I think 90% of east Indian culture sucks too, to be perfectly honest. I like our ancient shit, but in general I'm not a proud bengali either. That being said, I have no racial complex. I love being brown and I'd never pick anything else. I have no desire to lighten my skin, I make it darker when I can. But that's because I was raised mostly in the west and not infected with that east Indian light-skin fanaticism.
Well, the big deal isn't that those kids don't listen to Bollywood or stuff like that. It's that they hate absolutely anything involving India. I mostly watch Hollywood movies and listen to English songs, but then again I live in Texas so
. I'm the same as well. I'm light skinned for an Indian, but I prefer to be darker. A bunch of North Indian girls I know are obsessed with being light skinned despite being raised in the west. If I ever have kids in the future, I'm going to make sure they don't inherit that light skin dark skin attitude.
