No, no! That way madness lies!
You like madness? Okay. If you really want to explore the rabbit hole, here are some names:
Pescado/PMBD, TSR (not the Gary Gygax one), Coconut, Atwa.

I think most of Coconut's blog is lost, but there wasn't enough popcorn for all the shenanigans on there.
Some of it is on wayback:

I was thinking the same, but...
It's well know.
Sims2 in the late 2000s. Absolute drama fest, the popcorn didn't stop flowing.
Little Oxford Dictionary, 1986 edition. Ma girl is good.
I saw comments unironically saying last year was a true "world" series because the Blue Jays were in it.
Oh I've seen a few in the comments here on Lemmy.
The cat on the left in the second panel looks mediaeval.
In my experience, a pale skinned Indian from the same state would be their first choice for their child's spouse, rich definitely an advantage.
White European would definitely be second choice.
I nearly married an Irish man and my parents had no issue with his ethnicity. My family has a weird relationship with white people. They simultaneously revere them and look down on them.
Years later in my thirties, I asked my mum what she'd do if I wanted to marry a 50 year old black guy. She told me to stop chatting rubbish.
Unbeknown to us, at the time I asked this, my cousin who is my age (same cousin who is mistaken for white), had secretly married a 53 year old black guy.
I'm happy to say that no one in the family treats her kids as lesser for being half black.
Right? My cousin is as Indian as I am (her parents are my parents' siblings), but she frequently has to convince people she's Indian British and not white British. Whereas I'm very obviously south Asian.
Colourism is different from caste. We're not Hindu, so we don't have castes, but I was told as a child how it was a shame that I and my oldest sister got darker skin, not nice light skin like our other two sisters. Boomer generation in my family still says things like, "Look at white things when pregnant so you have a white baby."
They love the idea of one of their kids marrying a white person, but hate the idea of them marrying a black person.
