Jayalalithaa was a fair south Indian: DMK's dig at Tarun Vijay
Think before you misinterpret my badly framed statement, Tarun Vijay had to say in his defence.
Former BJP MP, Tarun Vijay has been trolled, criticised and mocked for his racism related comments. While trying to defend India against charges of racism he said that if we Indians were racist, why would have the entire South. "Which is you know... completely Tamil, you know Kerala, you know Karnataka and Andhra. Why do we live with them? We have blacks, black people all around us," he also said.
The DMK in Tamil Nadu has however his statement funny. "Funny? Not all people in Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu are black. Our leader Dr Kalignar is far, Jayalalithaa was fair," T K S Elangovan of the DMK said.
Kiran K S, who is very popular on the social media had a series of posts mocking the statement. Jai Shri Krishna, Dark and Beautiful!! I am a dark skinned south Indian. I am proud of my natural skin tone. Period.This is the natural skin tone of humans based on where their ancestors lived for 1000s of years. Majority of Indians are Olive to Dark Brown. Someone should take a class to Tarun Vijay on Skin tone across Indian states.
Olive, Tan, Brown and Dark Brown constitute 90% of India. There might be very dark skin of Congo's skin tone, but that is very rare. Maybe 1% of India, he also posted.
Tarun Vijay however issued a clarification in which he said, "Feel bad, really feel sorry, my apologies to those who feel I said different than what I meant. "I feel the entire statement was this; we have fought racism and we have people with different colour and culture, and still never had any racism."
"I never, never, even in a slip, termed south India as black. I can die but how can I ridicule my own culture, my own people and my own nation? Think before you misinterpret my badly framed sentence," he also said.
