Unfair To Be Not So Fair?

Today while I was coming back, I heard this from someone: "Ore Gaayer Rongta Ektu Moila". This in English means that person X is not fair complexioned. I have heard this umpteen times while growing up. And then it struck me, the literal English translation of the word 'Moila' in English is 'Dirty'.  And mind you, this is a very polite way of putting things across.


So do we preach that the not so fair complexioned ones are "Dirty"????? I dont know, you decide...
