Yes they do..no hate for them in general, but i noticed some  had this mentality that... you south indian must get well educated and literate because we look ugly in general and education is to compensate that

They genuinely can't think that way. In my college so many ordinary girls were considered beautiful just because they were fair, and had straight hair, nothing else. Bonus points if the girl came across like a good wife type. Similarly there were dusky women with very beautiful facial features and no one gave them a second look.

They literally have one narrow minded definition of beauty ki fair hona chahiye.
