Bollywood stars have taken to social media in support of the Black Lives Matter movement and racial injustice protests across the United States. But critiques of selective activism have also emerged, pointing out that these same stars have promoted skin whitening creams or have failed to speak out for the plight of migrant minorities in India. Priyanka Chopra — whom Forbes called “arguably the most successful Bollywood actor to cross over to Hollywood” — Sonam Kapoor — winner of India’s prestigious Filmfare Award in 2017 — and Disha Patani — who starred alongside Jackie Chan in the film “Kung Fu Yoga” — were among those criticized for posts promoting social justice and arguing that all skin colors deserve respect.

Hmmm, why aren’t there any skin blackening creams on the market? To help all those light skin blacks to not have to walk around all ashamed and sh*t?

Wasn’t there once a Republican registered, menthol cigarette smoking vegetarian, who kept a picture of Gandi in his dining room, vacationed in Acapulco, and never once complained about the color of the skins wore by the Aztec after a good systemic flailing? Sure. Table manners you know.
Ask Rachel Dolezal or Shaun King aka Talcum X.
That’s a cow of a different color
And here I thought Indians (dot) were racially “Caucasians”. Despite their darker skin.
Padma Lakshmi is from India. She is a celebrity chef now on tv. Just an excuse to port the link to her in a bikini : )
