Personally I don't see this being race discrimination, but rather colorism. Colorism started in India during the British rule, where the fairer you are the more value they added to your life as a human. It's something that has prevailed.
@@Paws.of.JusticeBefore British, the black peoples (specially Hindus) were discriminated by the Islamic rulers from the middle eastern countries.. they ruled over 400 years before British. That means there were no such kind of discriminations before 800 years.. but believe me, black peoples were always belongs to Bharat and Africa.
So this is the thing about India and other Asian countries...we are very judgmental when it comes to skintone. This has nothing to do with race and everything to do with class. Asia was and still is very much an agricultural based continent. People with fairer skintones back in the day represented rich because the poor worked in the fields and got darker. The opposite is true for Western countries where you see people actively trying to get a tan because that represents they have travelled out of the country (rich) and been to places with lots of sun. I'm not saying that there is no racism in India but please understand that it's not limited to foreigners but darker skinned Indians as well.
Having said all that, I feel like there's a need for Indo-africans like the Siddis as well as biracial blacks and expats to form a group that supports them, bring them together as well as spread a positive image to other Indians. A lot of Indians are ignorant and I can't emphasize that enough because it's 1.4 billion people and more than half of the population falls under this ignorant category. Then there are those who are hateful towards others on purpose, there are bad people amongst us as well and there's no denying that. Lastly there are those who would love to help these black people feel welcome and feel included and let them know that they have friends.
Europeans only started to make sun tanning fashionable due to legendary fashionista Coco Chanel who returned from a vacation with a sun tan. You can Google this fact. Before that powdery pale skin was a sign of ultimate glamor.
@@Priya24-n1z look it's not about bad or good if I prefer a white girl there is nothing bad about it , it's my personal attraction, and I saw so many indian white girls married with black guys that's there personal attraction, nothing bad about it , one of my friend is over weighted we called him Motu still today , another friend is black we called him kalu , one is so skinny we call him haru every friends do that but after all we spend times together go for vacation together enjoy life's nothing effected you are black so you are black we will call you kaalu but also you will be our first choice in when it's the time of friendship they called me atte ki vori India has nothing to do with black vs white It's just some kind of terrorism activity which is going on america a silly thing Nothing good or bad about this ..
As Indians we remember how Idi Amin, the military leader of Uganda who kicked out Indians from their country in 1972, he said that he hate Indians. No Africans has ever faced these kind of situations in India or in Asia.
I can only imagine how this was shocking and unjust and this also was built by a British concept that Indian were more Humans then African people, which is certainly not a justification but rather a part of where it might come from. Still I have to say that when you say that no Asian countries have been as violent with africans, I must tell you that during Covid Chinese people threw whole families out from their apartment and they were not allowed in stores to buy food. So I believe that in general Human beings everywhere still have to make efforts
Havent you read the stories of Africans being killed in India you can find them if you search for them on google. Also the expulsion of Indians in Uganda wasnt unprecendented. Burma also kicked out more than three times the number of Indians from the country in 1964. Again you can research this. More than 300,000 Indians were expelled from Burma. Another Asian country did this to Indians so why dont Indians speak about this like they try to guilt trip Africans and black people in general for what Idi Amin did?
@@blaklena not completely true. You should google how Africans are treated in India and you’ll see several stories of them being subjected to racism including mob attacks. Even against African women. Thankfully most of these stories reached a worldwide audience and it doesn’t seem to be as big a problem it once was. Either way, we should all learn from the past and respect each other. I have much love and respect for Indian culture and absolutely love the food 😋
In india racism is casual thing.... Because even in indian family two type of kid in house,one is little darker and another was little Fair, thats why we dont take seriously though...And if someone has fair skin more than the regular one, also face racism but in both cases racism is always a slighter mode, no one kill each other for skin colour like USA.....Largely tribal people from any where in part india has dark skin....we live with dark and fair people for ages.... Look india' s president, she is from tribal areas and she is more darker skin than any interviewer form this video....
Yes so true my mother used to say if I give birth to blacker kids as we are kashmiri she will not pick it up just jokingly but it affects yet when my sister married to someone really darker than her people did accept them and her kids too and they were given love swell yet they kept telling why did you marry someone darker than you you realise there is this kinda racism
For a country where one of the most revered God literally means 'black one' (Krishna) and one of the most worshipped Goddess is literally 'The black mother' ( Kali Ma), we have developed, especially in North India, some strange fetish about skin tone. However it can't be denied that more than racism it is colourism which is prevalent and that too not from hate point of view. Can't be justified, but it is actually a lot more casual. People (especially not so educated) are just ignorant and don't realise it can be hurtful. People do have stereotypes about people of colour (both white and black) but can it be called racism?
@@spilltea4241 don't know. I am from North of India and don't watch a lot of South cinema except a few runaway hits. I always thought South Indians are more comfortable with their skin tone
I'm not african but my family call me blacky because of my mild dark skin and they even told me to not drink tea as it'll make my skin dark, being white means beauty in india or as media and beauty products portraits in india, I am white for South Indians and black for north Indians.
Yes so true and they feel of you are white you have it all but that's not true either they hate you inward or feel jealousy too as in India it leads to superiority inferiority thing of acceptance plus it's about casteism gods like grace karmic retribution a lot of such intertwined factors too😢😮lol
the main poin which we seem to be ignoring is, African population is close to 60k in 1.4b we have a long way to go but earlier steps in right direction is good for both societies
Siddis are tribes of India. Their roots are in Africa but they are now Indian. No doubt, initially, they faced discrimination. However, it has improved a lot. Recently, they also represent politically as law makers and dominating Olympic sports. Govt. is providing all sorts of support to uplift and mainstream them. One Siddi woman recently got a Padmashri award, which is the 4th highest civilian award in India. I wish Ramnath would do great things in life and make India proud.
At least no one got killed or arrested by cops or racially attacked because of their skin color like USA. Also it's 2023, India has changed a lot. Even beauty creams(previously fairness creams) brands has changed and evolved themselves. Dark skinned people are in every field now in India. Even our president is a dark skinned tribal woman.
@@TheDemouchetsREACT We need more dark sinned people in the country. This will help us be more aware. I personally have never come across one. People don't even know that people from other countries are living in India. Same kind of colourism is faced by white people as well , where they are asked for selfies everywhere. We need more integration of people coming to our country for different cultures so there can be acceptance. But yeah, I think people are getting more aware by the day with internet access everywhere. Hopefully we start seeing humanity as one.
I had a African Friend in India who studied with me in Bengaluru, but he was so hesitant to speak with us. just because he looked different it should be from both sides if you ask me.
