"I love how you get on your little soapbox and make a spill about India."I'm not making a "spill" about india,I am making a condemnation of deeply Racist, oppresive & Hypocritical socio-political establishment.You are HAPPILY ignorant of the major human rights struggles that plaque human kind.and it is hypcritical to condemn me as racist (according to your accusations) when India continues its widespread racist abuses...but all you can think about is how cute nandita das is.

wth are you even going on about? you got issues dude, ISSUES. I love how you get on your little soapbox and make a spill about India. ummm....what?I never stated that I knew anything about India let alone be an expert on their social injustices. This got completely and utterly OFF TOPIC.Back on topic:I simply don't like bigotry and racism. I'll always speak out against it...online, in person...wherever, whenever. And you my friend are a racist.☮Nandita Das is a goddess!

"Plus, Nandita Das is very outspoken on most of the issues you raised."Horay for Nadita. Nandita is not india. Nandita is NOT a hypocrite,... Nandita does not deny that india is a hypocrisy.**I'm simply perplexed.About what? india's Hypocrisy is nothing new,...and their nothing new about the innocent ignorance of western pie-in-the-sky idealism.

It's only because the vast majority of Indians are indeed racist & bigoted that such a deep & widespread oppression & injustice has continued for so long(I know young westnized indians, they admit as much of their countrymen).Again, you know NOTHING about India (and you fail to see National hypocrisy when it is before you).

Plus, Nandita Das is very outspoken on most of the issues you raised. I'm simply perplexed.and what's the point of the new moniker? Strange.

Kaimosae (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

lol and you sound just peachy to be around.Anyway, um...how is this rant even relevant to what was discussed above? I'll simply say that just because you have ignorant fundamentalists in a country (they occur everywhere) doesn't give you the right to be a racist jackass. Labeling individuals as "browns" and clumping an entire nation, which is extremely diverse, as one thing...yeah, that says more about you than it does them.

AmericanStory1 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

What do YOU know about India?Do you learn an Indian language?Do you help india in any way? (Peace Corp voluntarism).WHAT have you done for the Dalit (oppressed "untouchable" indian class).**Listen, I once had respect for india, but the truth is that Indian society is EXTEAMELY hypocritical (india is an extremely oppressive, racist & bigoted nation)...As ignorant westerners, we are supposed to think that Ghandi represents India, NOT SO (he was a voice that is almost 100% ignored).

Kaimosae (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

"American" means a nationality...not one particular ethnic group. That is pretty illogical if you ask me...especially since the U.S.A. is the most diverse country in the world. But when you over simplify it and just say american...that can mean any of the various Americas...or American territories. and you know what asshole, I'm not "brown" you racist piece of shit...I'm probably "whiter" than you...I'm just not a retarded regressive bigot. I find ppl from all across the globe beautiful.

AmericanOriginal1 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

If I meant "American" to mean "ALL ethnic groups" then "American" would be indistinguishable from another group, thus it could never be a valid statement, and therefore it is illogical to conclude that by "American" I meant anything but mainstream American (White).PS I don't normally have conversations with browns, therefore you should consider yourself lucky.

Kaimosae (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

well, it is a good thing that the term "american" represents ppl of all ethnic backgrounds....a beautiful melting pot of diversity.if you used "american" to mean white, blonde haired, blue eyed girl....then I would've called you a fucking asshole. :D
