It really is the slow extermination of the White Race. When we are gone, the whole world falls into Darkness.

I sound like a supremacist, but I’m not. I’m not against others being proud of their race and culture. Great, think I, good for you. But am I not allowed to be proud of the race I was born into and the accomplishments of my ancestral culture? No. Not in today’s world.

No need to make this an issue of race.

The article says the people found in the container were from the Indian subcontinent but doesn’t elaborate from where in the Indian subcontinent exactly.

FWIW and just for the sake of conversation; India is a very, very large country and while we tend to think of Indians (as in those from India) as being of one single race and ethnicity, there are many races and mixtures of races and ethnicities that make up the population of India.

There are those who are descendents of Africans and perhaps the Australian continent especially in the south (and they look a lot like Aboriginal Australians with very broad noses and thick brows, very dark skin and wavy hair) and those in the south who are more closely related to Indonesians and look more like Indonesian, and then there are those who are more Mogililoid or “Asian” such as those in the north along the Tibetan boarder (who look much more Asian or ethically Tibetan/Chinese) and then there are those in the northwest and central areas of India who are often referred to as the “Nordics or the Indo-Aryans” who share a common ethnicity with the Persians and Iranians and who are classified as being Indo-European and part of the greater Caucasian race.

I find it rather ironic that when Hitler and the Nazis and their later day followers in the white supremacist movement, extol the supremacy and purity (e.g. the whiteness) of the Aryan race, they probably are not including the original Aryans who were not from Northern Europe but from Persia (modern day Iran) and northwest India. The very word “Aryan” comes from the Sanskrit word ārya, which is the self-designation used by the Vedic Indic people who migrated into the Indian subcontinent about 1500 BC.

I work with a woman who is originally from India. She told me that when she has to answer a census or fill out one of those EEOC forms when applying for a job, when she is asked to identify her “race” she usually answers “Asian” as that’s the PC thing to answer for most Indian Americans now days, but she also told me she would be just as comfortable answering Caucasian in that she identifies more with Europeans and European culture than she does with Asians and in her family tree there is a lot of English ancestry. If you met her, you would not mistake her for not being of “Indian” ancestry but you wouldn’t look at her and consider her as being Black or Asian either. And FWIW, she came from a very wealthy, “high caste” family in India, a very educated and successful family and she speaks and writes better English than many of the people I work with who grew up in Central PA. And she is very assimilated in the American culture including her manner of dress and of being more a typical suburban “soccer mom” than an “Indian”. Just saying….