As an indian, In this 1.4 billion populated country i could say colorism does not play that much role here There is black indian, white indian, asian looking indian,brown skinned many colors in India they will be treated as same. But You would be uncomfortable if you were a foreigner . whatever race you belong to white,asian,black you will be alienated because of the strong culture practiced here. Eg: most people in India think white British guy or black African guy or Japanese Asia guy are alienated .. In my perspective India has a caste issue, religion issue , language issue and social status issue colorism might be last among all these
I am indian in flesh and blood. When i was a child i always played outdoor sports and atheletics. I was very black in colour unlike my fair sibling and parents. However as i grew up and was in college my complexion changed and lightened up naturally and today people look back in disbelief and tell me i look like i belong to nothern india as i am quiet fair. India is colour obssed and it will never end.
see i live in India ,,,and its not common to see foreigners here other than tourist spots ,so people act differently,,,but its not like we think anyone is less but ya its getting better
I had a black friend back in middle school . So i can only talk about him . Actually he was the star of the school . He excelled in academy , he excelled in sports , this was the major reason why everyone wanted to associate with him , and thats why i chose to be friends with him . Yes ,some bullies who were jealous of him , used to make fun of him however they could , but i never saw him get bothered about it , or maybe i never realised it cuz i was a kid too . Its been so long since i last saw him . I wonder where he is now and what he is doing
Big Lack of proper Education in India about Ethnicity, Skin Color and bunch of stuff related to Akcent and things like that are really needed in here in India.
Canadian here and the saddest part was hearing that gorgeous woman say she grew up thinking she was ugly and no one would want her! I take people one on one and by the quality of their character and no orher reason!
She is a beautiful lady. It is sad how society impacts what we believe about ourselves. We wish you all could spread that Canadian positivity all over the world.
Obviously we do have certain preferences....beauty in one culture doesn't necessarily has the same standard in other cultures...most of the black women won't date white guys too... it's about personal preferences
I am black...and really we don't care these questions..we never take it seriously for colour.. no hating thing.. In our Indian families you can easily see black and white colors
Ramanth ji is Indian n so other who accept n respect the culture of land. Nothing to do with bias...people need much open mindset both side color of skin does not guarantee privilege nor discrimination.
😂😂😂 ok so one thing. I feel this gets mistaken regularly by non-indians all over the world. "We STARE" 😂😂 Indians have a culture of staring. It's not meant to be disrespectful or hateful AT ALL! it's just that we stare, we like to look at people till our soul has satisfied it's curiosity. We stare at other indians alot too if they're interesting. We just like to people watch on a national level. Its mostly out of curiosity, not malicious nor are we getting ready for a fight. It's just the way we are, we look alot if we find people interesting or just people who are different. *Sorry about that. 😅 But please don't take that trait to heart. Spread it around too! So others know where we're coming from.
Racism in India against skin color is not only about being of African origin only, even the real native non-african people face color racism in India within community. There is a huge variety of skin color and being dark skinned in Northern part of India is kinda curse specially for females. Hope this mentality changes 10-20 years down the line.
Its strange to here it from them that Indians dont like them. In North part of India, I can understand, in south it should be extremely less. In school, kids usually dont call other kid by their name, but a new name is given to every kid based on their colour, height, the way they talk, religion, the way they look etc, but no body does it with hatred, it is done only because they like you. I never thought, calling kalia, chinki, mallu, madrasi, pakistani, motu, patlu etc was hatred. This was absolutely normal and fun in 80s, 90s and at least till 2010. I believe kids these days are complaining for everything, they have stopped enjoying these things. I have been called by so many names and I have called people by so many names and we all enjoyed.not sure if its the movies people watch these days or what that they feel insulted for everthing. I definitely agree with them that when you go to villages, you will see some kind of discrimination.
I hear that a lot that name calling is because they like you or it’s all in fun. But in every ounce of sarcasm there’s a pound of truth. When kids are allowed to say insensitive things it will eventually follow them through adolescence and then adulthood. They then mock and discriminate against those same kids that they used to call names just for fun. The results are these stories we’re seeing on this video. Those people don’t seem to be having any fun 😢
The point of this video wasn't clear. For example I have friend of every skin tone in my group.we play,study,eat together. If your point is relationship then it is very hard to find someone who is interested in dark skinned people. Otherwise you will never find discrimination.
@@adeOLUWA relationship is choice of people,we can't do anything about it. But except relationship,you will not find any type of racism or discrimination. People will invite you home to celebrate festival, india is multicultural country so we don't have problem who is white or black.
@@TheDemouchetsREACT they are mostly talking about how indian like white skin but that's not the case. Except marriage,I haven't seen anyone Caring about skin colour in india,99% population of india haven't seen a black/african person in their life.So it is obvious people will stare towards them,even white foreigners are treated same way
LOOK AS INDIAN I CAN ASSURE YOU , WE ARE LOTS OF PEOPLE YOU KNOW ! SO THERE IS LOTS OF GOOD PEOPLE ALSO AND BAD TOO , I MEAN, EVERYTHING IS LARGE WHEN IT IS COMES TO INDIA
I think the people who touch her skin is because of the glowing and smooth skin she has so people check if it is make-up or something like that not for dust.
Colourism in India isnt based on race theory and purity like in West. Its rooted in classism: in India historically farmer population tend to be more dark skinned and thus r associated less prosperity. Couple that with light skinned central asian rulers and European colonization u get people who are obsessed with euro-centric facial features and light skin. Its same all over Asia snd even in Africam
i am from india; basically indians are not judging anybody on their colour; only indian sees how you dresses; how well you comb your hair; if you want truly to know how indians treat just you need dress up as an indian and try to speak the local language ; then i gaurantee you no one will judge you in india
His mom is Indian and dad is Nigerian. If that's the case, then where is discrimination to find an Indian girl. PS: Dating in Indian culture is tough. Often couples do not date openly, keeping it secret. These are normal things.
Funfact for fellow Indians:- In the carribean (particularly Jamaica) racism was in the order- White> Blacks> Weaker Indians (U.P and Bihar). - Only until Gujaratis and Sikhs (Trading stalwarts) visited the islands, the enslaved indians had some relief.
As a indian marriage different cast is difficult in india also . Means you can't every indian who you like. Caste system even really matter to our community. Even my parents say that if you marry in other caste don't even touch me or come to see me . They cut off all their relation with you . Who you are they don't care when it's come to caste. If you are miss world they first ask you your caste .😂
I think that's cuz lot of traditional,rules, culture clashed with each other's clans. Like people living like jains will feel hard to adjust in family having different dietary habits and vice versa. Or someone who think eating with hand is gross vs family who take pride in using hands. Or some clan where people wake up early in morning and do rituals like Pooja or Tulsi worship vs a family where rituals aren't given priority. Language and regional society also makes clans incompatible with each other. Indian society is family originated. So that's why it's said ,you are not only getting married to one person but also embracing whole family. That's why we give value to every relative's feelings and opinions. A kid take advice of uncles,cousin grandpas, aunts, grandmas, maternal uncles etc . In such a case , diverse family values will be hard to understand. Faith and common culture is what ties us together. We are proud bharatiya but I understand why clan system worked the way it did. Also some communities don't like certain communities because of tribal wars and community clash back in days. Most of time it's not about jaati vaad or caste system,some clans or communities are not preferred by other communities (mostly richer) because of their past. Past is not something to be forgotten easily.You can still work for your future while keeping your past experience In mind. We are no different in modern world. Rich clans are blamed for their ancestors (how we assume each and every family did that) possibly opressed certain clans but we are doing same under disguise of victim card. Like how crime against memeber or rich family is ignored but any randomly crime happens against a member of certain clan becomes a major issue. The caste system still works but difference is ,poor clans are one openly abusing people of certain priest class who didn't even do anything wrong. It is like saying, just because invaders invaded india,we should eliminate everyone sharing their surname and faith.
