And no, you can't be politically incorrect when you are on TV/public platform and especially when you are celeb as people expect better out of you. Celebs are supposed to be more open minded and accepting, look at hollywood stars...they are all liberal. If Celebs are like this, then why should we expect anything better from regular people.

If this happened in the west/US, urvashi's career would have been finished at that point. Look at what happened to mel gibson after his anti-semetic rants. The guy is pretty much isolated. Shilpa in big brother ? Plenty of examples. It's an unwritten rule in hollywood  that if you talk shit about any race esp. blacks/jews/minorities, you are done 4 life. But the sad thing is this kind of racism gets a pass in india and even tacit approval from authorities/celebs/figureheads. I really hoped that bigg boss would eliminate her to set an example or Salman would take it up during the eviction episode but sadly it didn't happen.

And ladies and gentleman that's one of the reasons why I don't live over there and hopefully never have to go back. I still have flashbacks from my childhood when I was constantly teased due to my ethnicity.

And don't get me wrong, I also oppose all the racist comments in the past season against Veena , Vida and Claudia as well. It really does show us in a poor light.

Outside of India, we already have a pretty bad reputation of being racist and judgmental of people with less money. Everyone has also taken notice of the  ridiculous skin whitening cream ads from our bollywood actresses. This shit only does more harm. It's even worse when some one like Salman (or other hosts) gives it a free pass.

Just a note, it's not only about the fariness skins. Even in the west, whites are crazy about tanning and it's a multi million industry here from Tanning Salons to creams to etc etc. So basically the point is, it's not only about South Eastern countries, but people in general aren't satisfied with what they have. I agree all these whitening creams or craze is silly and ignorant. But aesthetic issues can be found globally and not only in Asia.
