The only gas is curry fumes coming out from her black pussy.
hanor, much ado (and adoi) about nothing.These race-baiting SJW outrage merchants... you give them one inch, they'll take one yard.
Down the slippery slope we go... until one day reparations for 'systemic racism' and public kneeling in front of brown/black people becomes mandatory.

black is black, the only thing that separates them is the shade of characteristics - notice the bayis aren't that into playing the race-card, only the pundeks indulge in this here
Black is black, you don't have to feel so bad.
They are ashamed of their own color.
I would ask her, if she die and reincarnate, would she still want to come back as a filthy indian?
I think she rather be a cute dog, a WHITE cute dog.

Shit has many colors from yellow to dark green
Bollywood movies are discriminatory in so many ways: race, colour, class, gender, education etc.
The hero and heroine are always fair, good-looking, from well-bred background, usually middle- or upper-income, educated.
The baddies are usually dark-skinned, from rough and uneducated backgrounds, poor, ugly.

You mean like star wars Darth Vader. All black.
Darth Vader turned out to be a good guy. While the emperor is as pale as a maggot.
Did you even watch the movie stupid?
How can it b racists when the shitskins are the biggest buyers of skin whitening products?She's happily coated with a layer of shit and smelling like a filthy shitskin.

Skin-Whitening Products Are Still Big Business in Asia
Cosmetics brands changed their marketing after global BLM protests, but the creams, lotions, and moisturizers live on.By

Fighting Colorism in Beauty Aisles

WATCH: Fighting Colorism in Beauty Aisles
The Black Lives Matter protests of 2020 also put a spotlight on marketing pitches and consumer products with racist or colorist legacies around the globe. Some companies in the U.S. responded by dropping Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben’s, and other racially charged brands. In the cosmetics world, however, not much has changed. A popular commercial on the YouTube channel of French cosmetics giant L’Oréal SA’s Garnier skin-care brand in Thailand shows how its Sakura White masks and creams can help women achieve “Korean pinkish skin” in only a few steps. “It’ll transform dull skin to bright-pink color in just seven days,” a woman says in Thai, her smile growing wider as her skin transforms from dark to light. The video has had 11 million views.
Skin whitening in Asia is big business. From Japan to India, pharmacies and department-store cosmetics counters peddle all sorts of body moisturizers, face creams, and serums that promise to whiten users’ skin, playing off a traditional belief that a light complexion denotes status and wealth because people with fairer skin can afford to stay inside instead of toiling for hours under the sun.
Abandoning the whiter-is-better marketing pitch hasn’t been as straightforward in Asia, largely because the products are so popular there. Skin whiteners accounted for about 80% of India’s $1 billion market for moisturizers in 2019, reports Euromonitor International. The global market for skin lighteners was worth $8.6 billion last year, according to Global Industry Analysts Inc.’s StrategyR, a research company in San Jose, which forecasts demand reaching $12.3 billion by 2027.
“Individuals who have fairer skin are more acceptable when it comes to career or marriage,” says Sujata Chandrappa, an aesthetic-medicine specialist and founder of R3 Clinic, a skin and hair treatment center in Bengaluru. “Desire to have fairer skin is deep-seated.”
Some companies have tried to finesse the issue by getting rid of the offending brands while keeping the products. Unilever Plc last year dropped the Fair & Lovely name in India and replaced it with the more neutral-sounding Glow & Lovely. Neutrogena, the skin-care brand owned by Johnson & Johnson, dumped its Fine Fairness line and replaced it with Bright Boost. And last year, L’Oréal said it would remove words such as “whitening” and “lightening” from its skin products.
Yet many brands continue to market their products as skin whiteners. L’Oréal’s Chinese-language website in Hong Kong assures consumers its products will give them skin that’s “white and flawless,” and the company’s English-language site in Singapore has a special section for skin-care whitening “to give you the fair, flawless complexion you desire.” Hamburg-based Beiersdorf AG still sells Nivea whitening body lotions in India.
L’Oréal is introducing the word “brightening” to describe its products, the company said in a statement. Beiersdorf has “started to cease products and communications which do not embrace the complexions of our diverse consumer base,” says a spokesperson. In a statement, Johnson & Johnson said conversations last year showed that some of its product names or claims “represented fairness or white as better than your own unique skin tone. That was never our intention—healthy skin is beautiful skin.” The company says it replaced its two fairness product lines with Bright Boost, which uses ingredients “to boost the skin’s natural renewal process for brighter, more-even skin tone.”
Despite promises of change, critics say, the continued marketing of such products shows multinationals are expecting to still profit by equating beauty with whiteness. Unilever’s rebranding of its skin cream is “just a big farce,” says Kavitha Emmanuel, founder of Dark Is Beautiful, an Indian advocacy group against colorism.
Hindustan Unilever Ltd., the Indian unit, didn’t respond to requests for comment. But Unilever signaled it’s made a pivot, announcing in March that it would refrain from digitally altering anyone’s skin color in its advertising. “We are committed to tackling harmful norms and stereotypes and shaping a broader, far more inclusive definition of beauty,” Sunny Jain, president of beauty and personal care for Unilever, said in a statement.
The company used to heavily market its fairness cream in India with promises of improving women’s job and marriage prospects. A recent Olympics-themed campaign featured women doing parkour stunts and lifting weights. Another recent spot showed a dark-skinned rapper asking not to be judged for her complexion. And Glow & Lovely packages don’t include the before-and-after comparisons of skin tones used on Fair & Lovely boxes.
Customers in India have stuck with Unilever’s renamed brand. Sales of Glow & Lovely and its other beauty and personal-care brands grew 13% in the second quarter from a year earlier.
Over time, brands will need to adjust as consumers rethink their beauty standards, says Pavida Pananond, a professor of international business at Thammasat University in Bangkok. Especially during a pandemic—when so much of life has gone online and indoors—Gen Zers are less concerned about proving their ability to stay out of the sun. “Being tanned now reflects an outdoor, healthy lifestyle,” she says, “which is a more modern concept and outlook toward beauty.” —With Olivia Tam
BOTTOM LINE - Cosmetics makers have been slow to change the way they market skin whiteners—an $8.6 billion global market last year—because of the products’ enduring popularity in Asia.
Before it's here, it's on the Bloomberg Terminal.
Since Singkieland is a dictatorship. Let's use the dictatorship powers to crush such BS garbage. The shitskins are just basically trying to game the system.

