Neha Joshi, students of Masters of Arts in Mass Communication and Journalism, St. Francis College for Women, Begumpet, Hyderabad.

All of these beautiful women getting called “ugly” because of their skin tone. I cant even believe how messed up society is
All societies and women always so judged on beauty alone.
@@camil9450 but skintone doesn't define beauty.🤔
People has such a weird mindset!🙄
ooh believe me indian society is worse
but here's the thing; mom said that when I was born, people told her I should be sent to a beauty pagent. A BEATY PAGENT! Good to know mom has a brain and a heart unlike most back then...
duuuuude, the baby oil advertisement is soul-crushing. they're babies!!! why are people putting beauty standars to babies?!
@Taylor & Cerra
I've seen people bash babies for looking like middle aged men. It's mostly jokes though, so tis normally okay.
But I can never unsee it.
I never liked these commercials
Miki Kiki that’s different because everyone was a baby once so we can joke about it
@@em-st2kq
I've seen people put their babies in make up and cut their food, please take a moment to realize I said MOST of it are jokes. It's not okay.
Miki Kiki no i meant the saying babies have weird head shapes and stuff is okay because we all had that head shape once and they’ll grow out of it
this isn't just India problem. The whole Asia has the same opinion about colorism. I am from SEA and people always discriminate for having brownish skin
Meanwhile in my country, being tanned is beautiful..
@@シエナとケイト which country are you from
Is it an asian country?
@@harshitaverma7505 nope, is an European country
i'm from SEA too!, and that is sadly but true. i cannot stand the racism in my country.
@@singbin Me either. Its absurd to judge someone based on pigmentation. The problem is beauty standard becomes too center into fair skin in my country.
*Black is everyone's favorite color until its comes to skin*
because black colour is not bright and radiant
@@thatkidwholovesfighting7638 That is what you believe. There are a lot of black-skinned women in Ghana where i come from whose skin tone is soo shiny it almost looks like glistening silver dust is thrown on their skin. Human skin colour if taken care of properly has a gloss and shine to it. Fair skin can be dull also.
@@NanaNyarko1993 I’ve seen that popular girl from Somalia, she’s an Instagram model ig! Oh boy! She’s so so beautiful like I can’t even explain!!!
@@thatkidwholovesfighting7638
I can’t tell if you’re talking about colour or skin…
@@rpcsa8 neither can I to be honest- 🤷♀️
People still believe that colourism doesn't exist it's just sad
My sister is a few shades darker than me ,there was aunty who came up to me and said you are lucky you fairer than your sister it will be easier for me to find a man than her . Like what the hell
Yes We are both different shades of brown that doesn't mean one person is less better or less prettier than the other
U should tell her u feel disgusted because she thinks fairness will bring a guy and she doesn't saw ur inner personality and also your sister's
Why are these people even exists.... I think dark skined girls are more pretty maybe just my thought but everyone is pretty...
This is disgusting
I'm constantly told that it's good I'm not 'too dark' bc i have brown skin but it's bright so it looks like really tanned white skin. I'm told 'youre features are nice if only you were fairer, any girl will be with you'
and guess what aunty?
I D O N T C A R E
Yes I can relate to you very well
My older sister is a few shades lighter than me ( just 1 or 2 I guess) and whenever my grandmother came to visit she just said " hmm you look kinda dull and your sister lookes fair maybe you are just tanned" maybe it was meant as a joke because everyone laughed .....
Later ( after a few months ) I was done with my class and I felt that my face was sweaty so I washed it when when I came out my grandmother say me and said " hmm you look lighter than usual ,even lighter than your sister" so after that moment I always felt the urge to watch skincare routine and use an ample amount of facewash just because it made me look "fair"
Shreeya Sharma That’s so toxic. Hope you’re ok with your color now. Unbelievable how this weird fairness fetish is still a thing in the 21st century
"If people one day woke up and became happy with themselves imagine how many industries would run out of business"
edit: if you want to change yourself that's completely up to you, I think that all skin tones are beautiful. the problem is that society makes us feel bad about who we are so that we can buy their products.
@Incredible India ok sure
thats so funny
😂 they deserve to be ruined. Making money out of people's sentiment and bullshit society is disgusting 😡
Agree
That's deep..
Its painful when the parents starts to compare their children with fairer siblings and they forget the fact that the kids got the dark tone from them.I believe that beauty is not in skin color.Beauty lies in a person's character and their acts.when we start to love someone they become beautiful to us, no matter whether they are black/white ❤️

