Are Indian people trying to look white when they use skin lightening?

products.. is that the ultimate aim? The whole thing just seems really bizarre to me... I understand that Indian people buy over 60% of skin lightening products such as Fair and Lovely so my question is a reasonable one...

Are Indian people trying to look white when they use skin lightening?
Yes they are trying to be or look white. Most Indian people particuarly the women are desperate to be whiter skinned which is really bizarre as no matter how white they are they will still look Indian. It's pure self-loathing.





Indians use so many skin lightening products that it is mind boggling. What are they trying to achieve acceptance by white people? This is pretty strange as if they went to any Western country no Caucasian person would say "gosh your great as you have white skin". they would be regarded still as being an Indian person...





India people are one of the first to scream "racism" [e.g the Jade Goody incident] yet do not look to cleanup their own houses first. If you go to any other country whihc has beencolonised they do not have this same mentality.. ..i.e trying to look white to the extent Indian people do.





Personally I would never go to this country due to this element of their "culture".

Reply:Some use it to hide the hair that constantly grows on unwanted area. Some use it fade uneven skin tones and others use it for the very reason you mentioned..
Reply:In the Indian culture, light or fair skin is seen as being beautiful. So the women with the darker skin tend to try and lighten their skin. I, personally, think they have beautiful skin... the light and the dark.

We should all just stay the way we are.

Secondly people all around the world who use skin lightening cream donot use it to hide their heritage but just to look better.





It's really silly to think that way. 2morrow you would say taht we take bath to hide our heritage just casue we wanna have a brighter skin. That's really funny..
