Are We (Indians) Racists ?

[Flash]

Dude, I'm not saying that Estrogen causes lighter hair colour. I am saying that they have higher estrogen than other women in general, making them...well...extra womanly . Most men know this genetically, but not consciously.

Estrogen is female sex hormone, for the record.

Am not trying to offend you, but your previous post means 'Blonde hair is a sign of higher Estrogen levels'. Read it again!
That's why i said Eumelanin.

I am a sexist in the impure form.

Nothing offensive about your post. You were speaking about the hair color. I was talking about sex hormones. Little misunderstanding that's all.

I think we are racists. Think about this: How do we behave with international students in india? There was a student in my school from Africa. People bullied the hell out of him. Even in good engineering colleges across the country, students, faculty, and general public don't treat international students nicely.

yes but what you said is totally incorrect, its the testosterone level even in women which causes them to have sex. and not estrogen... estrogen only helps in development of female sex organs / glands.

infact high levels of estrogen can cause pain during sexual intercourse. Dude wtf, i am not even a doctor and i know more **** than you all for gods sake please make sure what you are posting is atleast right.

Racism is everywhere.
It just waits for a reason, to erupt it.

+1 , the way americans started viewing all muslims as terrorists. you know after 9/11 they started racial profiling of religious groups living in major cities and i think they kept a surveillance on some muslims whom they suspected were involved in terror plots.

Not only americans, most of the people thinks the same.
Though there are so many terrorist groups in world, Muslim-linked-terrorist get over-hype, because of Uncle Sam's watch over them.

What is "Are you color conscience" ?



Yes, pranay. You are racist. Don't include me.

It was not targeted towards you. "faun" was not mentioned in the post at all. No need to be so bitter buddy.

And there is a general misconception in India and other countries.

"All Terrorists are Muslims"

.

but broadly put more than 90% of the worlds terror groups have islamic religion. ( yes you can check that out yourself )

Can you show me some reliable proof for this statement? Don't say that they are terrorist because BBC and CNN reported like that only. How can you believe the media so blindly.

I think, we are deviating to "Terrorism" from "Racism".

doesnt have to be a genius to figure that out.

though i'd say the figure is more like 80%.
there are christian, hindu and sikh terrorist groups too (i havent included buddhist terrorists because they just set themselves on fire, no WMD's )

Ok. Let's stick to the topic then.

 

[club_pranay]

I think i should take my previous statement back. there are more than a billion people in the country. I dont think anyone can represent the views of entire population. Similarly, most of us have not seen all the countries of the world, so we really cant say anything about them either.

Are we racist? We all are responsible for our own behavior. We should teach acceptance and tolerance to our children. Lets not label people by their ancestry. Raise your voice if you see injustice. Help the people in need.

and in regions prevelant with crippling economies, the situation is worse... see afghanistan, pakistan, lebanon, libya...

We are good by ourselves, without feeling enmity towards each other.
It's some nut-cracks who arouse the problems among people, on behalf of religions.

To my knowledge, Indians are racists within India. We are not treating other COUNTRY people with racism IMO.

I read this in Chip and Dan's "Made to Stick" book. It's best to quote an excerpt from that to describe RACISM in simple terms.

There was an extremely interesting study done by Jane Elliott*, an elementary school teacher in Riceville, Iowa. After the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr, her students were confused about racism and she designed an experiment to teach them about prejudice and tolerance.

She split her class into blue eyed and brown-eyed students and the first week told the brown-eyed students that they were superior to the blue-eyed students. She gave the brown-eyed students extra time at recess and made all blue-eyed students wear special collars to distinguish them. Shockingly, the students began to fight and segregate. The brown-eyed students taunted the blue-eyed students and all friendships dissolved instantly!

The second week she told the class that she had made a mistake and switched the groups—now brown-eyed students were superior to blue eyed students. Again the taunting, segregation and fighting. At the end of the experiment, the kids seemed transformed. The experiment tracked the students years later and PBS Frontline did a special on the class. Many of the students, even 15 years later thought of the experiment anytime they felt prejudice and immediately stopped themselves.
