If he really did say such a thing then that is really nasty...
We as a community really need to stop using dark skin as a synonym for bad looks and vice versa...
But the textbook definition of racism is targeting someone for their race, and Akshay is the same race as her (Indian)...
What that was was colourism... it has it's roots in colonisation and racism but one Indian person saying something negative about another Indian's skin colour can't be referred to as racism... that is no more racist than a white person mocking another white person for being ginger or something π
