Why does everyone think that anglo indians have to be fair. Selma remarked that a dusky friend of hers called herself Anglo-Indian. I lived four years in Bangalore and knew a lot of Anglos. 90% of them were dark, very few were fair. The Anglos asked me whether I was one, because of my very fair complexion, and when I said 'Goan', then of course, 'But you must have some Portuguese blood'.

Even in Ajmer, Shimla, etc one finds both dark and fair skinned Anglos.

when I visitedAustralia met a few anglos of mixed complexion.

In all communities one finds different colour skins.