image caption Karishma, Anusha and Sabrina have all used skin-whitening products
"I used to be in the shower and scrub my skin to try and get rid of how dark I was."
Karishma Leckraz started using skin-whitening products aged 13 after being told she'd "be prettier" if she had lighter skin.
"I was told that I have 'such pretty features' - but it's a shame I'm 'so dark'," the 27-year-old tells Radio 1 Newsbeat.
She was introduced to skin-lightening products by her parents - they wanted her to be lighter-skinned.
"It's so deeply rooted in our culture that if you're lighter," Karishma says, "you're so much prettier."
It's South Asian "culture" Karishma refers to - where fairer skin can be regarded as superior.
But in recent weeks, in response to the conversations taking place since George Floyd's death, Unilver has said it will drop the word "fair" from its skin-lightening cream in India - changing the brand to Glow and Lovely.
And a skin tone filter has been removed from Asian marriage website Shaadi.com.
image caption Karishma, a freelance make-up artist who uses her personal experience to promote positive messages around skin, says the products she used when she was younger worsened her eczema
"As a young girl, it was 'Don't be in the sun for too long.' They would tell us I would get tanned."
They'd say it in Punjabi, which because of how blunt the language can be made it "more hurtful", the 23-year-old adds.
It was aged 10 that Sabrina was first introduced to fairness cream - which she used for eight years.
image caption Sabrina studies law at the University of Leicester and says she "became more confident over time with my skin and features".
And it's not just comments by family members that can cause people to desire lighter skin.
For Anusha, who didn't want to give her full name, it was her teenage years at school that led to "really negative" thoughts about her skin tone.
"I found myself making unhealthy comparisons about the way I look with people who have lighter skin."
"The most popular girls would get different treatment for no reason other than the fact they are five shades lighter."
Karishma even stopped taking photos with her friends as a teenager.
"I didn't want it to come out in the photo that I was darker," she says.
Colonialism has had an impact, with lots of the invasions "done by people who were usually lighter skin, like the British", says Dr Ritumbra Manuvie, who teaches human rights law and has researched discrimination in South Asia.
"That ingrained a thought that if you're lighter, you're somehow superior."
The caste system - a complex social hierarchy system - has furthered the idea of lighter being better in society.
"Those in the higher caste or top of the power structure would often be lighter in colour. With marriages, the average requirement is the bride should be fair."
Dr Manuvie adds skin-lightening products and their promotion in popular culture "institutionalised the concept of being fair" in modern times.
"If you look at people in institutions in the earlier days, such as those leading freedom struggles, colour was never really an issue," she says.
"I've looked up to celebrities and followed their trends, whatever they've endorsed."
Bollywood stars have been criticised for advertising products which promote a fairer skin ideal.
"It just makes you feel like you have a darker complexion and using a product will make a difference because celebrities are telling you it will."
Some adverts included men being attracted to women who became lighter-skinned after using a fairness product - after initially being overlooked with darker skin.
image caption "I wanted to go into modelling. I always thought darker skin colour meant I wouldn't get work."
And it's not limited to adverts.
"I've noticed in films, fairer skin is seen as the ideal and more beautiful. I just wanted to look more like the people that I saw on television," Sabrina adds.
It's not the same story for Anusha.
Family and societal pressure around colourism first caused her to use skin-lightening products, but now it's something else.
"Not every person who buys a whitening product wants to permanently whiten their skin. For me, it gives my skin a more refreshed look if it looks really dull."
Anusha currently uses masks which lighten her skin because "it makes for a clearer canvas to put make-up on or even out skin tone".
image caption Anusha has noticed brands which claim to offer radiance and glow actually have a lightening effect on skin
But she admits that had she not been exposed to whitening products at a young age, she wouldn't be using them now.
"I think using anything that is a whitening product when you're older can be put to family or society pressure for sure."
Anusha says she's "constantly reflecting" about what she buys and if it's right for her skin.
"I've even spoken to family members about it properly now," she says.
While the changing of names of skincare products - like Unilever and L'Oreal have done - may seem like a step forward, it doesn't go far enough for Sabrina.
"I personally believe changing the name of the product doesn't eliminate the product, because we know that it's there. There's still a long way to go," she says.
Karishma adds: "If I could go back, I'd tell my younger self to stop straightaway and not even think about using creams like that.
"I'd tell her to see the beauty in her melanin - and the pigmentation of my skin does not determine how beautiful the person is going to be."

