Walking the talk on skin colour

While we often talk about the equality of skin colours and every race deserving equal rights, it all goes in vain if we fail to act accordingly in our life. The white colour, in our society, represents superiority while being dark is synonymous with being ugly, a notion exaggerated by the beauty advertisements.

In truth, a person should never be judged by their skin tone. As human beings, we have come a long way but we have yet to get rid of certain prejudices that are entrenched in our minds. It is high time we filtered our thoughts and learned to respect all people, irrespective of the colour of their skin. We need to be more inclusive and open-minded as a society.`
