Typical punjabis racism against us southies their brothelwood makes films like podosan, chennai express and param sundari to. Mock us

South producers and directors have traditionally believed that audiences want to see an idealized,exotic version of beauty on screen rather than everyday reality.This is why many actresses are cast from Northern India or Mumbai,why would fans want it when they complain about it

This should be stopped there as well

Yes thats wrong as well but another reason is since 1990s south indians became more Orthodox about sending girls to film industry because of casting couch. Till 90s majority of actress were native. Now with parents becoming more liberal more of our girls are getting back into industry

There is no controversy.

So many articles in news sites and posts on ICF , you say no controversy... Arshdeep cannot say anything he wants in this era

Dude Sikhs have been mocked as a joke character in all Bollywood until recently.

Arshdeep will be well served taking some lessons from Bumrah in this. 

 

Look at how Bumrah behaves compares to how Arshdeep behaves. Both Punjabis , also education from parents played a part too. Bumrah's mother is a single parent and school teacher/principal. 

 

 

Arshdeep shares dressing room with Chahal. Asar toh hoga

Wasnt even the first time

A lot of public controversies happen because people see a short clip without background, translations lose nuance, and social media immediately assumes intent.

If “Andhera” actually turns out to be a long-standing nickname that Tilak Varma himself is fine with, then the accusations of racism become much weaker. Sports teams and friend groups often have genuinely bizarre nicknames.

 

Very recently, Harbhajan Singh got dragged for saying Jofra Archer’s “meter is running faster than a London black taxi” while talking about him leaking runs. People instantly interpreted it as a racial remark because Archer is Black, even though “London black taxi” is literally a common phrase.

 

Also, Arshdeep isn’t some senior figure over Tilak who can bully him through age or hierarchy. They’re basically peers. Maybe wait for actual context before declaring someone racist with certainty.

 

Arshdeep is senior to Tilak.

We live in a society where our Pradhaan sevak changes his skin shade when he visits places like Tamil Nadu, wears a turban and changes his skin tone to bright sunshine when he’s in Punjab, what do you expect from Gen Z dimwits like Arshdeep? Bacche Bado se hi seekhte hai. Our society believes it’s a stigma to be born with dark skin tone and promotes sh&t creams like fair & lovely.

People don't say these things publicly or take the mic and deride someone for his/her skin colour. Be it Bollywood or South industries. 

 

What happened here is a completely different matter. 

 

 

Except maybe here at 3:40

Shankar (director) is notorious for colorism. He did the same in Sivaji, gets bashed a lot. Lost relevance today due to **** like this. 

[Tillu]

I still cringe at this line from the song Kolaveri Di.

 

"White Skin girl girl, Girl heartu blacku".

 

Even the English language made the words black and dark to imply something undesirable and bad. On the contrary fair and white implies good.

[bsriharsha]

Never liked the song. 

 

Dhanush should have done much better 

[Gollum]

Has Arshdeep tendered any apology or regret? Even a symbolic one, naam ke vaaste? That is the best way to deal with these situations.

Haan, isko leke ek thread bhi hai yahaan pe. This is especially bad, because Bhajji recently said that he felt bad when Sreesanth's daughter asked him in person why he hit her father. If some little child asks such a question, all the more reason to avoid such kind of ads, 1 Cr is nothing for these guys.

Now mocking Priyansh Arya who is conscious of his front teeth gap. What a bully this guy is !!!!!! 27 yo, been in international circuits for almost a decade, and this is his maturity level.

Imagine saying this when Tilak is actually 10x better looking than Arshdeep.
