Asian dating site Shaadi.com has removed a skin tone descriptor after growing online backlash. The option asks those who use the site to describe their skin tone colour, as well as asking users to input the preferred skin colour of their prospective partner.
As ongoing anti-racism protests spread worlwide, more and more South Asians are rejecting the colourism that exists within their own communities.

SONS OF YUSUF- How to Shaykh the World (25.06.2020)
Brothers Ya’koob and Abdulrahman Al Refaie declare themselves proudly as the Kuwaiti hip hop group Sons of Yusuf. They are both shaking and Shayking the World with their recently released first album, effortlessly blend American hiphop and Arab music singing in both Arabic and English, sampling khaleeji drums as well as lines from iconic Kuwaiti plays like Bye Bye London, and referencing Muslim and Arab cultural and historical figures. They go from stories of their grandfather the pearl diver to tales of modern microaggressions and full blown racism in the aftermath of the gulf war in the US. The result is music that speaks to a truly global audience, particularly those who have grown up between cultures and didn’t have music that spoke to every facet of their identity. Sally speaks to Abdulrahman about their new album, making their mark and changing the world through music.
Track Listing:
- HALA هلا (We Dem Boyz Arabia Remix)
- A Night in Córdoba (feat. CyHi The Prynce)
- Mashallah (Quarantine Video) ft. Muhsinah and Terrace Martin
- Diving for Pearls ft Jay Electronica
- Different
- One Time (أيام الطيبين)
- People of The Book ft. Isam B
- The Balance (feat. Shafiq Husayn)
- No Caliphates (feat. Talib Kweli)
