Because they are determined to get white nordic approval. They feel inferior asethetically, I mean, look at their soap operahs/television. I must day, nords did a great job convincing millions of people their pale asses are beautiful.

I honestly just point, laugh, and shake my head in pity.

[AntonioXYZ]

Some people here have a kind of fetish on female pale skin, but the vast majority prefer darker skin (form light -not pale- to olive)

[Cersdog]

sometimes is ridicolous indeed, like in this case

I tan easily and retain the color for a long time and honestly I'm happy to be so, I think I look better and gives me a sense of liveliness, also it is the ideal color for sunny weather where I live most of the year.

Caribbean people Seriously? Take a trip.

I like your tan i wish I tanned like you

anyway I prefer tanned Scandinavians over pale scandinavian skintone,If I were Swedish I'd like to have his skintone


and their women look better tanned


in my opinion pale skin only looks sexy on women

[Xutrsavf]

im sort of a light olive, so maybe my skin isn't dark enough for me to gain a complex over, but i don't admire pale people, or darker people that much either. and i've never heard this sentiment said ever. tanned/olive is the skin tone everyone is trying to achieve. thats why you have people willing to sit out in the sun all day and BAKE themselves to get it. olive is imo one of the most attractive skin tones.



not everyone is as concerned about self image and racial identity as you constantone *cough* jgamibi *cough*

Fight the power, Olive bruh!

[Breeriacoirl]

also people are very wrong it's not about skintone it's more about features,people in India for example those from South India not only have darker skin they also have different features from punjabis and people over there always prefered the punjabi standard of beauty you can see that on their ancient paintings,it's wrong to assume that's because of Eurocentric influences,the old world has it's own culture for thousands of years it's not like the Nworld

this Indian Goddes is far from Europeans,she's endemic to India and that's the prototype over there


this dark Indian actress is considered very beautiful and people don't care about her skintone,she has beautiful features that resemble punjabi features

[EarnestKS]

Oh, and I'd just like to point out that the people here hate my skin tone. They prefer a reddish/brown skin that's a little light. They hate my skin tone because it's too light, and I'm DEFINETLY not pale skinned. I'm from South India, the place stereotyped to have the most ''self hating'' Indians who wanna be white.

@Particula
The girl in the first pic is half white and not punjabi. She's part Kashmiri.

[Mabeavyledlib]

she still can pass for Punjabi though

[Khcyhshq]

^ Not really. . . . . .

[Fetowip]

these women are punjabi and that woman cetainly would not stick out among them

[SasortFkire]

Just beacause they hate you Jgiambi, doesn't mean they hate other people.

That was a little mean. . . . .

Actually, she would stand out a bit.

why would she?

[Alkanyadela]

And I don't that there is any major differences between their features. And there are many light skinned South Indians(though, I've only met a few as light or lighter than me).

Many are around this guys skin tone.

@Particula
Look closely.

[feedcomnet]

why would she?

She wouldn't. I don't know why you are arguing with a South Indian about how NW Indians look. She wouldn't stick out in any part of NW India/Pakistan/Afghanistan. Guys like Hrthik Roshan, Nakuul Mehta and Aditi Govitrakar on the other hand would.

[Soulofpostar]

Lol, let's not have a North Vs South fight. . . . .

[wrbwrbwrb]

Why do people love dividing Indians? Goodness!

[ggdfgtdfffhfyj]

i do not know and i cannot speak about other europeans, but for greeks:

pale skin is indicative of sickness
tanned skin suggested (not anymore) manual labour under the sun, like working in the fields or fishing.
brown skin suggested foreign ancestry, like saracene one and its the most obvious.

all the colours ones skin could have are ok, and then the beauty factor is moved into how the colour combines with features, or if the other features like body or mind negate a not so attractive colour.

[BlackBird]

Why do people love dividing Indians? Goodness!

North Americans think badly and don't want to relate with the South because of the stereotypes associated with them. Same for India, South Indians are stereotyped as short people who look like aborigini's. . . . . .

---------- Post added 2012-01-02 at 23:45 ----------

So, they wanna be seperated from us(but only some). Do I look like an aborigini to you?
