Apologies
by Joseph George on Jun 02, 2008 11:36 AM

Sorry to the Andersons and many others.

I find Asians (except most Arabs) to be more discriminatory.

Yes, S.E. Asians are more discriminatory.

The last two statements are discriminatory. Yet, I have to keep at it.

Put it this way, even the darker Indians have a complex and discriminate against darker Indians. It is this complex of ours which seeks oneupmanship.

Please pity us sisters. We are only as sick as Yuvraj and Preity. Highly complexed complexions.

India is as racist as any other major country on planet.....which country is not, please tell me???

I think this has nothing to do with north Indians, though they evolved from a more whiter race as compare to Dravidians. This happened a long long time ago.

I think the real issue in India is that Indians are not too open to accept blacks (African race) as equal citizens. Indians have great amount of prejudice for blacks and it kicks in when ever blacks come some what close to Indian heritage/culture.

In addition, thanks to colonial Europeans; whites are still considered some what superior citizens. What a shame. The moral of the story, India is as racist as any other major culture on this planet. Its a sad story but unless there is high level of inter-racial intergation; it's going to be like this for some time. Love and peace!

Also, I think the real issue is that "most of Indian's think that they are white people.. Though there cant be a better joke"..

Even a street begger of mangolia or turky..would be ten times farer..

The problem is that most Indians are living in a shell called India and assumes themselves to be at par ( in their owen yardstick of physical attributes) with whites.. he ha ah !!!!

Assuming that they are whites (rarely checking in the irror) they start acting elites..

The same Indian, when he/she goes abroad, frowns at the slieghst notion of his real physical attributes and gets hurt and complains of racism.

Indians have only two choises:

1. Accept that being fairer is supeirir to everything else and place themselves much lower among people of the world- You will get some saidstic pleasure seeing a darker guy staying next to you.

2. Grow up in your thinking and reject all notions of respect based on physical attributes. Take pride in being a civilised man

Options are open..But I think Indians will go for 1st option and apply Fair and lovely 3 times a day, even if he misses his daily blood pressure tablets !!!!

Racism is common everywhere
by Junglee on May 27, 2008 10:39 AM  | Hide replies

Everybody nurses some kind of descrimination whether it is color, caste / community , group, language, money or even apperance based. Color and community basis are very common. Rich people discriminate poor ones. Each language guy thinks that his / her language is the best and the all the rest are inferior. Even appearance too matters. Beautiful / handsome looking persons look down others who are not so much gifted. In some form or the other discrimination exists in varying degrees and in certain cases they are explicit in others they are not. In most cases we see such racism in our daily life but we tend to ignore them as normal. Some people like those cheer leaders know this too, yet, for the sake of creating a media driven excitement it is publicised.

yup I agree but I want to add a bit here. It is not published just for the sake of creating excitement by media. Most of the mainstream media around the World have western liberal values. Remember, my friends, 'western-liberal-values' which suggests that we should not discreminate. I agree, we should avoid as much as possible. But I want to coution all such media to understand the demography of India before publicizing its racizm charges.

India is a very different place than much of the west where you only have to deal with black, white and browns. In India, we have to go thru major prejudice every day in our lives. Indian demography is such that we have a whole lot to worry about than black and non-balck. We have to worry about Punjabi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Biharies and so on. This is a whole different can of worms and opens a lot of shameful prejudice and discremination issues the western media can not understand from their western perspective.

Not surprised
by Noel D on May 26, 2008 08:13 AM

I am not surprised by these allegations. All our movies glorify gorapan in hindi songs. 99% of the Rakhshasas are portrayed as black. I have notice that in many families (previous generation), if they have a dark skinned and a fair skinned daughgter, parents love and encourage light skinned one and neglect dark skinned one.

Most of the lower castes are darker than upper castes which means at some point of time color was the basis of caste system.

Here in USA, Indians are more prejudiced about blacks. In South Africa, during apartheid, Indian community considered itself as superior to blacks and respected whites even though they were mistreated by whites. In first elections after apartheid, they supported whites because they were afraid of backlash from blacks for prior years of discrmination.

Basically, Indiand love to get abused by whites but consider themselves superior than blacks. They would accept unqualified foreigner housewife Sonia Gandhi as PM rather than accept lower caste dark skinned Mayawathi as leader!

That's why the future sucks for India.
