This argument of “where is indian lightskin rep in hollywood?” is so frustratingly flawed because it gives the same energy as asking - “why isn’t there a Men’s History Month, men are equally important”. Please realize your massive privilege before you try to snatch someone else’s opportunities.

It’s not dark skin representation that people are pissed off abt. It’s the fact that Hollywood will only cast dark brown Indians usually. Yes Indian entertainment industries not casting dark brown people is bad but the reverse is also the same because both can’t represent India’s diversity. Indians range usually are light to medium brown with medium brown being the most common. Light skin and dark brown skin isn’t in the majority which is why people point it out in both scenarios

it's sm worse on Instagram, cuz there was a short film about how Indian beauty standards affect men's ideology of women, and the main actress was dark skinned guess what the comments said... "there are too many blacks in Bollywood where is the light skin representation!!!!!"

These actresses were casted in shows created by Indian and black women. So no, not a stereotype. They represent very real Indian women characters

99.8% dark skinned Indians only Hollywood will show. People get shocked when they see got fair & tan ones too.

my_y2kdairy :
indian people are very diverse, indian cinema doesn’t show proper representation at all ( even dark skinned girls lighten their skin to fit in). hollywood showing dark skinned indian people is so refreshing. i agree people are being dramatic, there is only a small amount of dark skinned actresses in hollywood but in indian cinema they are ridiculed

indian media doesnt cast anyone with melanin is false, because a lot of male actors are not very light skin, its got more to do with misogyny rather than colourism because men dont really experience this kind of colourism in representation

Also like Richa Moorjani isn’t literally light skin. And like what dark skin rep do we have aside from never have I ever and Bridgerton?

There’s like a bunch of medium to light skinned actresses in Hollywood, but for some reason the 3-4 darker ones send them spiraling. It’s such odd behavior.