Absolutely correct.
😂👍
It's so weird that western countries women want to be tanned ,but Asian girls want to be white as snow ❄️🙄
Yeah...
You realize that this beauty standard doesn’t make any sense
Because people never can understand the value of what they have
Yet when you are naturally tan in America because of your race, you are discriminated against
Everyone likes what they don't have ... forgetting to respect what they have!
@@clips_a_la_menthe its my of our nature really. we want something we dont have. for instance, ppl with straight hair want curly hair, people with curly hair want straight. ppl that are dark want lighter skin, people that are white want tanner skin
Omg, the baby fairness products is the worst thing.
Makes me sad
Makes me angry. Pouring chemicals on the baby skin. Telling them they are not good enough from a very young age
I just screamed at my screen 'WHY?!'.
Literally it was such a hawwww moment like i mean not kids? Leave kids out of this atleast?!
Appalling !
My 5 year old niece doesn't like darker people, doesn't like her own skin colour because she is not fair enough. Worst is that these twisted ideas are getting reinforced when she moved to India from the US. Her own grandmother has said some stupid things to her about "being clean & fair" that we had to nip in the bud. Things are improving, she sees and hears us talk about our beautiful brown skin and now her fav song to sing with me is Beyonce's " Brown skin girl".
omg how adorable i bet she is beautiful
This warms my heart. I'm so glad she has someone like you to act as a positive influence and teach her the importance of self love💛💛💛
This saddens me because when I was younger (im12rn) I thought because I was Indian i wasn’t beautiful and my culture wasn’t cool. Now only I appreciate all the wonderful things I have and how my skin is beautiful
There were so many adverts with only white/light skinned people and that needs to change. All skin is beautiful
Oh thank God for u!! Please! We need more people like u in the world to help convince people that these sort of mindset is stupid and unhealthy!! Thank u for being a big brain!! 🖤🖤
Krishna was considered as the most darkest and handsome boy in his Ages. The scriptures went to such an extent to describe how dark he was. But why does today's television shows his skin complexion as milky white?.
Panjali is supposed to be dark complexion as well. The television likes to show her fairer than most of the characters there are
India is so fuckin racist to the point that they even changed the skin colour of a god. What a bunch of pathetic mindsets
@@xeferoria Exactly! Draupadi had the darkest skin complexion ever - sometimes compared to Krishna's skin complexion and even called Krishna herself. Yet, she's also described to be stunningly beautiful.
At least no one messed up Kali's skin tone.
@DEEPAK KUMAR why should i mind my words when i am simply spilling the truth?? Do you have any idea that this is also one of the reasons why india became a racist country?
@@bikashth8539 are you indian?
Why to be 'fair and lovely' when you can be 'dusky and sexy'😏
Sorry if I offend someone. Sexy is in sense of compliment obviously and not sexualizing
and 'dusky and sexy' rhymes too..

My daughter is just like her dad... Fair.. so people tell me that thank god she picked her father's color not mine...
Keep your head up, your crown is falling queen! 👸🏿
Oh my god, I am the daughter of two indian parents and my mother is dark whilst my father is light, I’m the only light daughter in my family and I take after my father....everyone also says that to my mum
Tell them you are growing her so she doesn't pick their sick mentality.
Oh my god whats even is this how can they say smth like this please don’t listen to them dark skin is beautifull✨💖🍀
That's so Juhi omg that’s so sad 😰
Skins don’t matter! Looks also don’t matter!
Anybody remember how back in school, teachers select fair skinned girls for reception ceremony, anchoring, welcoming people and even dance.
edit: it's sad that so many people reates to this. Don't let them push you down. Keep going 💞
Yes, I do sadly..
Once..i felt very bad because all my friends where chosen to give roses to the guest of honour as they were all fair and beautiful and I the teacher basically told me I wasn't good looking without telling me duh
@@cherrybombxoxo1865 it's okay girl, if they are stupid enough to judge people by colour, only thing we can do is to pray God blesses them with some common sense.
Non only that , body shamming also. To be acted as Angels , girls were chosen who were fair and without having curvy bodies.
Sadly, it happen in my country too...
It happens now also....Many times it happened to me....
" Accepting our flaws" That alone is insane. Being dark is not a flaw!
Accepting our differences.
Wow! You took the words out of my mouth. And this is coming from the Assistant Professor of Psychology? WTH
Omg I was just about to say this!!!!
Yeah! I mean, I was with her till the very end, but when she said "Accepting our flaws" I was like WHAT!? You completely ruined the build up, the positivity of the entire video by saying those three words
She isn't fair herself, which is not a bad thing, but does she see it as a flaw? Think before you speak ma'am!
One of my relative was making fun of my sister because of her dark skin ..
Guess what ?
I kicked him out ...
Proud of you 🙌💞
Served them right 😂😂
Well done dude, i have MAJOR respect for you
As you should 💅
🙂
I'm Chinese, but I'm very tan. I grew up having my aunties and uncles saying, "You're so dark! Look at your cousins, they're so fair. Why are you so dark?" Growing up, I really disliked my skin tone. I even bought whitening/brightening sheet masks and used it every week. Of course, they didn't work. I eventually threw out the idea of being fair is beautiful and learned to love my skin colour.
Unfortunately, this standard of beauty is prevalent all over Asia. Not just in India, but Japan, China, Korea, Philippines, Thailand, India, Vietnam etc. It needs to stop because there are young girls and women going to extreme lengths to whiten their skin tone.
i feel you on so many levels , my family member tends to treat me differently because of my skin tone.
Bruh, off-topic but I'm learning Chinese. How do you guys learn all the 5000+ words? I've learnt Japanese and Korean as well but Chinese is not an easy one... Love from Germany.
i'm from part of the asian countries but in the southeast side. and yep thats tru af. our beauty standard here is either white or fair skinned, and if u have dark skinned, you'll be made fun of being dark skinned. because ppl here sees dark skinned girl as unattractive and ugly.
@@silverlegends6653 No worries haha! Most Chinese and Japanese people don't know all the characters. Korea has there own writing system, and I don't know much about it so I can't say. I haven't learned all the Chinese characters myself, as I was born outside of China. But what helps me to remember a lot of characters, is to learn the origin of the characters and each part. Each section of Chinese characters comes from somewhere and has it's own meaning. I also learned Japanese, and for me it's way more difficult than Chinese haha!
in Asia people tend to like "fairer" skin better than darker or tan skin
I am indian Australian born and raised in Australia my original background is from north India my mums skin complexion in light and my biological fathers skin in Darker my skin shade is like my dads but slightly lighter and my younger brothers is like my mums but slightly lighter growing up my mum always told me how dark my skin is ( I am currently 12 ) I never really thought of it much because I loved darker and tanned skin my mum started comparing my shade to my younger brother saying his skin is so nice and MY NAME when you have hair in our face - like a messy bun you look like a witch dark brown hair on dark toned skin
even people at school make fun of me your brothers so much nicer than you and lighter than you why do you look like that why is your skin shade so dark
Honestly the baby oil ad was so disgusting like wtf
Right? Making adults feel like they have to put harmful chemicals on their skin to be beautiful is bad enough in itself, but marketing that stuff to be put on small children? Just horrifying
Fr. Fr. That one was just disturbing. Imagine rubbing lightening oil on your baby 😫
Yes that one horrified me, I mean its bad enough that adults would feel unhappy about their natural colouring to try and change it, but to market such a product for a baby is truly disturbing.
What’s the time stamp so I can skip it
It made me so fucking angry
"She is pretty even she is dark" most irritating phrase i have ever heard
Yeah it's too much of a common compliment nowadays. And they think that would make us feel better
"Karupa irunthalum kalaiya irupaa "

