RE:RE:DOWN WITH BCCI, DOWN WITH KIRSTEN
by Maximus Decimus Meridius on Dec 03, 2007 12:26 PM

Ah, ad hominem rant, eh? No matter, I'll stay clear of that. I read what he said, as a matter of fact, that you very much. How does that make it *racist*? He mentioned about cars being dilapidated (wasn't it true?). He had problems with hotel rooms, food, no red meat, lack of socialization (I guess he means pubs), and things of that nature. Point of view. So? How is taht RACIST? I dont recall him saying Indians are so and so... he said he didnt like the conditions in India in 1996. Sure, you could call him the typical firang tourist spoilt by the luxuries that life in the first world affords him, but that's hardly racist. So many desis go abroad and say that they dont like this and that there. Are you trying to say they are racist? Not liking India is not equal to not liking Indians. I dont like Delhi, but I have nothing against people from there. Comprendi? Kirsten didnt like India in 1996, but it's a leap in reasoning to infer that he doesn't like the inhabitants of that land.
