Whitening Creams ....Racism in a Bottle

"Marhaba Beauty Parlour...dark skin is a thing of the past ....become fair skinned in just 8 sittings" ....this was a sign i read in one of the many beauty saloons for women in some localities of hyderabad...i wonder if the india obsession with white or Fair skin would ever end.but i feel this is a global phenomenon and viewing it from an indian perspective would not help.
A quick look at the matrimonial columns of any news paper,all that you would see are ads asking for fair ,tall and good looking brides.Agreed that no one would want to marry a fat-short -dark one.But one has to wonder as how this obsession with skin colour has been converted into a market.Major cosmetic and FMCG companies have come out with a wide range of skin whitening creams for both sexes.Whitening creams for men..this is the height mann...
i guess the concept of "Tall-dark-handsome" is now a thing of the past.now its "does matter-fair-MBA ..." .