6:54 "There was this boy I liked and he didn't liked me back because of my skin color"
All my crushes called me crow and ugly as well as nicknamed me Akon because I was a dark skinned girl. Got bullied in school mostly by boys because of the color of my skin. Imagine the whole class laughing at you every single day. Even was humiliated by teachers. Went from a happy and smart extrovert to an anxiety filled suicidal introvert at the ripe age of eleven. Never dared to like any guy after that. I'm probably gonna die single because of my trauma...
Those people are HORRIBLE and they were projecting their own self hate on you. You need to know that darker skin tones appeal to many people. You know the saying "the grass is always greener on the other side" same goes for skin tone preferences across cultures. Someone out there will see you as the most beautiful girl they ever saw. But please believe in yourself and don't let the past haunt you.
@@nouf1073 thank you so much 😭
@@sibanimajhi You're welcome

i hate how the speakers still referred to loving your "flaws" as though dark skin was a flaw. just goes to show how much work we still need to do as a society.
Yea I noticed that too 😔
We have so far to go sis... 🤦🏽♀️
Y'all are so harsh on her. English is not her first language. She probably just use the word incorrectly. But at the end we all know what she meant. The message still stands
keisha w. I mean- MULTIPLE people referred to dark skin as being a flaw. Once is a mistake, twice is a coincidence, 3+ times is an actual problem.
@@aishwaryajayaraman1791 When society tells you that dark skin is a flaw, you will quote them as a way to say "my "flaws" as you so eloquently put it, are beautiful and I embrace them" sometimes the way people say one word is different. Black people use the n-word positively nowadays, but it's still offensive when people of other races say it because we have weaponised the word they used to tear us down, and now we can use it, but they can't. If you say "flaws" to show that you're neither scared, nor offended by their titles, the meaning will change. Don't always go on the defense... Take an attack and throw it right back.

“Improve our skin tone” being whiter isn’t an improvement omg it’s just a variation of skin tone there’s no skin hierarchy
For sure!
There is, it's just that it's immoral and hurtful. 😔
obviously there is a skin hierarchy. who wants to have dark skin? everyone wants to go lighter.
@@IRGhost0 Say that to the thousands of white girls fake tanning every day.
There is no skin hierarchy, just people being conditioned to think so.
@@sambitachoudhury5905 right, but that’s just a fad. because it’s not all about skin color. they might change the skin color to darker for fun, but they know they still have attractive faces and nice hair, so it’s not a big deal.
And here in Europe, I used to get bullied almost every day for my pale skin :/ ‘you look like a ghost’ ‘are you sick?’ ‘Go outside for once, lazy’ etc. Why can’t societies just love themselves the way they are? It seems people are always trying to change themselves to be perfect, when perfection does not exist
People want things they dont have. In countries where dark is the standard "they" (corporations that make money from selling this products) make a a lot of money y pushing this ideas of how lighter is better so people buy this products to fit to whats considered as part of the beauty standards. In countries where standard is lighter they do the same but instead with Fake tanning products.
As much as we want to stop this, the people behind the companies and those who allow this companies to promote this need to be stopped.
Yeah
Same I'm very pale too and it's sad
Aren't Europeans white? Are you a Redhead, Albino or grew up in a non-white place?
I’m an American white man of Scottish decent and they used to call me “mighty whitey” in high school since my legs were very white, they’d say “I need sunglasses to be around you Kevin!”. But according to this video it seems I won the lottery in looks. Weird.
Honestly, fair and lovely ruined our country
I wanna make a series of foundation called dark and bold
Srishti Singh why wear ant at all ? Why not focus on natural beauty instead ?! Unless to cover blemishes or moles etc
@@k8lynmae Yeah! I mean i dont wear foundation cause My skin starts burning so the doctor said to not wear makeup....So I dont....But you know fashion is something I really wanna do, So I wanna make such a foundation for dark girls/boys in the world!

