Double standards.

Monkey in a suit asks some tough questions.

I think what appalls me most is that just as Unilever, the owner of Dove products, changes its branding to the preachy “Real Beauty” adverts in the United States, they’re eagerly capitalizing on the increase in disposable income for Indian women by re-peddling age-old prejudices in Indian society regarding skin colour. Because American women deserve “real beauty” but Indian women do not..

    Interesting. Is it because there is a latent demand for fair-skinned women in India?

    Commenting on his marriage to Seema Raj, from an upper caste (Khatri/Punjabi Kshatriya), he said “I am very dark, almost black, but my wife is as fair as an English woman and I must say that although ours was a love marriage in which her intrinsic qualities mattered more than looks, I found her fair skin very attractive”.
