RE:Come on India..
by Vinay Srivastava on Jan 10, 2008 01:25 PM

No Mr Chaudhary, we are not racists. Our culture might be having many good things and many bad, but we are not at all racists. If you talk about jokes on Sardars, i can assure you it is not to demean them, it always shows the purity of character a Sardar has. Not only this all the examples you have mentioned are not racism, but they are for humor. Remembre there is a big difference between humor and racism. Every culture has such ways of amusing themselves. Racism is when we talk about a culture or race in a way to show them that they have lower status than us. Not only this as Australian team has shown, it is racism, when your words are better than mine. No matter, how many evidences are shown to you that you are wrong, but you insist that you are right because you are white and others are black. When we crack jokes, we don't say we are right. Give me one Indian who does not respect a Sardar, or a Maratha warrior, who does not respect Guru Govind Singhji or Shivaji Maharaj. So please don't call Indians racist. That's insulting to me and all the citizens of this country. As you should not call every Australian a racist, or every team menber of Australia a racisct. But yes Ponting, Buckoner, and others like them are racists.
