Dark and Lovely: South Asians & Colorism

In this second episode which delves into the notion of South Asians and colorism, the hosts discuss all aspects of our obsession with the lighter skin - whether it's the "Fair & Lovely" face cream, the tone filter on shaadi.com or our own parents telling us not to stay out in the sun for too long. What is also discussed is the why - where did this stem from and how as a society we ended up discriminating those with darker skin.  How does this also parallel with the racism we see within the Western World, especially within this past year, and how and where we can begin to dismantle these belief systems and embrace all the shades of brown, because dark is lovely too.
