Anchal, who is of Indian descent, talks about struggling with her insecurities on "America's Next Top Model."
Something i've noticed all around me. skin prejudice not just from whites but among blacks themselves.i'm a little light and so are most of my sisters but my little sister is dark and i worry about her alot. she has such a sweet personality that i hope this outshines everything else. i have always been aware of skin colour issues. Im in the caribbean and in my university class there are 12 of us, most of us a little light but one half white girl and this is ridiculous. Every time a new teacher comes in at the start of the semester, after marking the register they always ask her if she would like to be class rep or they say they say they just "randomly" chose her name from the list.she always declines cause her plate is always full. when she is ill or something they always ask me to take over and i wonder if its because i'm the second lightest in the class. this whole colour scale thing is ridiculous and it can make people feel left out and inferior at times.
Ok this isnt adressed to any one in specific But i think tyra should have a show on teeen agers and skin color but my view on this used to be negative because when i was younger i was always made fun of b/c of my skin color and im not even that dark like my brother would let his friends make fun of me and when i told them i was black and puerto rican they were like ya right ,it hurt b/c they would say then why r u so dark and your brother is light and thats ignorant b/c ppl think just b/c ur mixd u have 2 b light and have long flowing hair and for a little while i would always say i wish i was lighter .But now i realize that I AM BEAUTIFUL and dark or light long hair or short we are all gorgeous.I have a mixture of friends and i have never felt a reason not to be friends with lighter people i do c the "diff treatment" but its what ever it sad b/c i dnt have ne preference and when ppl do they can be missing out on that person god made for them.Ppl say light skinned is better but it all b/c we put them on a pedistoul. I dnt care i feel that all ppl are beatiful. and i have my self been thru it and i have know alot of guys who wudnt talk to me b/c im darker but thats there loss and idc .I just wanted to say i now what it is like to be pickd on and lookd at less but hey all i know is that no matter what I LOVE ME and thats all that matters not if society loves
I'm 14 years old and I'm a Dark-Skinned African American. My mother is liteskin as well as two of my sisters and my father and other sister are brown skinned! When I was a little bit younger my liteskinned sister and brown skinned sisters call me name and teased ( I DON'T THINK THEY MEANT IT TO GO THAT FAR BCUZ THEY TELL ME I'M PRETTY THEIR ""BLACKBARBIE"") me to a point that I felt my skin was a flaw I hated it and I at one point of time wished I was Liteskinned. Fast forward to now, that I'm 14, I still have some insurcurties, like my skin I still to this day get teased about it but the comments no longer hurt me nor bring me down!! I feel as though at times when I see a guy he likes girls that are a fair complexion lke carmel or whatever. But It dosn't bother me I just be like well thats what he likes and there is still more boys out there several boys I know now that are lite like me! I think I'm just like every other girl who has insurcureities--times I feel my best beautifuliest (if thats a word) and times I feel my prettyiest! I know I'm beautiful and even a lot of people tell me that....I just am like I go on how I feel about myself "because just as people can blow your head up they can inflate it" I know I beautiful I fel I'm confident I rate myself a perfect 9 out of 10 but I'm not CONCIETED but i'm COOL WITH THAT!!! But rEALLY i think that some liteskinned girls that are just feeling themselves too much "CONCIETED ONES" i think that they are very very insurcure and try

Hi I am 16 years old.I'm not dark but i am brown skin. Some people may consider me dark but its okay. I learn to love my skin and be comfortable with myself. Yes some people joke about the color of my skin and it really hurt even thougth they were jokin it still hurt. My message to everyone across the world is to learn to love yourself ,everything about you makes you unique and different. Yes some people might say dark skin isn't beautiful thats they're opinion. They can't judge you only GOD can judge you. So learn how to love yourself ,its a new year start fresh. Just live life and have fun God bless.

Hi, Tyra This complexion thing is really getting out of hand.. Its all over the TV its really sad when a beautiful black women can't look in the mirror and say I'm beautiful.. WOW God doesn't see color all he see's is Love.. We have to wake up people and start breaking these stereo types I'm a God fearing, beautiful black women and there's no one who should be different..Love you All even if you all even if you dont like my Dark skin
Tyra, White people really have nothing to do wth this issue, though this is mostly their fault for turning the black slaves against each other. This has unfortunately been carried on generation after generation. I have been bullied, picked on, criticized, and ostricized by my peers for my skin tone. And the sad part about it is that these kids were black, but lighter than me. I felt disgusting, worthless, ugly, and ost of all betrayed. Like how could my own do this to me? It hasn't gotten much better. Now that I'm in high school, I notice that the African-American boys prefer the lighter- skinned black girls or the puerto rican girls. I've gotten used to the idea that I'll be alone forever.
hey Trya! im 16 years old and im dark skin! i feel uncomfortable when im the only dark skin person in the room. it hurts me when i hear people say oh dark skin girls are so ugyly and i often get call that. I may not be model type but as i continue to grow i will blossom into a beautiful women.

Well Im a dark skinned women who became very very fair skinned and Tyra I think I should have been on your show because I was so depressed at being dark. Im happy now though. You guys dont understand its hard being dark skinned and depressing. Its what society tells us all the time. Its the media, music videos and such. Im using this cream called mega blast and it has changed my life. I got it from www.worldofentertainment23.com/skinwhiteningproducts.htm
11/23/08 Dear Tyra, About a month ago you talked about this issue on your show about light skin black’s verses darker skinned blacks. Personally I loved that episode because it really got me “thinking is the world really like that”? I have encountered many situations where a lighter skinned girl was chosen over me. When my friend and I were at the mall shopping a couple of boys came up to us. I automatically assumed that they wanted to talk to her because she was prettier than I was. She had long hair and a lighter skin tone than I had. But being the wonderful best friend she was, she noticed me feeling left out, so she dissed them and we continued with our day. People have this object of lighter toned girls that they think their all that but some of them aren’t. My friend couldn’t help if her mom married a white guy. Yeah they may get favored but they are still black girls no matter what. They will still be looked at funny when they go into an all white restaurant and they’ll most likely mark African American when taking a test. I’m not picking sides because I can’t really, but lighter toned girls have they’re struggles too. But pure blacks suffer more. Joleesa West
