FYI, Indians have NEVER beaten up any group of people of any non-Indic races, whether they are Germans or Americans or Africans or Chinese in this manner, solely due to their race.

Maybe not, but they lived (and to a degree still live) in a society stratified according to thoroughly bigoted caste system. How does the skin tone of your average Untouchable compare to the skin tone of your average Brahmin?

I hope you're not implying by your post that Indians aren't racist. Racism is a common failing of every ethnicity.

rotflol.. There are Brahmins from southern India, who are even more dark skinned than black people in US... caste is not related to skin color man.

another stereotype: Desi Christian chicks are supposedly sexy, but I had the misfortune of meeting some of the ugliest duds back home frm my own community.

Find out how many people castism killed and compare the figures with how many people European brand of racism and anti-semitism killed and then get back to me or design engineer if you still want draw moral equivalence and want to use the issue of “castism” as fair game for hounding innocent Indians to equal the scores.

Racism is a common failing of every ethinicity? Of course it is, but racial or cast motivated killing is far less prevalent in India ever compared to Europe or US.

Well, on an average North Indians are lighter skinned than south Indians.

I dont think its because of Caste, not that I have seen people eagerly claim that (but they are of the hindu right wing types whom we avoid).
