Why they never use any fair skinned Indian to portray Indians? Why always dark people? Do they want to keep on stereotyping that all Indians are dark? As a very fair skinned Indian, I'm offended.

There's a massive east Indian population where I live and grew up and the vast vast vast vast majority are darker.

Im thinking that's why.

Probably as a reaction due to decades of Indians being represented by nothing more than white dudes adopting shitty accents.

If they use light skinned Indians then the exact same people would bitch that they're afraid of going "too foreign looking".

No one is offended. Everyone is looking for leverage.

That and the darker skinned folks do make up a larger percentage of the populace. Unless for some reason lighter skinned Indians never move here for some reason.

These are some average every-day Indians protesting against police brutality in Shimla.

Even the darker ones certainly have better features than the people I mentioned in my first post, as they have very sharper features and a more rugged look. Just look at the guy on the far-right.
