Hey atomoinis, what are you mad about? That Indian culture is not going global like Koreans or Indians having bad skin, big nose and fat body? I mean these two things are not necessarily related.

Also, which Indian celeb these days are like that? You seem to be conflating foreign celebs' looks and average desis' looks.


The things that have been brought up such as, skin tone, bad teeth, plastic surgeries etc umm what?Make up, braces and face surgeries & procedures are more prevalent in the West and Korean industry. Let alone being totally out of line but your argument doesn't even make sense 😆

I don't agree with the blanket statement that Desis indeed lacks looks, skin quality, height, shape, aura, charisma.


First of all we have not seen all Desis. And second these are relative terms.. like you can have fair and flawless skin but you can still have dull skin compared to complete white people in America, idk what exactly mean skin quality here. I agree with one fact that Koreans eat lot of fresh fruits and vegetables which can make their skin look healthy but we can't say a skin is healthy based on how white it is and there is another thing called make up you don't know which people use make up on their face.


My mom and her kids including me inherited fair and flawless skin from my grandfather and I don't think anyone having fair and flawless skin or skin of white people is superior to others like Anushka shetty looks more pretty than Tamanna, I really don't get the obsession with fair skin everywhere. Like many pretty people in India are not even that fair but they still looks gorgeous than fair skinned indian heroines. Example: Parvati menon, Anushka shetty, Simran are miles ahead compared to fair skinned Tamannah.


Even Height I believe Indians average height is not that short compared to other countries.


Even charisma I believe it's again relative. I find Indian women very charismatic in general.


I would like to clarify - when I said "Indian average height is not that short compared to other countries" I totally meant that - Indians are not that shorter than the people of other countries, they are only little bit shorter than those of other countries.


And I defended Indians looks in this post bcz as I thought Desis means only Indians, that's why defended only Indians.


I nowhere meant to look down white people/Korean people in my post.. I meant - no one is superior than others based on skin complexion, there are many other factors which decides the beauty.

And scars, lines we can't see when one wear make up and we don't know who wear make up or not, when I said this I nowhere meant people who wear make up are inferior. I meant how one can decide about scars/lines without seeing actual skin without makeup


Just wanted to clarify what I meant before anyone from Korean or American get offended. 😆

People totally tend to forget that India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal all were included in a single country before partition 😆 and they share the common history, culture, racial similarities to the maximum extent and people in this thread are comparing between these countries too as if partition line separates history, culture, racial similarities etc., 😆

Me? Why? I made only 4 posts 😆.. If you meant "long essay".. No, I don't get tired of writing long essay. I get tired if I have to think how to put a thing into concise or short manner.