The strange thing is: In European countries, the beauty standard is actually darker skin. Everyone wants to get a tan! Why do people always want what they don't have instead of just accepting the way they are!
@Aquib Marthya I think we all here can agree that Japanese are superior nation cos they understood the true meaning of life /s
That’s a joke don’t @ me
That’s money money money
Like do you know what was the reason for normalising shaving legs for women? Companies just want that cash that’s why they abuse people’s insecurities about their look. Well actually it’s mostly women’s insecurities.
Was that’s insecurities artificial or had long time history in particular ethnicity is another thing.
Our job is to normalise that every person is beautiful without exceptions
For anyone that’s interested, here’s a little history lesson:
In pre industrial revolution Europe’s beauty standards were actually pale white skin, because it meant that you didn’t have to work outside and could relax at home, meaning good societal and financial status.
This even goes back to ancient Europe for example the Roman Empire, where pale skin was the beauty standard for women (interestingly for men it was the opposite; if a Roman man wasn’t tan, it meant that he was unmanly).
This only changed during the industrial revolution in the 1850‘s, when traveling got a lot easier. Because the high society was able to spend their holidays in tropical countries, they now often got a lot tanner than the regular people. This changed tan skin from a symbol of poverty, to a symbol of wealth, which made it the new beauty standard.
@Aquib Marthya maybe it's instinctual. Genetic diversity actually makes animals healthier. Mutts are a lot healthier than purebreds because of the more diverse genes. Less hip dysplasia and heart problems. Idk what I'm talking about tho, just throwing ideas around.
I can understand that it used to be like.. in darker skinned countries/countries with a lot of sun 'lighter skin is more desirable because it means the person is wealthy enough to not work in the fields' and for white countries its 'a tan is more desirable because they have the wealth to travel'
But I dont understand racism or colourism at all..
Can you imagine being as stunning as these women and being put down for your looks??
lol for real, some of them looked like models
"A woman cannot say that I'm dark and beautiful because society will laugh at you." I felt that-
Deepika, kajol, bhumi, swara, beyonce, Rihanna all are dark and beautiful.
@@meaculpa5563 Periodt!!
@@meaculpa5563 but using makeup to cover their original colour. That doesn't define beauty
@@meaculpa5563 bhumi is fair....she just painted her skin in bala...but she isn't dark....kajol WAS dark in the 90s but has undergone so many skin treatments that she is fairer than most ppl today... Rihanna and Beyonce are as a matter of fact black women but then the country we are talking about is India
I felt it too!
Exactly the same situation in China. People worship pale skin.
Same with Korea. When you're even a bit darker shade than them you'll be deemed unattractive.
Same with korea
i would just like to say asia in general. they're like that in taiwan, china, korea, singapore, vietnam, etc. i don't see it being too heavily influenced in the philippines or thailand but definitely the ones i mentioned. i am dark myself (native american), so i know what it's like. it's kinda sad that i am grateful my nieces and nephews are all fair skinned - that sucks to say. but at least they won't have to deal with colourism.
Cheyenna Philippines is actually highly overrated with people wanting to be fair, they use illegal whitening products with mercury 100 thousand times over the legal limit, all skin colours are beautiful though and i hope the world changes the way they look upon different people and races.
Same in Brazil. They are obsessed with tanning, but white tanned people are prettier on most of people view
Everyone deserves love and respect no matter their race, gender, sexuality etc. It’s ridiculous people think they are better than others just because they’re different. Why do they get to decide who’s beautiful?
Love this comment so much!❤️
I wish there were more people like you 🥺
I agree with you on everything except the sexuality part people that be fucking dogs and that into children def don’t deserve love and respect

"Dark isn't beautiful"
Really? I find people with dark, people with medium color skin, people with light skin, and people with extremely dark skin so beautiful
I think it depends on the country
the most beautiful girl in the world is dark-skinned i think.
I saw a picture of a model that was really really dark and she as one of the most prettiest women I have ever seen. I think she was from Kenya, and she was wearing silver which made her catch my eye. She was shining
it's so frustrating that so many people shun and look down upon people with a darker skin tone just because of their color

True. Although it does not help with the stigma around darker Africans. Sadly,I as a Ghanaian can unfortunately say that I have several times felt ugly because of my darker skin tone. And it's not easy because my mom is mixed (fair) but my dad is fully Ghanaian (very dark). I sometimes wish that I took after my mum.
@@MichelleAsiama noo. you're beautiful. i really wish i was tanner than i am...
Wow!
Honestly, India can only become better once people start accepting themselves for what they have and who they are. I can’t believe that there are men out there that request for only fair brides, without even considering personality and kindness. Honestly what matters the most is beauty on the inside, not the outside. This applies to everything, not just skin tone. I had a friend who was very overweight, and she barely had any friends. She would usually sit under a tree and read a book. I walked up to her, and bam 💥, we instantly became friends. She explained her situation to me, and I suddenly felt for her. She was truly a kind and beautiful girl, and I am so glad I became friends with her! Love yourself!
By that sense, India isn't going to be a better place for at least 70 years.
@@Surya-jz6te not with that attitude, it won't
according to matromonial survey 70% women wanted fair husband
This is definitely eye opening! As a makeup artist in the US it’s difficult to work with Indian women due to them asking for shades that are clearly to light for them. I try my best to give them my professional opinion and explain that it would look better to match their skin exactly, but they keep insisting the lighter ones are better which is just so frustrating. I feel so sorry for people that feel the pressure to change their naturally beautiful skin.
Also this should apply the other way around too! Let’s not forget in the US we LOVE to look way darker than our natural pale selves. We spend so much money on self tanner, bronzers, and even risk skin cancer by sun bathing/tanning beds. We all should do better!
Ohhh right that's why I often see videos of brides doing their make up with very pale-white foundations !!! :( I wish they could understand they are beautiful the way they are !!!
So very very true
Totally true! We all should embrace the skin we were born with!
Ironic isn't it ??

This is an issue in the middle east as well. They still claim that "we don't discriminate" while they treat darker skinned girls as the last option for marriage, make fun of them constantly and keep reminding girls that they're not "as beautiful as the white European women".

Brèagha Saudi Arabia and the UAE were ruled by the British indirectly as a protectorate. Just like some Indian princely states were under indirect British paramountcy as protected states and protectorates. Not all of India was under British rule.
@@averyy6681 You're right. Nearly all of the MENA region was colonized by European powers. This includes Saudi Arabia and the UAE. They were under British suzeranity and their oil reserves made them all the more valuable to them as well.

