    This is just another good example that shows how ignorant and racist Americans are about the concept of “race.” Indians are mostly Aryans and Dravidians. Aryans invaded India made the Indian caste system to prevent racial mixing with the natives. And those Aryans were ancient white people. That’s why a lot of Indians have Caucasian features. You Americans are just so unbelievably stupid about race. Especially you, scott :) Blame your society for you stupidity. Pity.

    All this talk about her true eye colour and Indians having the inability to have lighter coloured eyes is so ridiculous!
    I can’t count on my fingers how many friends or people I personally know that have grey, green and even blue eyes and are of Indian descent.

      You’re either extremely ignorant or a hater :) Read a book for once. Do you think Europeans are the only people who can have blonde hair and colored eyes? I pity you for your stupidity. Racist.
