Yeah, you're right. Bhil and Dogra are identical.

India is not that diverse.



Man, this statement is very wrong. India is one of the most diverse countries in the world, linguistically and racially.

All of the contestants are all very light, with no darker complexions women being represented.

Darker complexion women represent the vast majority of Indian women. I’ve been to densely and sparsely populated areas on north, central and south India. I didn’t recall seeing hardly any lighter complexion women outside of large advertisement billboards and posters.

Watch most of what’s put out of Bollywood. Same trend. It’s not just limited to this pageant.

That's because skin color in India, SE Asia and many other places is a proxy for class.

Many developing countries equate dark skin with agricultural work and being poor. Light skin means you aren't in the sun and likely have a good office job.
These places sell skin whitening creams and cosmetics like they're Michael Jackson.

Top tier Indian women are some of the hottest around.

I also read that they are running out of light skin women in India so they started importing in light skin south American women to star in advertisements and shite

Those aren’t saris, you hayseed. They’re lehengas. Try to find a south Asian friend or two.

Indian women are hot. I dated one in college. They naturally fill out their sweaters nicely.

If you spend too much time with them you’ll have to scrub the curry smell off your Johnson.

Also if you meet their family and you’re a big white baw don’t expect much love.

I'm calling BS on this. They have a billion people, I doubt light skinned is that uncommon.

Here, they would have three fatties, a few butt ugly women of some obscure ethnicity, a woman with one leg and one eye, one who used a walker, a transitioning male, a male who identifies as female, a prego and a zit face.

Yoni. That's all I've got to add to the discussion.
