[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved this season.  Even Kamala, who I thought was a walking caricature in the first season, was better.  I was only disappointed with the casting of Mohan's mother.  Mohan and Devi are dark skinned Indians from South Indian--and they cast Mohan's mother as a light skinned Indian with a bob.  [/quote]

I think Kamala’s character doesn’t seem to fit in terms of being South Indian more than Mohan’s mom. [/quote]

Both Kamala and Mohan's mom don't fit very well.  Devi slightly above average looking, and tall pale Kamala looks like she was a contestant for Miss India.  Even Devi's mom is taller and paler than one would expect, but she's a very good actress in this role, so I accept her.  Kamala overacts.

What idiotic generalizations. Not all South Indians are dark and short and not all North Indians are pale. I’m South Indian and everyone in my immediate and extended family is the same color as Kamala or lighter and most of us are tall. Devi is v. pretty as are many dark skinned South Indian women. You sound like a disgusting colorist with your bs passive aggressive remarks.[/quote]

Agree 💯. People heard this or had an Indian friend who told them this and are running with it. They have no idea. [/quote]

Wrong. I am a South Indian and I think the predominance of light skin Indians on the show (Devi and Mohan excepted) is depressing.  But I guess those are the South Asian actors that succeed in India and the USA.[/quote]
