Whoa! Whoa! What’s with the name calling on TwoCopperCoins??
He did not insult America anywhere.
His point (I hope I get it right) is that people were using this article about this crazy Indian dude (even his own family calls him crazy) to bash Indians in general.
TwoCopperCoins seems to be a proud American (nationality and citizen) and also someone who has a proud ethnic heritage (I assume somewhere in India).
What is so incompatible with that?? Who is being racist now?? In Texas we have Scottish Highland Games and the Czech Festival and they are celebrated with PRIDE.
You can be a TRUE American loyal to the core and still have pride in your ethnic heritage.
All TwoCopperCoins is saying is that some of the posters to this article have taken the liberty to bash Indians in general
We are all Americans here: Scottish, English, Czech, Indian, Panjabi, Spanish, Lebanese etc.. may be our ethnicities but our country is the good ole USA
So, pardon TwoCopperCoins for defending his heritage. I thought Free Republic EXPLICITLY banned racist posts and this thread has atleast 5 such posts.
I have great Indian friends (along with people of other nationalities) and I too stand up against any kind of name calling.
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.
Actually, there’s nothing in the photo or the post to indicate the picture is of Americans.
I know it is because I’ve seen the photo before. But nobody said the picture was of Americans.
