I've been repeatedly castigated as a knuckledragger for pointing out the observable fact that the matrimonial classifieds in Toronto's South Asian papers describe desired complexion shades (the whiter, the better) in a manner that would make a Boer, well, blush.

But when the Globe & Mail talks about this phenomenon, that's totally different.

And unlike me, somebody gets paid.

Thanks to the loyal FFF reader who sent me that link.
