In this rat race to be fair, Haven't we skewed our perceptions Of beauty, and how we should be? It sure shouldn't be based, On the tone of your skin! Wouldn't you consider it demeaning, If you were the one ridiculed?

Beauty
In this rat race to be fair, Haven't we skewed our perceptions Of beauty, and how we should be? It sure shouldn't be based, On the tone of your skin! Wouldn't you consider it demeaning, If you were the one ridiculed?
Here in India, all I see is people wanting to be fairer. Look around, and fairness cream ads are everywhere. And the sad part is, more and more girls are buying into the crap; even boys are now!
