that racism....preferably the white kind is an end all to bad stuff
here’s a little secret for you....racism as you call it has little to do with the hatred of one’s skin color
it has no assumed the mantle of disliking groups based on the culture they bring with them....or how that culture is perceived
and guess what.....EVERYONE DOES IT...even you I’d wager...
sure folks at times resent Indians here.....I’m not crazy about doing business with most of them...except one notable ’ve known but that hardly represents a percursor to another Holocaust
it’s human nature even though idealists and self righteous folks
look at the posts of folks here who always resort to the race card....in the next breath they call everyone like me redneck or something cute.......most are hypocrites
i’ve lived the world over and am honest about it....let Americans in 10-20 years become 1-2% of India and see if all is hunky dory........
and another thing........no I do not consider Indian and US culture equal.....not by a long shot.
and lastly.........when you argue with me, try not to attribute what you think to me having said it.
you young folks treat race like a damn religion, but then you'll turn right around and claim race is a "social construct"
most of that talk today serves one purpose.....to demonize white western culture and rationalize poor behavior from other cultures
I'm guessing Camp of the Saints is out of the question as remedial reading?
lol
I think you are seriously misinformed about India. #1 No, we dont have Ku Klux Klan or its equivalent #2 The concept of BROWN pride is a non-starter, since most Indians like white or olive skin color due to colonialist biases #3 The right wing in India is about religion, not about skin color or race.
Discrimination in India is wrt religion and caste. But it is confined to Indians themselves, not against foreigners. No body in India is that stupid to beat up people because of their hair/eye/skin/arse colors like in Germany.
And whats this about me attacking all “WHITE” people and what not ? I cant attack all “WHITE” people, half my family is White and “non” nerdy, including my wife.
I know for sure that there is a group of people on the other side of the political spectrum, who love to present the EVIL RACIST WHITEY bogeyman to intimidate minority voters into voting for them.
But this issue is different. And Indians are NOT race baiters, as you know.
This issue is about genuine discrimination that needs to be urgently addressed by that country and their society.
BTW, I did half-expect someone to take cudgels on behalf of the entire “western” civilization and make a few well known remarks about “caste”, “cow-worship”, “all Indians being hindus” and such asinine remarks as usual. Thats why the sarcasm in the beginning itself.
But cmon be reasonable. Dont you think the only thing common in western civilization is McDonalds and Ikea ? since each country has its own culture and priorities. You must be knowing it better than me, you been there.