As far as them assuming where you’re from they do that to wh ite people and always assume they’re American..I would never take offense to that though. I would love to see a video like this with other races too as far as how they’re treated, etc in India.
I think you don't get the point ....people seeing them reacting different is because of the uniqueness just find out percentage of 20-40 k to 1.4 bilion. India is faaar better than america in terms of hate racism, and when you said i want him to come here to experience love, well they get the love, n who knows they go there and get killed in mass shooting.
Yah indians never hate black ppl . Some just got surprised to see them first time ,because they only see them in movies .So some ppl stare at them when they see em first time. We have racism though, North Indians see South Indians as blacks even we are all mixed
my son is in 3rd class n has one black girl. i noticed everybody play with each other , participate in cultural events at school n children dont consider colour in their friendships
The racism and Colourism was brought by the British to India during their 200 year colonial rule in India , They acted and Administered as they belongs to some superior race held and handcrafted by God himself , they treated Indians as the worst of creature with all racial features , After British left India ( India were poor and illiterate at that time) , The long rule made Indian subjected to exposure of Colourism as a superiority , This Hangover of "Superiority" made some Elite North Indian/Governing administrative authorities (which were fair in colour and working under the British) acted as superior to south Indians ( Dark in colour) and The caste System in India and the western influence made it worst , But with education and literacy , people are getting to know the Evils of Colourism and Racism , the young generations in cities like Mumbai , Delhi etc are quite friendly and modern with their thoughts and perceptions
At my last job here in Virginia, there were Indians from different parts of India. There were some with lighter skin color and some with darker skin color. One day, one of the lighter skinned Indian told me that if this was back in India, all of the black skinned Indians would be his assistants rather a manger. I also learned from another Indian that the black skinned Indians in the southern states are more educated than their lighter counter parts in the northern state.
wtf bro Im an India but what you saying I heard it for the first time😂 there's nothing like north and south here in India there's only one identity which is Indian
@@TheDemouchetsREACT Wtf guys no one is underdog in India and this video producer is being propagator of India which spreads hates towards countries like INDIA and ISRAEL.. you don't know what India has done for the african countries the biggest peace keeping force in africa is The Indian Army and India always raised voice for these nation cause we were also in past colonized by brits. India liberated many countries in africa from british. have some correct documents listen to african leaders how they praises INDIA. INDIA is the voice of all non-white nations including africa/latin/south-east INDIA is called the leader of "The Global South"
Sorry, this has a strong whiff of BS. I live and work in the US (am of Indian origin) but I have worked in India as well. People are completely mixed up at the workplace back in India.Your boss could be someone 5 shades darker than you. It means nothing. Your friend might have been delusional or maybe was just lying to look like he was someone special.
I am Indian and one of the most beautiful girls I met was black. I still remember her but unfortunately I was married. 😢 I would have approached her if I wasn't
If one can't accept for the way they are..the problem is within. We Indians call you for what you are because, it is normal for us and not discrimination. If you are black and they call you white then you should get offended. We have got names for everyone. It is blessed to be called with the name of godess for being black. We will call white people as ghosts. Mostworst thing is when an Indian is named as british for being white. & calling North East Indians as Chinese. Yet a friendly gesture but, literally frustating one 😂 Anyway it is not about color or race , it is all about loyality ,honesty, Fun that matters to us. Don't get offended for silly things . If you don't like them to call you for what you are don't deny them. Just accept for what you are and love yourself. In India , one can't escape from these names either in their own house. When you accept it, you will know the beauty of it. Only loved one's and carring affectionate people will call you with these unique names.
This used to happen in all countries. But everyone else has evolved from such nonsense and respect all humans instead of disparaging them. I also have a hard time believing that this is acceptable to all Indians. There are many Indians on social media complaining about online racism against Indians. If what you said is true then why are these young Indian adults complaining?
@@Anamika-ly7ux absolutely not. I hate racism and bigotry in any form. I’m one of those who speaks against online bigotry against Indian people. That’s the difference between you and I. I believe in standing up for those who are being unjustly attacked. Maybe you simply misunderstood my previous comment
I think racial discrimination should not happen. We should respect each other and get along. I am Indian buy have lot of black friends and they all are good I stay in USA
This is just sad to see. One of my bestfriends is black & she's the only black person I know in india but she has faced some of these things. My country has yet to grow.
We worshipped the Goddess kali Maa, Kali means Black and Maa means Mother 😊😊 And even we worship God Shri Krishna who is called as Black darked skin We(only Hindus 🕉️) worship God and Goddess who defined as Black skin color So now you can say there is no way we can discriminate
Ya very nice program. Both of you reaction well.nowadays all changed. Globally all humans very affectionate with all country peoples. So we have to give respect and love with all humans. Because life is very shot friends.thanks.
Bad and good people will be always there in any part of the world. I never seen colour racism happing in India,we a different zones where people are completely black . So if something is happening it's very bad we all are god kids we are not different
Even dark skinned Indians face colorism. India is a majority dark skinned country obsessed with light skin. Within a family multiple members are of different skin tone and among them the darker ones are casually made fun of for their complexion. Racism is very much a reality in India but colorism is different than racism.
It comes as a shock to me hearing all these. Because neither I jad approached any indian or african or any other race's girls. I'm shocked to hear this. In some parts you might have encountered this unacceptance.
All that i would want to say is India today has the highest population on earth, and just 10-20 percent would not be that educated but the rest are all into the culture and we believe guests are our gods
I have to disagree with some of the people in the comments. This is not just about colourism. Racism IS an issue in India, it's just that the number of black people in India is really really low, and so our interaction with this topic is super rare. Racism in the Indian context normally pertains to people with East Asian features because that represents a much larger chunk of Indian society. North-East Indians experience racism on a daily basis despite being natively Indian. There's also alot of Tibetan refugees, Chinese immigrants, and Nepali/Bhutanese people living here who are treated terribly. Racial discrimination against black people is definitely something Indian media and the public needs to talk about. I remember reading an article about a black couple that got kicked out of their apartment because people started making up stories about how they consume human flesh.
As an Indian.... Who lived in both Urban and rural side of India..... It's really uncommon to see African looking INDIANS.... so i don't think it's people's problem if they see African person and be curious.... Most of us Indians are more black than African Black peoples..... I dont think its racism....
Actually Both of my friends the person is misunderstood he feel that because of colour he misunderstood but not he looks like more African face that's why ..
India is discussing about Marriage equality(Same sex marriage) in Supreme Court and as a country India has made a lot of progress on LGBTQ+++ community issues. We have our own standards we don't just blindly follow western standars. America got it's independent 250 yrs ago India just 75 yrs ago. So we will be modernizing our country at our pace.
