Despite having the second highest population in the world many people are unaware of the diversity of Indian people. People online have misconception that all Indians have the same skintone which is dark. Indians have various skintones due to the varying climates which differ regionally in India. Due to the cold weather in the North people residing there have lighter skin while people in Southern India have darker skin as they are closer to the equator. People think Bollywood actresses don't look Indian, but they are as Indian as they get. I would understand people saying that if Indian actresses had foreign heritage or were of mixed races, but they are not. They have 2 Indian parents so that comes from ignorance. This is all because some want to go out of their way to make it seem like Indians are unattractive for whatever reason, but some are and some aren't just like with any other nationality, so I dedicate this thread to hopefully fight those stereotypes, ignorance, and racism towards Indian women. Indian men as well, but since this section is women it will only feature women.
