Why can't they just accept it as a fact that it's other people's business what they want to prefer??
y wont they feel inferior if they have to settle for less than something they deserve just bcoz they are not fair? wht if an educated girls gets married to a guy who is less educated than her and a fari girl gets married to a guy who is much moreeeee educated to her?
You can't blame the more educated guy because he likes fair girls. It's his life, he will be the one who will have to spend the rest of his life with his wife. Will anyone else help him in living his life. No, and that's why noone has the right to judge what choices he make.
View fairness as just that then. It makes your features more prominent (except for the eyes maybe). So, if someone wants to be fair, s/he is just trying to accentuate his/her natural features.
fairness make u look fat.
Maybe people like to look fat and prefers people who looks fatter. Ain't that a personal choice too. What right does anyone else have to say that people shouldn't prefer fair cos it makes one look fat.
Who created it?? The literatures and currently the movies.
if u talk abt the new genertion then u will find all the new actors are exceptionally fair and the actresses are quiet dusky so that is a change but in real life if u see the mentality hasnt changed till now
See, there u go again. Why is it so important that people change their preferences?? People will like whoever they want to, except for in the off chance that they like criminals the only thing we can do is accept it.
Even they are the personal opinions that are getting expressed and somtimes it is about what the public will like more. If I think that fair people are more beautiful what is wrong in that. And if a majority of the people thinks like me and that becomes a culture in your opinion, even then what is wrong in it. After everything is said and done, it still remains a personal choice.
Do we ask the same questions if someone or a group of people or a whole nation sees dark skin as superior beauty??
that what y do we confine ourselves to definig beauty?
If you've read my earlier post you'll already know my views about it. You want people to give up defining beauty, fine. I'll ask you to start with yourself then first. Look at your room. Why did you arrange the furnitures in a particular way?? Why did you paint your walls the particular shade that you liked?? You could've easily played eenie meenie minie moe with the paint catalogue and picked up a random shade for your room. Why did you choose the particular clothes that you bought, there were thousands others where you bought them from, if they were of your size what was wrong in buying them?? Why do you like the mobile phone that you use, why not one of those bricks from the 90's?? Why are you using the computer wallpaper that you are using, why not a wall paper of Saddam Hussain getting hanged?? Why does most people keep cats and dogs as pets, why not snakes or spiders??
As long as it's a matter of personal choice, there'll be personal emotions attached with it. Personal choices are not completely rational and you can't totally define them by logic. And emotion about aesthetic sense is innate for every human being. You can't change it even if you want to cos you won't be able to change yourself in the first place.
if u r talking abt personal choice then there is nothing wrong in racism and nothing wrong in casetism also its there personal choice.. that is also a personal choice. even girls prefering rich guys is also not wrong
First of all, girls preferring rich guys is not wrong. Girls want financial security and there is nothing wrong with that.
Secondly, racism or casteism is wrong because it involves giving the coloured or people of lower caste less privileges or physically or verbally insulting them. What we have here is choices that people make freely without hurting anyone or giving them less rights. You can't compare apples to oranges.