Majority people follow Hindu culture and even our Gods are Black to whom we worship....God Shree Krishna, God Shree Vitthal, God Shree Balaji, God Shiv Mahadev....and many....❤ If this interviewrs really face some problems in India ... They will not stay there that means thay are staying by there will .... also i like to enlighten the most important things here that our Indain Constitution our Law of the country has strict provisions against such discrimination....of cast, colors and racism....🙏
For some reason in India White is beautiful and dark skin is not. Unfortunately this is the sad reality and people are changing and we are seeing people with dark skin getting seen as beautiful. It will take time, this was embedded in older people and they were sad if their kids were born with dark skin.. They were worried that they have hard time finding good match. It is slowly changing.
Only Americans are discriminate black people's all over the world and they called them dogs, and behaves very very hateful speech against them, but In India whole people behaves are same by not seeing their faces not their religion, skin colour, So All universe people's definitely called India is vasudhaiv kutunbakam❤
India is not very welcoming of dark-skinned people. Ironic, that the name "colorist" Indians call dark skinned people, is the name of one of their goddesses, who happens to be dark. And they say it in a derogatory way. Some of the nice ones will be less nice if you pick romantic or marital interest in a fair-skinned Indian. Then their Caste System which is thousands of years old, might be a contributing factor. I hope unbiased Indians can educate us, because it seems that the higher the caste, the less dark-skinned people you find.
Yes, it's true. Higher the caste, more light skinned are the people. That's why you see such diversity in skin color in india. Many brahmins(higher caste) people are considered the true descendants of aryans, and have light skin colors like turkish or Israeli people. Where as the lower caste people, are actually native to india and have darker skin tones. India also consists of many tribes, so they also have darker skin tones. It's not as easy to classify indian colorism because there are so many socio cultural factors that come in here. There are Indians who look just as dark, or even darker than east Africans. So whenever people see dark skinned people they associate it with lower caste. I can tell you with experience that Indians who are dark skinned face the SAME racism that these Africans in india are facing. It's not particular to Africans. The colorism is to the extent that, the God you mentioned to be dark skinned( lord Krishna) isn't even portrayed to be a dark skinned person. Everywhere you search lord krishna, you will find pictures of him with blue skin. Just to Indicate that he isn't from the lower caste. This is actually because of the idealogical divide between early vedic period and later vedic period.
Caste system has nothing to do with Color! Why would you say that? There have been many historical people who happened to be of higher caste and also happened to be of darker tone! Acharya Kautilya Vishnugupt Chanakya (from 4th century BCE) who belonged to the Highest caste was dark toned! I've a neighbor whose skin tone way more darker than any African I've ever seen also happens to be from Highest caste. Even Our Supreme God Krishna was Dark toned! So caste system had nothing to do with skin color!
Im from chennai,tamilnadu(south india) 'we also black' this video is all about north india whatever🤷 I had a nigirian girl neighbour in my life ,we same school she is my junior living in same hood,no offense her story is one coward nigirian man refused to live here in India abscond after making her indian mom pregnant,no one knows who is he either no contact from anyone,our hoods funds raised that poor girl nigirian her schooling and everything,what happened now is after all she finished college well developed then moved with her mother somewhere far she dispear like her father no thanks nothing what our people done 😂hope you all understand how we are than others,at the end we are the dullard and wrong people they spread all over,this is why some peoples trust nobody outside Indian peoples
Most of the Indians never came across black community or people , all the impressions for Indians about the black people got from the news from USA such as drugs & arms dealing etc
My mom is most beautiful. She has a dark skin tone. But truth is people do get judged by skin tone in India. But I think this mainly comes from colonialism.
This doesn't happen in Northeast. Its probable occured in north, west, or south. Dunno. But I have no hatred towards black people. In fact, I want to marry a black girl
Indian people don't care about any colour be it white or black or brown.....as long as people are respectful or friendly or funny or all of the above..... If you speak words of disrespect about India, even if it is true, then they resiprocate...
I don't think its about colour or race... If you feel different you will be different... India has more races then any other country in the world... USA has much more racism then any other country... Just blend in India and i don't think you will ever feel different...
There are Karen's in india to😢...but if you guys ask about racism we all face it everyday even inside our house 😂😂my mom even said to me once...i think the nurse in the hospital changed my son i dont know i need to ask her... these things are common and fun way we talk here😂😂
I would never call that hell home. You feel oppressed 24/7. I stayed there for 4 months and i never felt free. As soon as i live my house, a feeling of sadness engulfs my heart knowing someone will mistreat me, look at me bad. India is not black friendly. They will have you as a superficial friend.
It's not about colour in India it's More about what your caste is. As an Indian person with little dark tone in my childhood other children think about different in colour and not play with you but it's not that when you grow up you have no chance in grouping with other people. And about marriage and stuff people can't go against their parents because of arrenge merriage. And when approaching to other people what matters most is how your behaviour and how confident you are is. And Indian people don't really approch women because girls are too scary for man to handle. ( Women ☕ )
The population of India is 4times the population of USA....Think about it....
Personally I don't see this being race discrimination, but rather colorism. Colorism started in India during the British rule, where the fairer you are the more value they added to your life as a human. It's something that has prevailed.
It was there before British but made much much worse during British colonial Era.
@@Paws.of.Justice Our Lord Krishna🙏 and Lord Rama were also black. Even the meaning of Krishna is Black. Hare Krishna 🙏 Jay Shree Ram 🙏
@@Paws.of.JusticeBefore British, the black peoples (specially Hindus) were discriminated by the Islamic rulers from the middle eastern countries.. they ruled over 400 years before British. That means there were no such kind of discriminations before 800 years.. but believe me, black peoples were always belongs to Bharat and Africa.
@@traveltastebysourav2103 friend then why show black gods as Blue?
@@Paws.of.Justice If you read books Lord Krishna was so much black that it appears to be blue. Even in mahabharat Droupadi was black.
So this is the thing about India and other Asian countries...we are very judgmental when it comes to skintone. This has nothing to do with race and everything to do with class. Asia was and still is very much an agricultural based continent. People with fairer skintones back in the day represented rich because the poor worked in the fields and got darker. The opposite is true for Western countries where you see people actively trying to get a tan because that represents they have travelled out of the country (rich) and been to places with lots of sun. I'm not saying that there is no racism in India but please understand that it's not limited to foreigners but darker skinned Indians as well.
Having said all that, I feel like there's a need for Indo-africans like the Siddis as well as biracial blacks and expats to form a group that supports them, bring them together as well as spread a positive image to other Indians. A lot of Indians are ignorant and I can't emphasize that enough because it's 1.4 billion people and more than half of the population falls under this ignorant category. Then there are those who are hateful towards others on purpose, there are bad people amongst us as well and there's no denying that. Lastly there are those who would love to help these black people feel welcome and feel included and let them know that they have friends.
@@manashdb I agree to what you said I think bad people are everywhere it's just not limited to India
Europeans only started to make sun tanning fashionable due to legendary fashionista Coco Chanel who returned from a vacation with a sun tan. You can Google this fact. Before that powdery pale skin was a sign of ultimate glamor.
