Hey , There is no reason to be Racist !!
somebody took the bait!
well, hi sound_advice, i was merely describing those people who live east of india.
the native red indians of north america called the white (british) settlers - "BATURE" - which meant "skinless people" - they could not come to terms with the lack of colour of skin in those persons! - they were not racist - they merely described those people the best they could.
and hey, i have quite a few malaysian and ethnic chinese friends who describe us dravidian indians as brown sambhar-eaters! - they are not racist - merely describing a people the best they can.
and if i say some of the negroes of africa resemble the orangutans of malaysia (especially the ones in nigeria who dye their hair an orange colour), i am just describing their appearance!
and i quote - "Racism is the belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.[1] In the case of institutional racism, certain racial groups may be denied rights or benefits, or get preferential treatment."-
unquote
on a different track - forum members would have read about the arrest of T. Nazeer, most-wanted terrorist who blew up people in bangalore in Allah's cause - well, he is from Kannur, and used to live 50 metres from where i live.
this is a person who lived in india, with all the benefits that accrue from living in a free country like india, yet chose to kill his own people in name of a god.
Well, if i chose to describe him, i could, and that very graphically in the most colorful terms - and that would definitely be racist - they are inferior, less-intelligent, euthanisable human beings- they do not belong!
no sound_advice - i was not being racist - those people who live east of india are chinky-eyed and yellow skinned!
- and also do not have chest-hair just like salman khan and unlike sunny deol and, perhaps, unlike serena and venus williams!
