Why guys are so interested in fair girls?

I know a guy, whom i liked a lot because he was nice and good but then one day he told me the kind of girl he wanted...he literally said "white". I was taken aback by his statement! He is US, an indian guy....he too is fair. I just wanted to hit him hard on his face. He wants only an "indian girl" and wont get involved with a girl from US but that indian girl should be "WHITE"! I am olive skinned with dark eyes and dark hair. I dunno if i am pretty or not but he did once like me as he once said but then everything ended and then we were once talking normally when he just said this. Its not just him but even other guys i know, though they like me but none would like a dark woman! CMON! "WHITE".....Y DO U GUYS RUN AFTER FAIR SKINNED GIRLS! He said he likes my classmate, she's fair. He only saw her pic n told me i juz wanna give it a try, if it dsn work... no prbs! WTH! That racist! COMMON GUYS! temme the truth, u dont care if a girl is nice or beautiful, all u care about is if she's milky white with pink cheeks or not haan???? I am now all single, foreva because i dont think all guys are same! RACISTS!
