        @calestous India's obsession with light skin is a byproduct of british colonialism when Indians were told being white is better

        @calestous @BPeshwa Such ads are an insult to many people. They also unnecessarily propagate a stereotype which is not true

        @calestous Indian TV actors and presenters bear zero resemblance to 99.9% of Indian population. That's why they're on TV I imagine