Colourism in South Asian communities
Colourism is a prejudice or discrimination against individuals with a dark skin tone, typically among people of the same ethnic group.Colonialism has had an impact, with lots of the invasions "done by people who were usually lighter skin, like the British", says Dr Ritumbra Manuvie, who teaches human rights law and has researched discrimination in South Asia.
"That ingrained a thought that if you're lighter, you're somehow superior."

"If you look at people in institutions in the earlier days, such as those leading freedom struggles, colour was never really an issue," she says.
'I followed what the celebrities did'
Sabrina points to Bollywood - the Hindi film industry in India - as a major influence on her decision to use skin-whitening products."I've looked up to celebrities and followed their trends, whatever they've endorsed."
Bollywood stars have been criticised for advertising products which promote a fairer skin ideal.
"It just makes you feel like you have a darker complexion and using a product will make a difference because celebrities are telling you it will."
Some adverts included men being attracted to women who became lighter-skinned after using a fairness product - after initially being overlooked with darker skin.
And it's not limited to adverts.
"I've noticed in films, fairer skin is seen as the ideal and more beautiful. I just wanted to look more like the people that I saw on television," Sabrina adds.
'I still use whitening products'
Karishma and Sabrina no longer use skin-lightening products - because of the impact it was having on their skin but also due to increased confidence about their skin tone.It's not the same story for Anusha.
Family and societal pressure around colourism first caused her to use skin-lightening products, but now it's something else.
"Not every person who buys a whitening product wants to permanently whiten their skin. For me, it gives my skin a more refreshed look if it looks really dull."

Anusha says she's "constantly reflecting" about what she buys and if it's right for her skin.
