Why is in Hollywood movies or western movies Indians has to look only dark skin toned inspite of many people in India having light skin toned? This question was asked to me on Quora which is a social media app for asking questions and getting answers Read the answer below Have you heard about term opportunistic situation? That's what is going on in Hollywood movies or western movies. Now let me explain in detail- Almost 65% people of India are dark brown skin toned. But rest of the people either medium brown skin toned or light brown and whitish brown skin toned but if you watch any western movies, you won't find that at all. They always pick Indian people with particular looking. In their mind, particular looking dark skin toned Indians are the authentic Indian. Now this is helped by the fact that in India there is complexity around dark skin toned people. In India, it always has been a stupid superstition about dark skin toned people as ugly or lesser beings. So when there's a legitimate outrage against it. It was used by the western countries to their advantage.
