Colour of skin comes in to play - dark cheerleaders told to leave

“We found out later that the main reason was we were a mixed group and they did not want coloured people,” the 23-year-old Londoner said.
Indian 'authorities' saying no to color. The irony of it is so thick! I hope someone sues the heck outta these people who refused to allow them, but then again does suing work in India!? Well, what do u expect in a place with lowlife ad's like the "Fair & Lovely" ads

OK, PC aside, you got to look at it as a pure business decision. The cheerleaders are just eye-candy and nothing else. Beauty is skin deep and that is all they are getting paid for. Why should we question then the perception of beauty, however skewed, of a nation brought up on the notion that fairer skin is more attractive? Would you have 300-pound fat cheerleaders?

Would you cast a black man as an ancient asian kung-fu specialist? He simply doesn't fit.
How about a panda? as in Kungfu Panda:tounge_smile: mv5bmjaxodg1mzg0m15bml5dv9.jpg As for the topic, The MI and CSK have desi cheerleaders. Bangalore have mixed cheerleaders as well.

nothing abt PC, flamy. Its abt hurting ppl with darker skin color which is no fault of theirs. Its discrimination based on color which is illegal, so its against the law.
OK, sure it is not their fault. But, what if ppl just dont find them attractive? What about their choice? Of course, as mentioned in the OP, it should have been specified, they wanted only white girls.

What are the cheerleaders being paid for? The audience is there to catch a nip-slip, or an upskirt, or anything that furthers their imagination. If a black girl does not fit into the audience's choice, then she is simply not qualified for the job.

Indians have been known to prefer fairer skin over darker skin. And that is right, Indians discriminate against darker Indians. Stupid, but true. So, the audience being 'colored' makes no difference. When you are going to be thinking of entertainment for a crowd, you tend to go with the general preference, rather than take into equation the different preferences of different people. I believe the company made a dumb mistake by not explicitly stating they want only Caucasians. Even dumber was to ban these two girls just before the match. They could've let them dance for that match and later fired them. However, it is not 'racist'.
