I got told by this guy once, you'll have no prob finding a guy, you have a nice personality, smart, and youre 'fair' - I just looked at him and shook my head. Its so shallow but youre right its ingrained in the culture and minds of south asians, I worry it wont ever change.
This is not a joke!! I just got back from Bangalore, and they think that NC25-30 is the pinnacle of beauty! I'm an NC25 (I'm half Japanese and half European) and I actually have had people stroking the skin on my arm saying my skin colour is so beautiful (these are South Asian women). I've never noticed it myself...it's just the color I am.

LOL! I've been asking my other half if I look like fish paste and do I need the fake tan! Cultural differences, I guess!
