There's a human preference for light skin. It shows up almost everywhere and predates colonialism. Indians and blacks are the darkest groups Americans are exposed to or interact with in any significant degree.
But blacks, in addition to the historical guilt, have traits many Americans like. They're good at sports, good with women, and charming enough to be actors and entertainers.
US-India relationship is being harmed because Pakistan is more willing to kiss up to Trump, and Modi has too much pride to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize when he didn’t do anything.
Mr. Trump contends that he used trade as leverage to get the two sides to stop fighting. After these enticements and warnings, he said, “all of a sudden they said, ‘I think we will stop’” the fighting.
