Ohh yeah now I remember. It seems a regular stereotypical jab, like the jokes in the sitcom 2 Broke Girls.

Back then Racism, body shaming, jokes on women were taken on a light note (not getting into the impact or affect of those remarks in the society) so bringing old songs n movies doesn't makes sense as it was Accepted by everyone from that generation to This generation as well.

No not racist I don't think. They are not putting down another race. But there is colorism here which is so common that it's almost pointless to point them out.

True, but it is hella uncomfortable to listen to in today's age.

But jokes on skin color would be taken as racist in the Western world. In India too, it's very nasty colorism.

And what about

"Chittiyaan Kalayaan?"

"Jiski biwi moti"

"Hum kaale hai toh kya hua"

And many more...

Anyway I like Chatur Nath
