I’ve been very upset about all the “fairness cream” advertisements in Pakistan. I find them very discriminatory and insulting for a nation where easily 95% population is not exactly very fair (white). If it was in my power I’d ban all these promotions.
My good friend Faisal Khan has shared some videos on his blog which address this very issue. I found the this video of particular interest. Thanks for sharing Faisal.

It’s so ridiculous seriously! specially when they make it the way to get good “rishtas”. It’s disgusting and yes very insulting

It’s funny how in Europe the opposite is the case. People spend fortunes on getting tans and would do anything to have the kind of skin we in the sub-continent are born with.
