by ZUNED KHANJI on Apr 26, 2007 05:08 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Now we need to accept that our country's got the highest racism in the world..i know it's gonna hurt my fellow brothers' & sisters' but cant hide it...i'm NRI & used to say to every foreigner about greatness of my country but since i joined rediff group & after my recently visit, i realised it's the country full of racism regarding colour, religion, casts, states, languages & something i dont even remember now...so i hope dont fight like this in future & do some constructive talk, which'll help you guys n our country..n hoping for positive answer on my message..thanx

Haha... Oh, of course we are... We are masters at stereotyping... A guy, fresh off the boat in the united states *KNOWS* that all blacks are criminals, makes fun of people's food habits (esp chinese), thinks all latino people (aka mexicans) work as labourers and at taco bell and are illegal immigrants. And we suck up to the white man, cuz we are programmed to admire fair skin, be it of our own people or another race. Look up a matrimonial ad - a significant percentage of them cite fair as a requirement.

Another thing I notice here, about the debaters, is an attitude that states: You are a traitor unless you agree with me. (Not to mention the fact that even someting as simple as the police overstepping their powers is turned into a religious hindu vs muslim fight).

We are racists alright.

there is always light at the end of the tunnel,unless you are pessimist and say that it is a night train.
come are contribute to the well being of the society.even in a small way.
go the school or college you studied and not to mosque or temple.find what they want.it may be adrop in the ocean but its worth it.
