Is India a racist country or Indians Racist, these are the questions which have been debated many a times. Calling Andrew Symonds monkey names just because of his hair style, doesnt make Indians racist. Calling a muslim a 'mulla' doesnt make anyone a racist. jesus, whats wrong with everybody. there are so many north eastern students who study in delhi, as we all know... they are generally referred to as 'chinki's'.... why? the only plausible answer to it is that they look like the Chinese. So now whats wrong in that. So now if a Delhite calls someone hailing from Lucknow a U.P ka bhaiya, he should become a racist, shouldnt he? Well he doesnt. Why cause everybody from U.P is called as a UP ka bhaiya. Its accepted. Now if this is accepted, then why is calling someone a 'mulla' or a 'chinki' not accepted. I think the whole concept of racism is politically motivated.
I am quiet sure that everyone must have heard of Russel Peters(the stand-up comedian), who is known because of his jokes on the Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Indians. No one calls him a racist, why, just because he doesnt do his stunt in India, or Britain. (You have to see him perform)
well the point is that in India, everything is politically motivated. Be it racism or cricket.

for me, that was the first good article by you dude!! because it gives sum food fr thought..
the first blog entry by you was a fuckfest, the second was a diary entry, and the third was a mediocre review ... But this one was good...
Way to go....
Racism involves prejudice towards a race. Russel Peters probably isnt prejudiced even though the jokes are absolutely politically incorrect.It is debated though, whether he tells rascist jokes or he jokes about rascism. The bottom line being, rasicm isnt just a politically motivated concept but a real issue going on from imperialistic times.
