Racial Discrimination and Beauty standards Ft. Anushri Tewari

We all know about the term “racism”, we all have experienced it at some point in time, haven’t we? Sometimes intentionally or unintentionally, people discriminate against us on our origin, skin color, etc. At a point in time, I was obsessed with being fair & trust me it sucked. Everything was supposed to be about fairness; I only considered people beautiful if they were fair. Then slowly, I realized that skin color has nothing to do with being beautiful, beauty lies in different places for everyone. Nonetheless, we tend to promote "White supremacy". Why? because we have been living in a society where being fair is everything, without even realizing we promote "White supremacy”, we should stop and think about how our actions affect the people around us.

Black or Asians or Indians or Russians, everyone has been discriminated at least once, for eg in India people discriminate their own people more than other country’s...for what? just because they’re dark-skinned or belong from another state, we don’t even respect each other, then how possibly can we respect people from another country? Talent doesn’t depend on a person’s look or origin. A person may be of different skin color and might be an expert in playing the piano. We need to understand people are beautiful in their own way and that their looks don’t define who they are, their personality does. that’s all that matters. No race is greater, no race is lesser.
