I'm East Indian and in our culture, skinny women are definitely considered to be normal. Even the girls whose bones will be sticking out lol. You're curvy and people will think you're overweight...and like shantroy said, it is true that people praise the pale, white complexions (comparing it to milk and such, so ridiculous lol!). It's all about culture...whatever, people need to just accept each other as they are and know that beauty is more than just how much you weigh or how you look compared to what they think you should look like. Gosh..
