“Well, this article is really only about Brits marrying “South Asians,” who are mostly muslim, as we all know, because they’ve murdered everyone else. It wasn’t about Brits marrying Africans, or Brits marrying Chinese people, or Brits marrying American Indians, and in that sense it wasn’t about interracial marriage in general at all.
They didn’t even bother to ask Brits of African or Chinese descent how they felt about interracial marriage.
It’s not racist for me to comment on the same subject that the article itself addressed exclusively. He was talking only about that and so was I.
Context, my boy, context.”
Aren’t most south Asians (India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka) Hindus? I know that 80% of India’s 1.1 billion people are Hindu, that’s a lot of people.
I know when Brits refer to South Asians they are talking about Arabs, Bangladeshis, Iranians, etc. But they are also referring to Indians, which I knew but neglected for the reasons below.
But first, in my defense, and I know YOU haven't made the charge (but someone whom I shall not name came pretty darn close), that oversight does not make me a racist. My only point in all this was that muslim-nonmuslim marriages are for crazy people, not that interracial marriages in general are for crazy people. That's all I meant by it. Only that, and I apologize if anyone took it any other way.
Finally, what was this article about? What prompted the author to write it? Was it to educate and inform the public about the bad mojo that's going to come down on your head if you, a white Brit, marry a Hindu from New Delhi? No, I don't think so. There are thousands upon thousands of such marriages, which are successful and happy marriages. And they don't make the news.
There is only one kind of marriage between white Brits and South Asians which is in the news of late, which is a natural disaster waiting to happen, which everyone is thinking about, which everyone is reading about, which you'd have to be insane to enter into, and that is, my friend, a marriage between a muslim and a nonmuslim, in this case, white Brits.
If I'm guilty of anything it's reading between the lines, not racism.
