Vanilla or Chocolate

Some articles really makes a lot of sense . This one is one of them . Someone had shared on facebook 

"Is this the girl you are going to marry?"
"Yes dad. Isn't she pretty?"
.
.
"She is dark. I can't even see her face clearly."
"It's a dark photograph dad. Trust me, her face is visible enough."
.
.
"Where is she from?"
"Panjim. Goa."
.
.
"Definitely not Sikh. Hindu?"
"Atheist, but yes, her parents are Hindu."
.
.
"Hmmm... Can't she use fairness creams? You are milky white. You both together will look like a black and white film."
"We will look good together, like a chess-board. Don't worry dad."
.
.
"Will you feel comfortable taking her as your bride back to our hometown? Beautiful Sardarnis back home in Jalandhar, and here you are stuck with this black girl."
"Chill dad. You want some ice-cream?"
.
.
"I shouldn't. Diabetes. But I guess one scoop won't do much harm."
"Vanilla or chocolate? Okay sorry for my stupidity. Vanilla of course?"
.
.
"What? No, I want chocolate."
"But vanilla is what you must have dad. It's white."
.
.
"What difference does the color make?"
"Exactly dad."

Exactly why do we judge so much by the skin of the person . Its high time we make a change in  the way we think and live 


"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." -