I literally heard my teacher tell a dark skin boy to stop talking to a fair girl and go talk to a someone dark like him. PS(we're all African)
The question you should ask is why was he discriminating against the dark girls?
What thats horrible what are they trying to do make an apartheid system in a school ew actually disguisting behaviour.😣
Moxie LaDaVinci if recherche told the boy to talk to someone dark as him it meant the white girl was “too good for him” and someone with darker skin would be more suitable.
From what I understood.
not all Africans are darkskinned though✨
@@Lottiya that man sound sick in the head
To all those men that were looking for “fair, beautiful women” your going to be lonely forever until you realize how beauty is who the person is... not what size, color or shape they are
I don't think it's just about what is mens prefer, it's more than that. The problem is within the entire society.
It's not just the men. More than the men, it's the men's PARENTS that put up these ads. And the skintone of the bride is seen as some kind of bragging point, so the parents insist on a fair female. It's pathetic.
same goes to women as well
Anjali Dandriyal First world people don’t have these problems.
Not just men, some women do this too.
The fact that they're trying to put these detrimental creams on their _children_ is so, so sad omg.
Honestly I'm a fair skin girl from North India. I'm pretty open minded and support all shades of colour. But recently I got tanned and I was shocked to see myself going "brown". My mom too was panicking and asked me to do several processes to remove the tan because I was been told that I look like a girl from "Bihar" and not "Delhi". This was pretty offensive. But now I've completely accepted and calmed down of my present appearance. It's a truth that when your skin colour changes, you dont but but the worlds way of looking at you changes.
Pakistan have this same issue, literally EVERYONE wants to have a fair skin. Me and my sister once went to buy foundation from a local store (bcz its affordable and also famous brands don't sell their products here, only fake brand products so we have to deal with it) my sister was trying to like match foundation with our skin colour (bcz we have almost same skin colour) and an employee was helping us chose, then we selected a colour and then the employee literally told us to buy the lightest shade and was like this matches you and we were like b!tch what. Even my 7 year old cousin said she puts on fair and lovely to be fair.
NORMALIZE DARK SKIN COLOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's important to have healthy skin..Indian sub continent has seen use of turmeric, sandalwood, gram flour as facepack for ages.. unfortunately in today's age these product are advertised only as home remedies for skin lightening it is just meant to remove tan if u happen to be in sun for long.it does not change persons colour...and basically it does so much more for skin..it improves skin texture better than any cosmetic.. requesting ur cousins to use it for its health benefits although there is some slight change in color, I have tried myself.
True, I’ve seen those commercials so many times, even sometimes your closest relatives start buying thise products for you and saying that your skin is too dark. 😔 it’s just sad
I remember my grandma would tell me to use fair and lovely so I don't get dark, and my dad would tell me to use brightening soaps. I was like 6-7 years old and I'm still thinking "wtf?"
I used to think fair was beautiful only but now I feel I was so wrong and every race is beautiful
This major problem is all over in Asia.
This same issue exists in Thailand as well. Skin whitening products are everywhere from glutathione injection in beauty clinics to drinks claiming to make skin lighter. I sympathize with you guys so much India. Hope people would stop stigmatizing dark skinned color someday. Every color, every person is beautiful, let's embrace our unique traits. By the way, Indian people are stunningly beautiful! Lots of love from Thailand.
Well! This is totally a new revelation to me. I never knew.. thank you for sharing this. ❤️
I think people everywhere in the world tend to justify it by saying that white is what makes you look good. even in my house where my parents and my younger siblings would call me names on a every day basis and make me feel inferior just because I don't waste my money on buying products making me fairer I on the otherhand want only a clear skin free from acnes and spots but people don't tend to except the facts personally for me i like darker skintones more than fairer skintones maybe its because I am one of them with a dark skin tone..
Not only in India...but also in other east Asian or south east Asian countries..I have been to Korea for at least 5times ..and every time I go I have seen Korean girls putting so much whitening cream that their colour of the face is much lighter than there body colour...
Thailand is a little different. Don't you have a worse issue of gender changing products and huge number of Ladyboys? How will society accept dark skin when it barely accepts it's gender.
@aditya sai, lmfaoo it’s the 21st century my dude! Are we still not over homophobia?! We should rather be appreciating their country for how open minded they are towards accepting their sexual orientation.
Funnily enough, in Italy everyone's crazy about tan. People spend an awful amount of time under the sun just to have a darker skin, in total desregard of the health and we also go to tanning salons. Great video, greetings from Italy
This makes me want to move to Italy now- lol
@Sonia Nevermind To be honest people in italy get discriminated for their skin color on a daily basis.. Italians like tan tones only during the summer and only on themselves.. i mean if you are naturally tan and dark bc you're not european that's gonna be a big NO (of course i'm not talking about all italians, there are a lot of Italians who love diversity and different colors, especially the new generation) I'm north african and I personally have a lot of relatives in italy who suffer from racism from a small age... but beyond that, Italians are the sweetest people in the world I promise

When I was in kindergarten, a very fair boy would ask me everyday "Why are you so dark? Don't you bathe using soap?" So he was thinking that dark skin is some sort of a problem, and that it is dirty. I remember going home and scrubbing my skin raw. I told this to my mother whose response was 'No you're not dark'. (Didn't help me much)
And all of this continued for 3 long years throughout my kindergarten. So naturally I grew up to be very insecure about my appearances. That bullying didn't stop after kindergarten. I changed school and was horrified to see that boy in my class again. He kept on saying nasty things about my complexion for 5 more years. One day I decided I have had enough. I complained to my class teacher who scolded him in front of the class. He never spoke to me again.
Colourism starts from our homes. My father is fair while my mother is darker. My grandmother, everytime she visits us has the same thing to say 'I thought you would be fair like your father but you picked up your mother's skintone.' And she says this in front of my mother. I can't even imagine what she must be feeling. Now I just don't care who's in front of me, if they talk about me and my mother, I either shout at them or say something witty to shut them up.
So terrible... wish you and your mother all the strength!
Yessss keep up the confidence!!! ♥️♥️♥️
@Lashawnda Stephens I wanted to do the same. But one week back, out of nowhere he popped up and apologised for what he did to me back then. So I forgave him. It was very surprising.
Yes,You should speak up..people might say that you don respect elders etc,but together we can change the world
Tell her that fair skin will be eaten by worms when they die like a dark skin. Worms don't care same as death. Neither worms or death care if you are dark skin or light skin. But you know what would matter a brain to make medicine to live longer.
One day I was standing outside... An aunt in my neighborhood called me and she litteraly adviced me to use alovera over my skin coz my skin is darker than my family...I was literally very pissed at that time, it was the first time I was so conscious about looks and colour.. I was in football team of my school so tanning was something so natural to me...just bcoz her granddaughters are fair she come and say so...That really broke me at that moment..I was 14 at that time....I was even ashamed to tell anyone about this at that time and was feeling guilty like I did a crime..
My cousin she is a bit too dark so in my family everyone refers to her as kali mata ... while the one who is fair is called as a beauty.... I'm so done with it ... when so many people judges u ...it hurts
I remember my 8 th grade teacher asking me"why are you so dark" And I replied "it was melanin" But that was nt why he was asking the question, he wanted to feel better about himself.
Sad to hear Teacher like this exist
Should've asked them instead: why are you so ugly?
I had school teachers who used to pick up fairer students to felicitate chief guests, give speeches, participate in inter school competitions and in college we had teachers (in their late 20s) who used to flirt with fairer and slimmer students (who were probably 16,17) colorism and pedophilia hand in hand, i was too young to understand at that time, but when i look back now, i realise how messed up things really are

