Promoting racism by stealth by implying that it's better to look white than asian?

It's not the first time either. I remember one make-up ad with Beyonce Knowles and I swear to god if you'd never seen her before you'd think she was white the way they filmed her.

If so I think it's a shame. I agree, that -is- stealth racism.
Rai has the most incredible eyes! She should promote eye makeup! They'd make a billion dollars!

Bob J, you're mistaken! This has more to do with a misguided sense of beauty than with race...!
Some people love the idea of being fair for the simple reason that most cosmetics cater to a lighter skin tone than to a dusky one!
Am certain Ms.Rai is proud of being Indian & is just catering to those young girls who want to get with the latest make-up fads. Its a fashion thing...like streaking or high-lighting one's hair...NOT anything racist .
Edit: Its like saying those to perm their hair to get their curly locks would rather be black than white...!
C'mon, its got nothing to do with race!

The truth is that none of these creams work.
