Majority of people in India don’t look like that. A artist in South India will also paint the goodness white because they prefer white skin over dark skin.

Yes, because of colorism.

It’s sad to see people paint Indians so light skinned even today. It makes sense for ancient artist because of colorism, but I assumed people would be better today.

Dude I’m literally South Indian. I know my culture. I specifically mentioned painting because the artist has a choice in the color they use. A black granite is black, they have used white stone as well. They don’t have a choice in the color because they chose stone that were available to them. Are you seriously suggesting Indian don’t have a colorism issue or are you suggesting colorism didn’t affect our art?