Being a dark skinned Indian girl, from a very young age the first thing someone would tell me as soon as they saw me was "YoU kNoW...i KnOW tHiS AwESoMe REMedY tO gEt BrIgHt SkIn iN 3 dAyS". That honestly gave me the idea that my skin color was not acceptable and made me want to do everything possible to make myself lighter...I did this even though I love my dark skin and I think its what makes me beautiful. Recently, I have embraced self love and tell the people to keep their ''remedies'' to themselves.
Everyone is beautiful no matter what skin colour. Period.
Kate Hindley awe I am tan
Milky Chip same tan skinned girl here plus I’m Indian
Hey@Sardonicus, I totally get where you're coming from, and you're right! People aren't always beautiful in the way society views them and that's fine. But what I'm saying is that beauty is down to the eye of perception. What I mean is you might find that lady you described ugly, but her partner might think she's beautiful. Are they biased? Yes, but that doesn't change the fact that they do find her beautiful. I mean that everyone is beautiful because they are unique, and honestly I'm not talking about appearances. I'm saying everyone is beautiful because of their personalities and unique quirks. And that's why appearances and skin colour doesn't matter. There are gorgeous people of all skin colours, and they are even more beautiful due to who they are. I hope that makes more sense.
Oh and also, I don't think that you have to be conventionally beautiful to be beautiful because conventions change. In the 1700s it was beautiful to be plump and rosy cheeked. Now it's totally different and that's fine. What I meant in my previous comment is that I think that all skin colours are beautiful

The caste system is the worst
@@sarahjustice526 what''s the cast system?
@@asiah1354 I'm personally not of a culture with a caste system in its history, but from what I know, it's a societal construct of where you belong in life. According to predetermined things that you can't control, like who your parents are, you are placed in a specific class. The lower you are in the caste system the more disrespected you are and the higher you are in the caste system (ex royalty) the more you are respected. I think it has to do with religion and reincarnation as well because some believe that you are born into the caste you belong in depending on who you were and what you did in your past life. Basically, it's a system where it is really hard to move up in life if you are from a lower caste. Officially it's not necessarily enforced legally, but it has been in place for so long that people still follow it.

Yes, in Indonesia this is happen too. Girls and woman become obsessed with fair or pale white skin because K-Pop or K-drama influences. Many of my friends becoming obsessed to have fair skin so they will match with their Bias. So in my group of friends, only two people that still have brown skin. They also feel being judged by other woman especially when their go to Cosmetic store to buy some makeup foundation. I tell you in my country, it so hard to find match colour foundation especially if you are have brown or dark skin. Sometimes you have to pre-order it, at the online store , to buy colour of darker foundation, then wait for 2 or 3 weeks to get that shade.
When they do have that colour match with our brown or dark skin at Cosmetic Store, the prices is sooo much more expensive than fair or pale shade, it can be 3x than normal prices of fair shade foundation.
U know some people in my country hate k-pop and k-drama cause this so called fair reason.
They r like they hate cause again it motivates these ppl to judge on skin colour.also plastic surgeries even Indians it self invented it.

