I think you need to take a long hard look at the clothes in that photo of the retarded Americans, and then reassess your claim that “nothing says they didn’t wash”. And how does that post have anything to do with “Indian ethnicity”? Do you suppose the poster could have been noting a connection between poor hygiene and not being right in the head, with ethnicity being completely irrelevant? The poster didn’t say “f***ing Americans stink too” — YOU did.
The only implicitly racist post I see on this thread is from chuck_the_tv_out at #8.
Not just that, regarding that photograph of the two brothers, firstly, chuck_the_tv_out assumed they were of Americans. They’re not; they are South Africans.

Secondly, he assumed they were retarded; most likely, by appearance, and that reinforces his evident racial biases.
SOPHISTRY. Any honest person can see that by posting that picture he took offense at it being about Indians & wanted to put that same focus on Americans.
A dirty shirt says “poor”. It doesn’t say “doesn’t bathe”.
The issue here is CULTURE. Those boys had no choice but to be born retarded. The Indian in the story doesn’t bathe out of cultural choice.
I have only 2 points here, and I made them in post #37.
(1) every culture does not have the same standards we do.
(2) the vast majority of immigrants are 100% loyal to their home country.
How on earth did you infer they were (a) Americans and (b) retarded?
Photographer Roger Ballen took this photo of Dresie and Casie, twin brothers from West Transvaal, as featured in his book: Platteland: Images from Rural S. Africa.

“he assumed they were retarded; most likely, by appearance”
They were.
HAHAHA!
Now I’d have to ask how you inferred that they were white, and not mixed-race.
You, Sir, have issues.
YOU posted them, because you wanted to post a couple of weird-looking WHITE PEOPLE.
LOL, you seem to have a genetic database of the two brothers, to declare that they were white.
You are a piece of work.
You’re arguments are becoming increasingly liberal. Ask a thousand people if those people are white, you’d get a thousand “yes”’s.
And that is why you posted them. You wanted to post a couple of dirty-looking, funny-looking WHITE PEOPLE.
How do you figure that? If not bathing was the norm in his culture, then his refusal to bathe would not have had a negative impact on his "professional life", nor would his family have been outraged by his refusal to take a ritual dip in the river Ganges after his brother's death. The article also notes that he smokes marijuana every evening as part of his "fire bath". The overall story describes a man whose mental illness and substance abuse are destroying his life, because they are causing him to behave in ways that are NOT acceptable in his culture.
And judging by your bizarre posts on this thread, I think you've got some mental problems too.
LOL, is liberally pasting ‘you are a liberal’ on arguments you have lost in a poor fashion, your escape mechanism? Even the NAZIS started off by labeling the Jews.
PS: How do you say that they are ‘white’?
You should take a look at his “theory” on the speed of light, on his home-page. Just for laughs.
Oh yes. When rational argument fails, resort to personal attacks.
I have made my points.
HAHAHAHAHA!
This reminds me of Hitler's little puppy: 'One Hundred Authors Against Einstein* '
LOL!
*- To which Einstein replied that were any of his theories to be proven wrong, he'd have needed only one person to point it out for him, and not a hundred.
You’re looking rather foolish here, n00b. We’ve all seen that photo many, many times on FR. It means nothing more than just representing two odd looking fellows posted on a thread about an odd fellow. You need to take a break or something.
Again, no argument, just another hitler reference.
Exactly what I was saying about increasingly liberal argument. What’s next? “500 million lost jobs each month”?