@@Priya24-n1z look it's not about bad or good if I prefer a white girl there is nothing bad about it , it's my personal attraction, and I saw so many indian white girls married with black guys that's there personal attraction, nothing bad about it , one of my friend is over weighted we called him Motu still today , another friend is black we called him kalu , one is so skinny we call him haru every friends do that but after all we spend times together go for vacation together enjoy life's nothing effected you are black so you are black we will call you kaalu but also you will be our first choice in when it's the time of friendship they called me atte ki vori
India has nothing to do with black vs white
It's just some kind of terrorism activity which is going on america a silly thing
Nothing good or bad about this ..
As Indians we remember how Idi Amin, the military leader of Uganda who kicked out Indians from their country in 1972, he said that he hate Indians. No Africans has ever faced these kind of situations in India or in Asia.
I can only imagine how this was shocking and unjust and this also was built by a British concept that Indian were more Humans then African people, which is certainly not a justification but rather a part of where it might come from.
Still I have to say that when you say that no Asian countries have been as violent with africans, I must tell you that during Covid Chinese people threw whole families out from their apartment and they were not allowed in stores to buy food. So I believe that in general Human beings everywhere still have to make efforts
@@blaklena the irony of Chinese ppl throwing africans out for covid
Havent you read the stories of Africans being killed in India you can find them if you search for them on google. Also the expulsion of Indians in Uganda wasnt unprecendented. Burma also kicked out more than three times the number of Indians from the country in 1964. Again you can research this. More than 300,000 Indians were expelled from Burma. Another Asian country did this to Indians so why dont Indians speak about this like they try to guilt trip Africans and black people in general for what Idi Amin did?
your last line isnt true.
@@blaklena not completely true. You should google how Africans are treated in India and you’ll see several stories of them being subjected to racism including mob attacks. Even against African women. Thankfully most of these stories reached a worldwide audience and it doesn’t seem to be as big a problem it once was. Either way, we should all learn from the past and respect each other. I have much love and respect for Indian culture and absolutely love the food 😋
In india racism is casual thing.... Because even in indian family two type of kid in house,one is little darker and another was little Fair, thats why we dont take seriously though...And if someone has fair skin more than the regular one, also face racism but in both cases racism is always a slighter mode, no one kill each other for skin colour like USA.....Largely tribal people from any where in part india has dark skin....we live with dark and fair people for ages.... Look india' s president, she is from tribal areas and she is more darker skin than any interviewer form this video....
Yes so true my mother used to say if I give birth to blacker kids as we are kashmiri she will not pick it up just jokingly but it affects yet when my sister married to someone really darker than her people did accept them and her kids too and they were given love swell yet they kept telling why did you marry someone darker than you you realise there is this kinda racism
Not all tribal are black, don't forget the north east Indian tribe
For a country where one of the most revered God literally means 'black one' (Krishna) and one of the most worshipped Goddess is literally 'The black mother' ( Kali Ma), we have developed, especially in North India, some strange fetish about skin tone. However it can't be denied that more than racism it is colourism which is prevalent and that too not from hate point of view. Can't be justified, but it is actually a lot more casual. People (especially not so educated) are just ignorant and don't realise it can be hurtful. People do have stereotypes about people of colour (both white and black) but can it be called racism?
Quick name one south Indian film where the lead actress is dusky
@@spilltea4241 don't know. I am from North of India and don't watch a lot of South cinema except a few runaway hits. I always thought South Indians are more comfortable with their skin tone
I'm not african but my family call me blacky because of my mild dark skin and they even told me to not drink tea as it'll make my skin dark, being white means beauty in india or as media and beauty products portraits in india, I am white for South Indians and black for north Indians.
Lol brown?
Yes so true and they feel of you are white you have it all but that's not true either they hate you inward or feel jealousy too as in India it leads to superiority inferiority thing of acceptance plus it's about casteism gods like grace karmic retribution a lot of such intertwined factors too😢😮lol
the main poin which we seem to be ignoring is, African population is close to 60k in 1.4b
we have a long way to go but earlier steps in right direction is good for both societies
That point was stated more than one in the video.

you guys are a beautiful couple
Glad you enjoyed it!
Siddis are tribes of India. Their roots are in Africa but they are now Indian. No doubt, initially, they faced discrimination. However, it has improved a lot. Recently, they also represent politically as law makers and dominating Olympic sports. Govt. is providing all sorts of support to uplift and mainstream them. One Siddi woman recently got a Padmashri award, which is the 4th highest civilian award in India.
I wish Ramnath would do great things in life and make India proud.
British rule has influenced Colour discrimination alot
At least no one got killed or arrested by cops or racially attacked because of their skin color like USA. Also it's 2023, India has changed a lot. Even beauty creams(previously fairness creams) brands has changed and evolved themselves. Dark skinned people are in every field now in India. Even our president is a dark skinned tribal woman.
Yeah okay. This was filmed in 2023.
@@TheDemouchetsREACT We need more dark sinned people in the country. This will help us be more aware. I personally have never come across one. People don't even know that people from other countries are living in India. Same kind of colourism is faced by white people as well , where they are asked for selfies everywhere. We need more integration of people coming to our country for different cultures so there can be acceptance. But yeah, I think people are getting more aware by the day with internet access everywhere. Hopefully we start seeing humanity as one.
I had a African Friend in India who studied with me in Bengaluru, but he was so hesitant to speak with us. just because he looked different it should be from both sides if you ask me.
As an indian, In this 1.4 billion populated country i could say colorism does not play that much role here
There is black indian, white indian, asian looking indian,brown skinned many colors in India they will be treated as same.
But You would be uncomfortable if you were a foreigner . whatever race you belong to white,asian,black you will be alienated because of the strong culture practiced here.
Eg: most people in India think white British guy or black African guy or Japanese Asia guy are alienated ..
In my perspective India has a caste issue, religion issue , language issue and social status issue colorism might be last among all these
I am indian in flesh and blood. When i was a child i always played outdoor sports and atheletics. I was very black in colour unlike my fair sibling and parents. However as i grew up and was in college my complexion changed and lightened up naturally and today people look back in disbelief and tell me i look like i belong to nothern india as i am quiet fair. India is colour obssed and it will never end.
see i live in India ,,,and its not common to see foreigners here other than tourist spots ,so people act differently,,,but its not like we think anyone is less but ya its getting better
I had a black friend back in middle school . So i can only talk about him . Actually he was the star of the school . He excelled in academy , he excelled in sports , this was the major reason why everyone wanted to associate with him , and thats why i chose to be friends with him .
Yes ,some bullies who were jealous of him , used to make fun of him however they could , but i never saw him get bothered about it , or maybe i never realised it cuz i was a kid too .
Its been so long since i last saw him . I wonder where he is now and what he is doing
I lived in India for few years and oh yes they are obsessed with skin color
Big Lack of proper Education in India about Ethnicity, Skin Color and bunch of stuff related to Akcent and things like that are really needed in here in India.
