My friend had two nieces. They are dark skinned.
They grew up in Delhi. Their mother used to take them to the park. Some fair
girls used to call these little girls ‘Kalu, Kalu’ meaning blacks. The children
would get very upset.
They told this to a kind old lady .She said,
“Oho, you are not kalu, you are chocolates.” That changed the whole attitude of
the children. They grew up as well balanced excellent children. God has created
us the way we are, with a purpose. Don’t worry about it. Learn to love
yourself. If you think you are black, you grow up as a black. If you think you
are a chocolate you grow up a chocolate. It is all in the attitude.
