The problem is these things are not even shown in the subtle way, and the explicit way of film making leaves a bad taste.Praveen Krishnanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07066449552055203870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13785822.post-34994366002832475652007-07-21T02:04:00.000-07:002007-07-21T02:04:00.000-07:00@praveen ,Sorry for that i did get it wrong.I was ...@praveen ,<BR/><BR/>Sorry for that i did get it wrong.I was reading lotsa shivaji blogs and posted in the wrong one.But dont u think this happens more in southern movies than in northern movies.The complex for the fairer skin goes a long some way back esp in teh southern indian culture.Its pitiful that people can enjoy these in the name of comedy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13785822.post-33521455057112989402007-07-20T06:58:00.000-07:002007-07-20T06:58:00.000-07:00Anonymous: You have got me wrong here!!!

It has no overtones of hailing the western countries as angelic. Anyways, it was not my point to praise one country vs the other. The whole point was to raise the "fairness" issue and I felt it was wrong!!!!Praveen Krishnanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07066449552055203870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13785822.post-14488984051138114592007-07-13T00:31:00.000-07:002007-07-13T00:31:00.000-07:00I am not calling them racist neither am setting ou...I am not calling them racist neither am setting out to prove that we are better than what they are..I just want you to or for that matter anyone to refrain from hailing them as angels when they are not.

And also the Europeans are very famous for calling us Brownies and the Africans blackies.....

It is a relative term. <BR/><BR/>Yeah, casteism and racism are two different issues plaguing the society. It is a kind of hindrance to the society and even we have succumbed to these issues :-(<BR/><BR/>No problem about the blogrolling.

Haven't seen Shiva but are you sure it was only b'coz of their dark colour or they were shown as dumbs also ? in which case I think it is ok.<BR/><BR/>Well, abroad I can't say they tolerate always (thr are other types of racial issues) but yes it is very common to see marriages between a dark & a white.<BR/><BR/>Like castes, I would like to call it an issue of racism.