Canadian here and the saddest part was hearing that gorgeous woman say she grew up thinking she was ugly and no one would want her! I take people one on one and by the quality of their character and no orher reason!
She is a beautiful lady. It is sad how society impacts what we believe about ourselves. We wish you all could spread that Canadian positivity all over the world.
Why is she comparing herself to another ethnicity.
Obviously we do have certain preferences....beauty in one culture doesn't necessarily has the same standard in other cultures...most of the black women won't date white guys too... it's about personal preferences
Thanks for showing this. Hopefully with videos like this awareness will increase in Indian society.
I am black...and really we don't care these questions..we never take it seriously for colour.. no hating thing..
In our Indian families you can easily see black and white colors
Peter is such a positive person. So much to learn from dude.
india is different from any country in the world, every hundred km the test of water and language and life style changed.
Yes you can have regrets in india but you can still feel safe and find happiness
Ramanth ji is Indian n so other who accept n respect the culture of land. Nothing to do with bias...people need much open mindset both side color of skin does not guarantee privilege nor discrimination.
😂😂😂 ok so one thing. I feel this gets mistaken regularly by non-indians all over the world. "We STARE" 😂😂 Indians have a culture of staring. It's not meant to be disrespectful or hateful AT ALL! it's just that we stare, we like to look at people till our soul has satisfied it's curiosity. We stare at other indians alot too if they're interesting. We just like to people watch on a national level. Its mostly out of curiosity, not malicious nor are we getting ready for a fight. It's just the way we are, we look alot if we find people interesting or just people who are different. *Sorry about that. 😅 But please don't take that trait to heart. Spread it around too! So others know where we're coming from.
Racism in India against skin color is not only about being of African origin only, even the real native non-african people face color racism in India within community. There is a huge variety of skin color and being dark skinned in Northern part of India is kinda curse specially for females.
Hope this mentality changes 10-20 years down the line.
If you think that racism them remind them of lord jagarnath also know as kalia thakura
India also part of Africa ,
Indian plate called India Subcontinent.
We have five African origin families living in our society alone. Their kids study in local schools and are as local as the natives.
Its strange to here it from them that Indians dont like them. In North part of India, I can understand, in south it should be extremely less. In school, kids usually dont call other kid by their name, but a new name is given to every kid based on their colour, height, the way they talk, religion, the way they look etc, but no body does it with hatred, it is done only because they like you. I never thought, calling kalia, chinki, mallu, madrasi, pakistani, motu, patlu etc was hatred. This was absolutely normal and fun in 80s, 90s and at least till 2010. I believe kids these days are complaining for everything, they have stopped enjoying these things.
I have been called by so many names and I have called people by so many names and we all enjoyed.not sure if its the movies people watch these days or what that they feel insulted for everthing.
I definitely agree with them that when you go to villages, you will see some kind of discrimination.
I hear that a lot that name calling is because they like you or it’s all in fun. But in every ounce of sarcasm there’s a pound of truth. When kids are allowed to say insensitive things it will eventually follow them through adolescence and then adulthood. They then mock and discriminate against those same kids that they used to call names just for fun. The results are these stories we’re seeing on this video. Those people don’t seem to be having any fun 😢
The point of this video wasn't clear. For example I have friend of every skin tone in my group.we play,study,eat together. If your point is relationship then it is very hard to find someone who is interested in dark skinned people. Otherwise you will never find discrimination.
The point is the Black experience in India. It is THEIR experiences.
Why is it VERY HARD to find some who is interested in dark-skinned people for relationships?
@@adeOLUWA relationship is choice of people,we can't do anything about it. But except relationship,you will not find any type of racism or discrimination. People will invite you home to celebrate festival, india is multicultural country so we don't have problem who is white or black.
@@TheDemouchetsREACT they are mostly talking about how indian like white skin but that's not the case. Except marriage,I haven't seen anyone Caring about skin colour in india,99% population of india haven't seen a black/african person in their life.So it is obvious people will stare towards them,even white foreigners are treated same way
@@adeOLUWA Because of British rule. They brainwashed Indians people brains in thinking white-skin is more beautiful.
What an incredibly beautiful panel of people? India's not appreciating what it's got here.
LOOK AS INDIAN I CAN ASSURE YOU , WE ARE LOTS OF PEOPLE YOU KNOW ! SO THERE IS LOTS OF GOOD PEOPLE ALSO AND BAD TOO , I MEAN, EVERYTHING IS LARGE WHEN IT IS COMES TO INDIA
Even dark skinned Indians are discriminated, this isn't about race.
The topic is about race.
Yes that's there in India dating is not even easy in the Indian society as its a variety
I wish you guys can check a video on black people of Indian called the Siddis who have been in India over 400 yes they also exist in Pakistan
We’ve added it to the list. Very intriguing!
I think the people who touch her skin is because of the glowing and smooth skin she has so people check if it is make-up or something like that not for dust.
Colourism in India isnt based on race theory and purity like in West. Its rooted in classism: in India historically farmer population tend to be more dark skinned and thus r associated less prosperity.
Couple that with light skinned central asian rulers and European colonization u get people who are obsessed with euro-centric facial features and light skin.
Its same all over Asia snd even in Africam
i am from india; basically indians are not judging anybody on their colour; only indian sees how you dresses; how well you comb your hair; if you want truly to know how indians treat just you need dress up as an indian and try to speak the local language ; then i gaurantee you no one will judge you in india
Never be judgmental about India because they follow what they like
I have black friends from Ghana Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Nigeria. My 80% friends are black.
His mom is Indian and dad is Nigerian. If that's the case, then where is discrimination to find an Indian girl.
PS: Dating in Indian culture is tough. Often couples do not date openly, keeping it secret. These are normal things.
Guys u should do a video about Sidhi community in India u'll find it very interesting
Love from India
Funfact for fellow Indians:-
In the carribean (particularly Jamaica) racism was in the order- White> Blacks> Weaker Indians (U.P and Bihar).
- Only until Gujaratis and Sikhs (Trading stalwarts) visited the islands, the enslaved indians had some relief.
As a indian marriage different cast is difficult in india also . Means you can't every indian who you like. Caste system even really matter to our community. Even my parents say that if you marry in other caste don't even touch me or come to see me . They cut off all their relation with you . Who you are they don't care when it's come to caste. If you are miss world they first ask you your caste .😂
I think that's cuz lot of traditional,rules, culture clashed with each other's clans. Like people living like jains will feel hard to adjust in family having different dietary habits and vice versa. Or someone who think eating with hand is gross vs family who take pride in using hands. Or some clan where people wake up early in morning and do rituals like Pooja or Tulsi worship vs a family where rituals aren't given priority. Language and regional society also makes clans incompatible with each other. Indian society is family originated. So that's why it's said ,you are not only getting married to one person but also embracing whole family. That's why we give value to every relative's feelings and opinions. A kid take advice of uncles,cousin grandpas, aunts, grandmas, maternal uncles etc . In such a case , diverse family values will be hard to understand. Faith and common culture is what ties us together. We are proud bharatiya but I understand why clan system worked the way it did. Also some communities don't like certain communities because of tribal wars and community clash back in days.
