I'm from India. People here are very racist too, not just towards foreigners but even amongst themselves. Fair skin is practically thought to be good you're automatically considered good looking or handsome if you're light skinned. Education has brought a lot improvement, but the obsession with skin color is still deeply rooted. It's the kind of mindset that lingers in a developing country grappling with modernity and old prejudices.
I also noticed that fat people got different treatment than your, run-of-the-mill skinny people. It didn’t take much fat to be considered fat, either.