There are fair people too, it doesn’t mean that you will only include only dark people, talent deserve chances.
Imagine having to combat colorism AND hair texture shaming.
Racism, colorism and hair texture shaming
@Shanikqua Timmons not only in America also in india... Here I have curly hair so I'm judged on that... When I was small my friends used to call me "maggi"(noodles)... You cannot judge a person with his or her appearance... God has given these things... Color, height etc... Short heighted persons (including me) are thought to be bad but if you have a long height you're healthy... Like wtf?
@Shanikqua Timmons right 😔
@@Dontjudgeabookbyitscover123 maggi is delicious so jokes on them😌 they wish they had such gorgeous hair
@@Dontjudgeabookbyitscover123 yeah my sister got called like that too. My hair is not as curly as my sister's hair but still the beauty standard here is straight hair and we didn't fit that. My wonderful mom always said to us people just get jealous with our look(skin color, hair texture) because ours are so pretty. But it's a bit hard to find hair products for curly hair here in my country..... so, hurmmmm😔
I'm a dark skin black woman, I never realized that India was having the same issues as I have here in the states...it's All so sad!!
This happens in Arab countries as well. I’m Saudi and brown in color. Many Saudi men have criticized me for my darker skin color and frequently make impolite comments about my complexion. Saudi men have an obsession with White skin and European looking women. It’s sad that Eurocentric standards of beauty have taken over the world. 😥😩
That's suprising as our part of the world is notorious for dark skin discrimination. It's nice to see how black women embrace their skintone and beauty!
@@romap3040 I can only speak for myself, but I feel some times when you're in your own struggle it's hard to see the struggle of others. But we must open our eyes and recognize everybody's in the same struggle together called life. When you take a step back from our own concerns and realize that our creator loved all the colors in the crayon box, so why can't we as people do the same. We are all worthy and everyone, every culture and every race brings something to the world table for us All to Love and Appreciate. How boring life would be without All the Beautiful complexions of the Human rainbow. Prays and Blessings, Take care and stay safe.🙂
@@renee176 But in India, discrimination on basis of colour is not acknowledged or even condemned. It is kind of accepted. It's normal for relatives to give tips to make you fairer and exclaiming that "you are even darker than the last time I saw you". They don't know the damage they are doing
Colourism is everywhere. As a South east asian, most people here still adore and idolise fair skin.
'accepting your flaws' - and that being dark skinned is not a flaw!!
Imagine being used to seeing those skin whitening advertisements. It's horrible! The people in those commercials are smiling wider as their skin becomes lighter, it's just disturbing.
Im more worried about my acne than my skin color.. any color is fine as long as my skin is healthy, bouncy and no acne / azema... i've been suffering from my childhood until now.. its just hormon unbalance and sensitive skin
Acne break outs are completely normal, I agree these aren't hygienic, but you surely don't have to worry about your 'looks' with them. Even I have a friend of mine who has this breakout. But we know her heart and that's pure. You don't need to feel any sort of complex. Go get the world ❤
Same sis 😭😭😭
Aww, if you want great skin, watch Hyram to learn more
^^ this. you can also watch james welsh too if you're interested in skincare
Yeah but one thing bad about being so white (me) is YOU ALWAYS TURN BRIGHT RED i know others with darker skin also get this but for whiter skin ITS ALL THE FRICKEN TIME i get made fun if for it so much :( same with my acne 😭

I wrote a paper on colorism in college. As undeniably attractive as Aishwarya Rai l, Rani Mukerji and Hrithik Roshan are, I always felt that their natural light eyes, light skin, and other European features were so coveted in India and it made me sad to see how infectious European beauty standards are.
European features are beautiful, but they aren’t the only beautiful features. Beauty comes in all shades!
Add Rani Mukerji now.....add her fast
*Say it louder for the people in the back fam!!* 😔✊
Aisha Arya Rai has very Indian features..it’s just her skin is fair and has light eyes!
@@whatsinaname2706 she absolutely has strong Indian features (which are gorgeous)! but for many non-white celebrities, it often seems to be the white American or European features that get highlighted and glorified far more than their other features.
No one talks about how beautiful her long, narrow nose is (as far as I know). It’s not the cute dainty button that Americans deem desirable.
But boy her light skin and light eyes, amirite?!
Hey I would like to read that paper
Where I'm from in the Mediterranean, it's not attractive to be fair as it is compared to looking sickly and my fair skinned friends struggled a lot to find a appropriate foundation but you guys are the complete opposite...
What a funny world
THIS! I'm a paper pale Greek girl and people look at me like I'm sick or something. They even feel like they have to tell me to go out so the sun can see me.
I mean, I understand what you’re saying but there’s a difference between having a tan and actually having dark skin. Even in countries where having a tan is praised, that has to do with being privileged enough to have free time to tan, whereas actual dark skin is still associated with dirt, poverty and ugliness. Just think of the difference in social treatment between a tanned white person and a dark skinned person of color.
Same lol
@@j.j.714 Agreed
That’s odd. I am from South Eastern Europe and here for some reason blonds with blue eyes and a lighter tone are preferred to dark haired and dark eyes with a slightly darker tone. It’s nowhere as severe as that in India but I personally noticed on how my grandma has commented that I should have been more fairer like my dad instead of my mom, as well as aunts commenting how lucky my little cousins are lucky to be as blond and light as they are and also notice guys saying they want fairer girls with light eyes. So I guess different perspective from the same area 🤷♀️
My mom always tells me that when I was born I looked like a small Dark Mouse as a Baby...I think my complex started from there itself
Surprisingly !!My mom too says the same !
My dad told me i looked like a black shivering lamb
And I'm pretty much sure you parents are dark too.. so why colourshaming your kid when he got it from yu
My inferiority complex started from the moment I came to know that when I was born, My grandparents literally asked If I was "fair or dark"instead of asking "Boy or girl!" My own family treated me as trash!
@@jewel3124 army
I'm kind of lucky that my father has always told me Dark colour is nothing to be inferior of. In a family where I'm the only dark person I was really depressed, but my parents helped me out of it and I'm grateful

@@factsoverfeelings2567 yes
@Bibin Thomas was thinking the same🤧
you are not dark...
HAHAHAHHAAHHA MAN JUST CALLED HERSELF DARK HAHAHAHA
I'm sorry to everyone who feels ugly because of her skin. You are all beautiful at EVERY SKIN COLOUR ❤ Society is ugly, not you
My mother would chastise me for going outside for “too long” without any sunscreen because I’m brown and tan easily. She thought she was more beautiful than her older sisters because she could pass as Caucasian. When I would shut myself in for long periods of time (i was fine, it was really just to avoid her.) and my skin would start getting much lighter my mother would tell me how nice my skin looked. Hahaha colorism has been engraved in me since I was young. And my mother would always say how beautiful my sister’s skin (she’s fair) was an how she didn’t want my sister to damage it and would buy her skin care products and stuff. And she’s just say that she hated that I looked so Peruvian. With my very round face, brown skin, and my hair color and texture. And she’s say how pretty my sister’s fair skin was and how nice her hair was and her nice jawline.
And, while what I’m about to mention is not colorism, it’s still shitty. My mom let me bleach my hair pink (ya know which would be fine on it’s own) when she didn’t let my sister simply use a conditioner with pink dye in it. In fact, she threw a tantrum. She said it was because my sister has “such beautiful hair” and my hair was “okay.” And how she didn’t want my sister to damage her hair and how my hair could take it.
My hair is very frizzy and wavy to the point it’s almost curly. And my hair is a medium shade of brown. My sister’s hair is a reddish blonde shade and has loose curls everywhere.
My sister has eyes that are a strange mix of light brown and green and my eyes are very dark brown and almost look black. Guess which set of eyes my mom liked the most?
My sister _is_ beautiful, as well as a wonderful person (her and my cousin would always hype me up and make me feel better about my self image. And my sister hated when my mom would make those comments) but my mother made me feel ugly and made me have an unhealthy relationship with my self image.
And then gender dysphoria happened and now I avoid mirrors like the plague.
Cordelia Jackson this makes me so sad to hear and I hope things get better with time

