Symonds and Racial Abuse
by Rajesh Vyas on Oct 18, 2007 10:17 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Sir:

We have once again proved that we are teh most bigoted, highly prejudiced and racist people.

Our fixation with the white skin is known to everybody. While we look upto the white skin we look down upon the Blacks. Even among ourseleves we treat the South Indians with sneer and contempt just because some of them are on the darker side compared to the northerners.

We are racists, casteists and hypocrites of the highest order.

We have neeb like this for centuries and we shall continue to remain so for all times to come. Noone can help us change this approach and attitude.

Dear Rajesh,

I think you are talking a load of Bull8hit here. No one in India really treats South Indians differently. I am a south Indian, fairly on a darker side and none of my North Indian friends have ever treated me badly.
In case of Simonds, no one booed or teased him because he is a black man. It was a reaction ( must admit: a bad one) to his uttarances against Indian players and overall arrogant behavior.

So stop critisizing Indians for stupid reasons.
