Prejudice"Are you prejudiced?" asks StapMyVitals. Have you been a victim of prejudice? Are you a columnist for a popular daily newspaper? Don't bang on about how you never judge people on first impressions - no-one will believe you.

I feel for both of youIMHO, Indian prejudices can be very debilitating - what makes them even worse is the utter *crap* they are based on.
Just so you know, it works across the board as well - e.g. a Sikh marrying a Jain would be viewed like a dog + cat setting up house.
Keep strong and ignore the two-bit f*****s

I visited India a few years ago..Amazing place, and culturally breath-taking.
The amount of times i was asked to 'bless' a baby to bring good luck to the family was beyond me.
But you're right about the pro-western image, and the 'whitening' skin formula. Quite upsetting really, when the natural tones of Indian skin and the beauty of an Indian woman in a Sari outweighs the typical t-shirt and jeans image that they strive for.
Incidentally, it was an amazing place and i do wish to go back.