@@cordeliajackson8615 I'm so sorry. Parents can truly be the worst. Know shes projecting her own self hatred onto you and you deserved NONE of that. That behavior is disgusting and I'm really sorry you went through that. Our beauty is not defined by colours. Your mother has an ugly soul if she is okay with making her own child feel so ugly. I wish I could give you a hug.
@@FatimaOT2 then don't comment, asshole
That mother has a very good perspective in life. That self-worth is not defined by what society thinks but based on yourself and what you have to offer. Yes, appearances is important but it is not everything. In this day and age we live in, perfection is the prime goal. Be it appearance, body, relationship, career, riches, everything has to be perfect and the same with other people we see in the media. However, that can never be, as even the people themselves on media are not perfect. It is all just an illusion, that they themselves are even putting unrealistic standards on their selves. So we have to focus more on ourselves, our individuality, and appreciate who we are and what we have. We are all worth the world, and no one can say otherwise.
This happens in Arab countries as well. I’m Saudi and brown in color. Many Saudi men have criticized me for my darker skin color and frequently make impolite comments about my complexion.

Lol i was fairer than milk as a baby but as time passed, i grew darker and darker. When i was in 3rd standard, i took part in the fancy dress competition and dressed up as a fairy. My dialogues and acting were good so I won the first prize but when I came back to the class, everyone started teasing me. They called me "kaali pari" and some even said, "you did well but white just doesn't suit you. Needless to say I never took part in any dress up competition after that. Instead, I wished to be fair every day. I'd take my mom's foundation (she's fairer than me) and just put it all over my face even though I got scolded all the time for doing that. Even as i grew up, i wasn't chosen for visual arts just because i was dark and hence, "not pretty". I was so insecure that I'd purposefully ignore anyone saying mean things about my skin color. Like, not the "idc" type ignoring but the "i know what you're saying but I'm gonna pretend i didn't hear it because I don't wanna embarass myself in front of everyone" type. Once a girl was like, "tum itni kaali kyun ho?" and i pretended to not hear her even though I felt like crying. It was ridiculous. I'm not as dark or as fair now, I'm in the middle I can say but good thing now I know to love my skin despite whatever color it is. There was this girl who used to compare everyone's skin tones and and used to tell me how she's the "fairest person in class" as if anyone cares about that. She wouldn't even sit with darker people (idk how she's friends with me tbh). And I called her out on her bs. That was the first time I stood up against colorism and after that, I just never stopped.
I have been commenting on maybelline Instagram page to bring more shades to india .like everytime they will be like we are hearing you, but they aint
uff i agree with you
i unfollowed all the ppl who like beyonce sharmajayegi
It’s not gonna be profitable for maybelline
Maybellin won't cater to us like we want because it's drug store and expanding it to 60 shades (since its world wide) whereas most of our shades won't be selling in the countries as much... The solution for us has to be Indian brands that make products in India stepping up their game and doing it for the population... But I am sure the companies those who even want to do it don't have enough money to do it... Our celebrities are too busy doing useless shit unlike Rihanna who came up with products for people of her race and demographic as well those who are not from her race and demographic

@leedee22 x I never said they weren't? You sound like you need some classes as well, on respect and manners
I know you meant well but it's Asians they're not all Chinese that's racist
Meanwhile everyone on the other side of the world be trying to get darker skin (through tanning, paint, lotion, etc.)
it has its own problems too though, people conceive darker colored person is more sexy and “exotic”. Which is gross because skin color shouldn’t mean anything like that. young black/brown women and girls tend to be sexualized from very young age compared to fair skinned girls and women. Also “beautiful” dark skin is very limited shade, as you can see with model industry being “diverse” and hire tan to light brown skinned models, almost no darker skinned models
@@damianjang3766 the world has a problem with the 'exotic darksin' and 'innocent white girl' stereotypes
Damian Jang the reason why they like tans over here is because that means you can afford vacations to warm countries, meaning that you're rich. I don't think it's about being "exotic" much. But yes I completely agree with your statement
: /
society sucks
It is always about appearing rich. Here it was also in earlier centuries to goal to appear as light as you can as that meant you don't have to work in the fields (where you would get tanned). Now with jobs mostly in buildings if your tanned you show that you can affort a lot of vacations and are rich.
In Asian countries though it is still considered more "rich" if you are lighter skinned.
It's not just India's problem, It's not *specifically* India's issues. And also this "fairness" creams need to rethink their ads and govt needs to pressure them to do so. India has so many skin tones but the basic one is tanned!
It breaks my heart to hear these women talk about how they've felt like they're not pretty because of their skin when they're all beautiful and (more importantly!) seem like lovely people. This video showed up in my recommended today and I'm glad it did. I hope the world can change because these things are just so awfully unfair and meaningless.

@@itsokaytobeclownpilled5937 yikes. Imagine thinking it's okay to devalue people based on skin colour because someone is making money from it.
