This looking for "fair-skinned" thing usually happens when prospective grooms, rather their families, are hunting for brides (Arranged marriages in India are very very common, I wish to hear Americans comment on that ). But it doesnt happen the other way around ! So only fair -skinned girls are considered to be good -looking. It is no issue with males there.
I dont think Indians have any issues as such with black people in the US or anywhere else. This black and white skinned thing in the minds of Indians runs only to the extent of beauty and looks, not anywhere beyond that.

That's interesting...the vast majority of Indian women I have find to be beautiful are of dark chocolate skin color...like sweet Hershey kisses.

I find them similar to my own ethnic group (Koreans). Family-oriented, relatively quiet, with a great emphasis on education and hard work. That's basically my impression of Indians.
