       "I think the lack of Aryan phenotypes has made Indian casting
       directors desperate"
       They make it more difficult for themselves by excluding
       darker-skinned Indians.
       "Indian audiences are also desperate to counter the "Indians are
       ugly stereotype"."
       But for some reason they rarely utilize the counterexamples that
       I recommend.....

       "They make it more difficult for themselves by excluding

       Very dark skin = AASI phenotype for the most part. But
       Eurocentrists would consider even someone like his girl:

       "Dark skinned" despite it being closer to the average skin
       colour in India.

       History of Nusantara's Whiteness Exposed

       > In Indonesia, light skin has been the dream color as far back
       as the earliest documents that can be found. In some of
       Indonesia's oldest surviving literature, such as the epic poem
       Ramayana, which was adapted in the late 9th century from its
       original Indian source, light-skinned women were the dominant
       beauty norm of the time. In both the Indian and Indonesian
       versions of the Ramayana, beautiful women are depicted as having
       white faces shining like the full moon. A thousand years later,
       at the beginning of the 20th century when Dutch colonialism had
       long been established in Indonesia, the image of a beautiful
       white Caucasian was used to exemplify the image of beauty in
       advertisements published in women's magazines. When Japan came
       to power as the new colonial power in Indonesia from 1942 to
       1945, they propagated new Asian beauty ideals, but white
       remained the preferred skin color. In postcolonial Indonesia,
       especially when the pro-American president, Suharto, was in
       power since the late 1960s, American pop culture became one of
       the strongest influences through which Indonesia's ideal of
       white beauty was articulated and negotiated. This transnational
       circulation of beauty ideals across different historical periods
       has undoubtedly helped perpetuate preferences for light skin
       that define not only beauty but also discourses on skin color,
       gender and race in Indonesia. The popularity of skin whitening
       products - which rank at the top of all profit-making products
       in the Indonesian cosmetics industry - is further evidence of
       the preference for light skin.

       Indonesia's Nationalism resulting massive Eurocentrism
       --- Quote ---
       > ...skin whitening advertising models in post-reformation or
       21st century Indonesia are women with a variety of national and
       racial backgrounds.) There are several reasons why Indo women
       became the perfect incarnation of Indonesian white beauty during
       this period. First, as stated by political expert William R.
       Liddle (1996), Indonesian national culture is a culture that
       upholds both indigenous culture and modern Western culture.
       Thus, it is Indo women - both indigenous and Western - who
       become the perfect embodiment of beauty. Second, as emphasized
       by Prabasmoro, who examines how Indo women and their bodies
       become representations of ideal beauty, Indo women can only be
       white in non-white cultures.
       >
       > ...
       >
       > ...narrative of nationalism, a dominant ideal of beauty
       working to serve the interests of its ruling elite. Southeast
       Asian Studies scholar Ingrid Wessel points out that nationalism
       works to "stabilize and justify ruling elites" (1994, 39). The
       ruling elite has an interest in maintaining the erasure and
       controlling the representation of women (and men) from eastern
       Indonesia and/or African descent in Indonesia. This is what Ani
       Sekarningsih (2000) seems to want to highlight in her novel
       Namaku Tereweraut: how the Javanese elite benefited financially
       by representing eastern Indonesia (in her novel: the Asmat
       people) as a "primitive" tribe. Here, the postcolonial nation's
       dialogue with "its colonial past culminates... in the
       reproduction of a form of colonialism itself" (Kusno 2000,
       212).This means, as Abidin Kusno argues, this new nation, in
       re-imagining its postcolonial identity, seems turned into the
       invader himself, although in a different version. The narrative
       of nationalism functions as an apparatus for this new master to
       "colonize" his own postcolonial nation. Thus the exclusion of
       dark-skinned eastern Indonesian women reveals the limits of the
       "national imagination" in imagining a distinctive kind of
       whiteness as an ideal representation of Indonesia. This specific
       Indonesian image of white beauty, as I will discuss in Chapter
       5, also hides and marginalizes Chinese-Indonesian women whose
       skin color may be lighter than other women in Indonesia but who
       are also excluded from similar images.

       Social Westernization in Indonesia
       --- Quote ---
       > Based on my interviews, dark-skinned people in Indonesia today
       are perceived as "scary", "criminal", "smelly", "dirty", and
       "strange". When asked about their perceptions of dark-skinned
       Indonesians and Africans in Indonesia, almost all of the women
       interviewed said how dark-skinned people were considered
       undesirable. The following is an example of how one of the
       interviewees, Ines, a 31 year old feminist researcher in
       Jakarta, perceives how Africans who travel to Indonesia (also
       dark-skinned people from Eastern Indonesia) are treated:
       >
       > Africans are often caught at the airport carrying drugs even
       though some come here to do business, selling cloth or plastic
       goods. Many of them live in Tanah Abang, which is known as a
       scary neighborhood... Taxi drivers sometimes won't stop to pick
       up African passengers. People don't want to walk near them...
       Even when I went several times to cultural events where
       diplomats called "Your Excellency" were invited, people still
       commented [about the diplomats' dark skin]. . Indonesian people
       with dark skin are also treated like that... When a Papuan won
       the Physics Olympiad, people commented, "Oh, someone from Papua
       is smart..." Do they think Papuans are "forest" people? ...
       These stereotypes still exist.
