Not all the ethnic slurs are considered under Racism.

well not if one black calls the other black "black", but if you dont belong to their community, then you are screwed my friend...

 

[club_pranay]

An ethnic slur is considered an act of racial abuse.

Yes. It is basic animal behaviour to be suspicious and untrusting of something / someone you're not familiar with. That is the origin of racism. Every human is racist to a degree. You cannot judge it as a good or bad thing since the intrinsic nature of being wary of strangers is there for safety of one's own life / tribe / race / society. Only exposure to people from other countries, other races etc. can make one more trusting to them. Since most Indians have no or minimal exposure to the rest of the world, they are more wary of foreigners.

I stumbled across this well written article :

Indians, racist? Kabhi nahin | Newslaundry

In this article, A Washington Post article finds that India is the most racist country in the world on basis of a survey asking people to pick up group of people they would not want as neighbours. Though this survey could be flawed, but the author notes that the survey does not prove that we are not racists either. Through some might argue that India is more of a caste-ist society than racist, but our fore-fathers who implemented such methods perhaps themselves never knew the difference between castes and races.

Please have a go at the article and comment.

^ very interesting article.

Anyways, i was just thinking...for a nation with such diverse culture, where no particular group can be called "immigrant", we are a racist lot.

Apparently, "Indian" racism doesn't just exist in India :

India banned the caste system 60 years ago, but it lives on for many in Metro Vancouver

Re: how to add a video from youtube

Hello!
Administrators, please tell me how to add a video from youtube to a post?

Thanks!

I personally prefer to use the Add Video buton. But if you want to use the Youtube tag, just paste the part after "v=" in the video URL.

Everyone is a racist to some degree.

I think our mums have something to do with this. I've heard so many comments which are normal for us Indians but "OMG!" For outsiders.

niggers

I believe the correct term is African American/Canadian.

Do you personally refer to them using the "n" word in Canada?

I hope that old thoughts die with the old ones.