Most of time it's not about jaati vaad or caste system,some clans or communities are not preferred by other communities (mostly richer) because of their past. Past is not something to be forgotten easily.You can still work for your future while keeping your past experience In mind. We are no different in modern world. Rich clans are blamed for their ancestors (how we assume each and every family did that) possibly opressed certain clans but we are doing same under disguise of victim card. Like how crime against memeber or rich family is ignored but any randomly crime happens against a member of certain clan becomes a major issue. The caste system still works but difference is ,poor clans are one openly abusing people of certain priest class who didn't even do anything wrong. It is like saying, just because invaders invaded india,we should eliminate everyone sharing their surname and faith.
As far as them assuming where you’re from they do that to wh ite people and always assume they’re American..I would never take offense to that though. I would love to see a video like this with other races too as far as how they’re treated, etc in India.
I think you don't get the point ....people seeing them reacting different is because of the uniqueness just find out percentage of 20-40 k to 1.4 bilion.
India is faaar better than america in terms of hate racism, and when you said i want him to come here to experience love, well they get the love, n who knows they go there and get killed in mass shooting.
I didn't say I wanted him to come here. That's the point you don't get. There is better than the oppression he has recieved his entire life there.
I know their's black people in India are. But it's still so interesting to hear the accent coming from the person
Yah indians never hate black ppl . Some just got surprised to see them first time ,because they only see them in movies .So some ppl stare at them when they see em first time. We have racism though, North Indians see South Indians as blacks even we are all mixed
my son is in 3rd class n has one black girl. i noticed everybody play with each other , participate in cultural events at school n children dont consider colour in their friendships
Our all gods and goddesses and one of his name is :- Krishna ( The all Attractive one ) even our goddesses like :- Mata (Mother) Kali 🙏✨🩵🕊️
The racism and Colourism was brought by the British to India during their 200 year colonial rule in India , They acted and Administered as they belongs to some superior race held and handcrafted by God himself , they treated Indians as the worst of creature with all racial features , After British left India ( India were poor and illiterate at that time) , The long rule made Indian subjected to exposure of Colourism as a superiority , This Hangover of "Superiority" made some Elite North Indian/Governing administrative authorities (which were fair in colour and working under the British) acted as superior to south Indians ( Dark in colour) and The caste System in India and the western influence made it worst , But with education and literacy , people are getting to know the Evils of Colourism and Racism , the young generations in cities like Mumbai , Delhi etc are quite friendly and modern with their thoughts and perceptions
U guys are always welcome in india.
At my last job here in Virginia, there were Indians from different parts of India. There were some with lighter skin color and some with darker skin color. One day, one of the lighter skinned Indian told me that if this was back in India, all of the black skinned Indians would be his assistants rather a manger. I also learned from another Indian that the black skinned Indians in the southern states are more educated than their lighter counter parts in the northern state.
🤯 The underdogs always ends up on top.
wtf bro Im an India but what you saying I heard it for the first time😂 there's nothing like north and south here in India there's only one identity which is Indian
@@TheDemouchetsREACT Wtf guys no one is underdog in India and this video producer is being propagator of India which spreads hates towards countries like INDIA and ISRAEL.. you don't know what India has done for the african countries the biggest peace keeping force in africa is The Indian Army and India always raised voice for these nation cause we were also in past colonized by brits. India liberated many countries in africa from british. have some correct documents listen to african leaders how they praises INDIA. INDIA is the voice of all non-white nations including africa/latin/south-east INDIA is called the leader of "The Global South"
Both r stereotypes.
Sorry, this has a strong whiff of BS. I live and work in the US (am of Indian origin) but I have worked in India as well. People are completely mixed up at the workplace back in India.Your boss could be someone 5 shades darker than you. It means nothing. Your friend might have been delusional or maybe was just lying to look like he was someone special.
I am Indian and one of the most beautiful girls I met was black. I still remember her but unfortunately I was married. 😢 I would have approached her if I wasn't
If one can't accept for the way they are..the problem is within.
We Indians call you for what you are because, it is normal for us and not discrimination.
If you are black and they call you white then you should get offended.
We have got names for everyone.
It is blessed to be called with the name of godess for being black.
We will call white people as ghosts.
Mostworst thing is
when an Indian is named as british for being white.
& calling North East Indians as Chinese.
Yet a friendly gesture but, literally frustating one 😂
Anyway it is not about color or race , it is all about loyality ,honesty, Fun that matters to us.
Don't get offended for silly things . If you don't like them to call you for what you are don't deny them. Just accept for what you are and love yourself.
In India , one can't escape from these names either in their own house.
When you accept it, you will know the beauty of it.
Only loved one's and carring affectionate people will call you with these unique names.
This used to happen in all countries. But everyone else has evolved from such nonsense and respect all humans instead of disparaging them. I also have a hard time believing that this is acceptable to all Indians. There are many Indians on social media complaining about online racism against Indians. If what you said is true then why are these young Indian adults complaining?
@@Anamika-ly7ux absolutely not. I hate racism and bigotry in any form. I’m one of those who speaks against online bigotry against Indian people. That’s the difference between you and I. I believe in standing up for those who are being unjustly attacked. Maybe you simply misunderstood my previous comment
I think racial discrimination should not happen. We should respect each other and get along. I am Indian buy have lot of black friends and they all are good I stay in USA
This is just sad to see. One of my bestfriends is black & she's the only black person I know in india but she has faced some of these things. My country has yet to grow.
We worshipped the Goddess kali Maa, Kali means Black and Maa means Mother 😊😊
And even we worship God Shri Krishna who is called as Black darked skin
We(only Hindus 🕉️) worship God and Goddess who defined as Black skin color
So now you can say there is no way we can discriminate
Ya very nice program. Both of you reaction well.nowadays all changed. Globally all humans very affectionate with all country peoples. So we have to give respect and love with all humans. Because life is very shot friends.thanks.
Real beauty came from there heard ❤️ brother not from by the colors. Iove from indeia
I stay very close to Sidhi community and for me i don't mind they are just Indian like everybody else
People generally think of Nigeria.. because most Africans here are from Nigeria.. :)
Bad and good people will be always there in any part of the world. I never seen colour racism happing in India,we a different zones where people are completely black . So if something is happening it's very bad we all are god kids we are not different
Even dark skinned Indians face colorism. India is a majority dark skinned country obsessed with light skin. Within a family multiple members are of different skin tone and among them the darker ones are casually made fun of for their complexion. Racism is very much a reality in India but colorism is different than racism.
Interesting video. This is eye opening for me.
If you can speak the local language in India, making friends is the easiest.
It comes as a shock to me hearing all these. Because neither I jad approached any indian or african or any other race's girls. I'm shocked to hear this. In some parts you might have encountered this unacceptance.
