I try to teach my daughter to be sex positive, bit she still thinks the Four College Girls are total sluts. |
Lol keep dreaming this won’t be your daughter. |
She is talented but I can’t help notice all the hot male leads in her show are mostly white with a couple black, total lack of diversity representation, I mean even little women with setting in 1920 had a Muslim professor and White lotus had a Asian hottie. Does she still hold white men on a pedestal? |
She's also telling her Atheist parents she wants to have a relationship with God. I think she's looking for ways to rebel. |
I do wonder, especially since they are marketed as something you take for a lifetime, like insulin, vs. to lose weight. I don't remember if phen phen or any of the others ever seemed this promising. I have a couple friend that are on them and all have lost a lot of weight quickly but oddly have the same look of deflated necks/faces. It might just be the speed of weight loss but I wondered if maybe it affects your face/neck in odd ways. |
Until you’ve been an Indian American female writing and producing in a predominantly white, male dominated industry, you should reserve judgement. She’s don’t a lot to break down barriers in that world. |
No, phen phen wasn’t as promising. Doctors are really, really excited about the wegovy type drugs because they affect some part of metabolism that previously drugs haven’t been able to do. Or something. I’m not a doctor and don’t really care much about how they function. Does anyone else remember how, around 2002-2004, Hollywood women got ridiculously scarily thin and it was alleged to be some sort of horse tranquilizers of something? |
The Aly McBeal era, right. So very thin. |
NP. What does that have to do with the pp question of whether or not she holds white males on a pedestal ? |
So selecting Asian / Muslim / Indian hot male actors somehow prevent her from breaking the barrier? Cool! |
I am a big fan of Mindy Kaling. Not only she is very talented but she has become successful in Hollywood.
But, since we are talking about how she looks, and the truth is that at one point she was neither fulfilling the beauty standards of Holllywood nor the beauty standards of Bollywood. Though, why should she be expected to meet the beauty standards of any place or culture really blows my mind because she has not made her mark in the world, made her money, gained her fame, opened doors for herself because of her looks. Mindy Kaling can never be the beauty standards of Indian film industry because Indians prefer women with cuter and fairer features like the North Indian Priyanka Chopra or South Indian Aishwarya Rai. When it came to Hollywood, Mindy Kaling's color and features would be more acceptable as the non-White females. Hollywood is more diverse than Bollywood is for the beauty standards of women in terms of color and features. But, even here, the Black beauty standards within Hollywood is more like what is revered in USA. Skinny is beautiful. (https://www.imdb.com/list/ls003837393/) Hollywood does not like normal weight women. Unlike Bollywood where curvier women with boobs and a$$ are considered beautiful, Hollywood still worships the skinny women. Every single "chubby" lady from Adele to Rebel Wilson will have the story of becoming beautiful after losing weight. So Mindy Kaling weight loss has become the big story. She is still not a Bollywood Beauty, but she is certainly a Hollywood story now. Does she look prettier now? I don't know. I think her face is the same. I always thought that her face was a familiar and intelligent face, but I never thought that she was a great beauty. I hope her weight loss was due to health reasons because Indians have the genes for heart diseases, high cholestrol, high BP, stroke and diabetes. If she lost weight by taking diabetes medication - good for her. She is the mom of two kids, she needs to be healthy for them. That is all that matters. In the end, I wish her well and hope she remains healthy and happy. Her slender apperance now will not make an impact in how Indians view her, but it will change how Americans view her. So that is good. |

Funny how you mention only two women of color. Typical DCUM: "they're only successful because they're not white. I am better than them, but I didn't get all the opportunities that POC get because I'm white." |
I said this on page 2, but the racist DCUMommies can't stop. This happens on every thread about Mindy. They just hate that someone who is not white is so much more successful than them. |
I have to admit her face looks much better now. She was looking really bloated and freaky for a little while there, which I definitely thought was migrated or badly placed filler or something. She definitely does have some lip filler but now I’m wondering if she had some health things going on causing a lot of inflammation or water retention that is now being treated, by Ozempic or otherwise. |
