BUtterfield 8 41,506 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 A Bollywood film’s song about Beyoncé has earned the ire of many online for its racist and sexist lyrics. Eyebrow raising lyrics: The song titled “Beyoncé Sharma Jayegi,” received criticisms for its lyrics which included a line that translates to, “Beyonce will feel insecure after seeing you, fair-skinned lady.” The song was performed by Indian actors Ananya Panday and Ishaan Khatter who played the leads in the movie. Indian musical duo Vishal-Shekhar composed the track for the upcoming Bollywood film “Khali Peeli.” Vishal Dadlani, one of the writers of the song, came out in support of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement just a few months ago. A video of the song was uploaded to YouTube on Sunday and has so far generated nearly 10 million views as of this writing. The song has over 840,000 dislikes compared to only 88,000 likes on the video-sharing site. The song also made sexist references toward women about being “gaudy” and having “lots of tantrums.” https://nextshark.com/bollywood-beyonce-fair-skin-lady-racist/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Sadly this is normalized in most none white countries in the Middle East (where im from), India, Africa, and Asian countries. Even though they are not white, they openly view whiteness as the ideal beauty standard and criticize darker people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAMROD 109,819 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I am not surprised, lots of light skinned Indians who mainly Punjab/Delhi/Chandigarh did the same shiz or worse to Tamil Indians who got dark skin as well. This happened anywhere, light skinned always have certain affair towards discrimination and racist behavior.

Power of GGD? .12M dislikes instantly? OT: It's stupidity and racism at its peak. They are getting dragged left and right in India for this. Unfortunately, it is normal in most Asian countries to discriminate for being other than fair.

Pennywise 36,079 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 A lot of people have talked about how this is racist (and it is, just not in the way most people think of), so I'm gonna talk about something else. Please note that the glorification of white skin in India (and other countries that were colonized) is the DIRECT RESULT of colonization and suppression of culture. So, the ones that are REALLY to blame are, yet again, western and European countries, if you really want to point fingers. Of course this is a part of the color-ist Bollywood culture, where dark skinned Indian women are shunned, and of course this is terrible, but this is not a one-dimensional problem. Also remember that de-colonization is not simply getting rid of other countries' authority, it is also taking your culture back. Getting rid of the colonial mindset is much harder than getting rid of colonizers themselves. So long ggd, it was nice while it lasted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
