>>213144715Yeah, golden skin is idolized even in India.
Indra is said to have a golden-yellow radiant complexion (hiraṇyavarṇa) according to the Ṛgveda.
This is the stereotypical skin colour associated with upper castes.
The white chuds here assume this means we idolize their pale or pink skin, but that's not true.
In fact, pale or pink skin was associated with leprosy by ancient Indians (according to the Italian adventurer Giovanni Careri).
