You are extremely correct about South Asians preferring fairer features in men and women. In India, most matrimonial ads specify the fairness of the individual as a kind of added qualification. I do not know why this is. I guess it has been that way since ancient times, maybe because whiteness or fairness tends to indicate a better caste. You see, in India, marriages between diverse communities are rare. We tend to marry within our communities. Most people belonging to the upper castes – ‘Warrior Ksatriyas’ and Brahmins, as well as people of royal descent – tend to be extremely fair. Many even look like Europeans.
