[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm married to an Indian guy and I had no idea height was such a big deal!

I liked the show but wish they had provided more updates on the couples.  Hoping for a season 2 for answers![/quote]

Me too!   I’m 5’2 American with Indian - American husband of 20 years.  I keep telling him I had no idea I would not have made the cut![/quote]

Are you white? Your pale skin made up for your lack of height.

Lol. So true. [/quote]

Nooo...you would need to look white but not be white. They want someone indian.

The colorism in India is sickening. Someone upthread said the rich people are lighter skinned. I don’t know if that’s true, there are lots of business people etc who are not light, but if you look at Bollywood or any TV/ commercials, everyone looks almost white. And a light skinned girl can definitely “marry up” and improve her station in life just based on that. There is a huge skin face lightening industry there as well.  I have never seen a kid in India with a non-white doll. Indian children’s book characters look white. It is very sad. [/quote]

White skin, bleach blonde hair and fake big boobs can marry up in America.

Which is also home to a huge plastic surgery/Botox/fillers industry. Which only the rich people can partake in. 
And where teen girls and adult women are laying out by the pool all day or in their yards to get tan.

I certainly haven’t found many reality tv shows here where these things aren’t obviously a big part of the female characters looks.

And this country doesn’t even have 1000 years legacy of being controlled by invaders that valued those things, they’re just inherently valued in America.