Hey you sometimes look like Hardik pandya😂 ,one of the best cricketer of india🎉
All that i would want to say is India today has the highest population on earth, and just 10-20 percent would not be that educated but the rest are all into the culture and we believe guests are our gods
I have to disagree with some of the people in the comments. This is not just about colourism. Racism IS an issue in India, it's just that the number of black people in India is really really low, and so our interaction with this topic is super rare. Racism in the Indian context normally pertains to people with East Asian features because that represents a much larger chunk of Indian society. North-East Indians experience racism on a daily basis despite being natively Indian. There's also alot of Tibetan refugees, Chinese immigrants, and Nepali/Bhutanese people living here who are treated terribly. Racial discrimination against black people is definitely something Indian media and the public needs to talk about. I remember reading an article about a black couple that got kicked out of their apartment because people started making up stories about how they consume human flesh.
As an Indian.... Who lived in both Urban and rural side of India..... It's really uncommon to see African looking INDIANS.... so i don't think it's people's problem if they see African person and be curious.... Most of us Indians are more black than African Black peoples..... I dont think its racism....
How? Siddis should be common enough, right?
Actually Both of my friends the person is misunderstood he feel that because of colour he misunderstood but not he looks like more African face that's why ..
India is discussing about Marriage equality(Same sex marriage) in Supreme Court and as a country India has made a lot of progress on LGBTQ+++ community issues. We have our own standards we don't just blindly follow western standars. America got it's independent 250 yrs ago India just 75 yrs ago. So we will be modernizing our country at our pace.
Majority people follow Hindu culture and even our Gods are Black to whom we worship....God Shree Krishna, God Shree Vitthal, God Shree Balaji, God Shiv Mahadev....and many....❤ If this interviewrs really face some problems in India ... They will not stay there that means thay are staying by there will ....
also i like to enlighten the most important things here that our Indain Constitution our Law of the country has strict provisions against such discrimination....of cast, colors and racism....🙏
The way women love tall guys.....some people have mental problem... 😂
?
For some reason in India White is beautiful and dark skin is not. Unfortunately this is the sad reality and people are changing and we are seeing people with dark skin getting seen as beautiful. It will take time, this was embedded in older people and they were sad if their kids were born with dark skin.. They were worried that they have hard time finding good match. It is slowly changing.
In Ameica Guns Free any one keep that and use no worries over there
Only Americans are discriminate black people's all over the world and they called them dogs, and behaves very very hateful speech against them, but In India whole people behaves are same by not seeing their faces not their religion, skin colour, So All universe people's definitely called India is vasudhaiv kutunbakam❤
India is not very welcoming of dark-skinned people. Ironic, that the name "colorist" Indians call dark skinned people, is the name of one of their goddesses, who happens to be dark. And they say it in a derogatory way.
Some of the nice ones will be less nice if you pick romantic or marital interest in a fair-skinned Indian.
Then their Caste System which is thousands of years old, might be a contributing factor.
I hope unbiased Indians can educate us, because it seems that the higher the caste, the less dark-skinned people you find.
Truly said
Hmmm well this is ironic. We’ll research this.
Yes, it's true. Higher the caste, more light skinned are the people. That's why you see such diversity in skin color in india. Many brahmins(higher caste) people are considered the true descendants of aryans, and have light skin colors like turkish or Israeli people. Where as the lower caste people, are actually native to india and have darker skin tones. India also consists of many tribes, so they also have darker skin tones. It's not as easy to classify indian colorism because there are so many socio cultural factors that come in here. There are Indians who look just as dark, or even darker than east Africans. So whenever people see dark skinned people they associate it with lower caste. I can tell you with experience that Indians who are dark skinned face the SAME racism that these Africans in india are facing. It's not particular to Africans. The colorism is to the extent that, the God you mentioned to be dark skinned( lord Krishna) isn't even portrayed to be a dark skinned person. Everywhere you search lord krishna, you will find pictures of him with blue skin. Just to Indicate that he isn't from the lower caste. This is actually because of the idealogical divide between early vedic period and later vedic period.
@@afkass4965 Wow. Thank you for explaining. But aren't they afraid of annoying their idol when they change his skin colour?
Caste system has nothing to do with Color! Why would you say that? There have been many historical people who happened to be of higher caste and also happened to be of darker tone!
Acharya Kautilya Vishnugupt Chanakya (from 4th century BCE) who belonged to the Highest caste was dark toned!
I've a neighbor whose skin tone way more darker than any African I've ever seen also happens to be from Highest caste.
Even Our Supreme God Krishna was Dark toned! So caste system had nothing to do with skin color!
Im from chennai,tamilnadu(south india) 'we also black' this video is all about north india whatever🤷 I had a nigirian girl neighbour in my life ,we same school she is my junior living in same hood,no offense her story is one coward nigirian man refused to live here in India abscond after making her indian mom pregnant,no one knows who is he either no contact from anyone,our hoods funds raised that poor girl nigirian her schooling and everything,what happened now is after all she finished college well developed then moved with her mother somewhere far she dispear like her father no thanks nothing what our people done 😂hope you all understand how we are than others,at the end we are the dullard and wrong people they spread all over,this is why some peoples trust nobody outside Indian peoples
Most of the Indians never came across black community or people , all the impressions for Indians about the black people got from the news from USA such as drugs & arms dealing etc
My mom is most beautiful. She has a dark skin tone. But truth is people do get judged by skin tone in India. But I think this mainly comes from colonialism.
Did anyone say u that indian workship lord jagarnath also know as kala thakura mean the god who is black
They are living in the North part of India, when they come to deep down South they look same. Lol
Tell me what colour you are while playing holi😂😂😂
Hi I'm from India 😅😊❤
i agree
This doesn't happen in Northeast. Its probable occured in north, west, or south. Dunno. But I have no hatred towards black people. In fact, I want to marry a black girl
Most of the Indian think it is not good to date with anybody extra marital affairs., but so many people still have illegal affairs.
Indian people don't care about any colour be it white or black or brown.....as long as people are respectful or friendly or funny or all of the above..... If you speak words of disrespect about India, even if it is true, then they resiprocate...
I don't think its about colour or race... If you feel different you will be different... India has more races then any other country in the world... USA has much more racism then any other country... Just blend in India and i don't think you will ever feel different...
There are Karen's in india to😢...but if you guys ask about racism we all face it everyday even inside our house 😂😂my mom even said to me once...i think the nurse in the hospital changed my son i dont know i need to ask her... these things are common and fun way we talk here😂😂
i love Africa .
I would never call that hell home. You feel oppressed 24/7. I stayed there for 4 months and i never felt free. As soon as i live my house, a feeling of sadness engulfs my heart knowing someone will mistreat me, look at me bad. India is not black friendly. They will have you as a superficial friend.
India is now on No 1 in matter of Biggest Population in the world surpassing China ... Now China is No 2
We just included African union in G20 ☺️now it became G21 😊Do I have to say anything else 😊
It's not about colour in India it's More about what your caste is.
As an Indian person with little dark tone in my childhood other children think about different in colour and not play with you but it's not that when you grow up you have no chance in grouping with other people.
And about marriage and stuff people can't go against their parents because of arrenge merriage.
And when approaching to other people what matters most is how your behaviour and how confident you are is.
And Indian people don't really approch women because girls are too scary for man to handle. ( Women ☕ )
