Okay, yesterday, I posted a question about my BFF's parents, if they were racist. (I am Russian, go see my past question to understand this one) So, all these people think Indian people are not what they seem. One person said, "you know they don't wear deoderant, right?". That is stupid, because that is not true. All Indian-Hindus have to always be clean because religiously, you must be clean to pray and such. One person stated, "It is weird for them to hate blacks, if their skin is very, very dark." That is not true because a lot of Indian people have not black skin, but brownish-tannish skin. If you look at Aishwarya Rai, she is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen, is Indian, and has VERY fair skin. Several of Indians do. Only some Indians from the South part ofIndia have dark sking because it is much hotter there, compared to the North part of India. What is wrong with these people who think these awful things, about some of the World's smartest people?

We have to judge people as individuals, besides everyone is different. Some people who look Indian may not even be Indian, so it's best not to assume that people are some quality or race. I'm not Indian but I know people that are and they take showers every day and wear deodorant. There are some that aren't wearing deodorant or showering but not all of them do that. I heard a comment from a guy once about Indians, there was this Indian kid who walked into the basketball court kids were playing and the guy said behind the Indian guys back: "Oh the stupid dumb$$$ Indian is a loser and they all smell like s@@@, what do they know about basketball?" This happens to every race, even if your black, brown, yellow, white it can happen to anyone.

They are ignorant and afraid of things or people that they do not understand. This has probably been passed down from their family. I know a lot of racist people that think that way because their parents did and they don't know any better.
Avoid these people in the future, perhaps your BFF will change their mind about Indians.
I encountered a lot of this while growing up. My stepfather's family is very ignorant. When I was younger I was with a Muslim guy. They said all sorts of awful things when he wasn't there, but I stood my ground and corrected the adults when they were wrong. I may not have changed their behavior completely, but I made them be nice when we were there.
Stay strong and try not to take their hatred personally.

Unfortunately, people like to speak of things they know nothing about. Those people always seem to have a lot to say on the subject, too.
After returning home from living in Europe for 5 years, I was amazed to see these same people suddenly had nothing to say, not even to us. We were as strangers in a strange land. I guess it's the only way they can feel important - by putting others down.

Just my opinion but the smartest people are def asians..hehe...People who are racist such as these obviously have personal problems that need sorting out. People say that racism has been thrown out the door, clearly it still exist. But personally I think that everyones a little bit racist in their own way....so I wouldn't think much of it, just keep what you believe and don't let other people's views get in the way of that.

It's called "ignorance" ... if they don't know something they make it up .... they get a warped peceptive from others and believe all the lies and half truths that they overhear or read from other uninformed morons ... there are just as many people out here that do have some clue as to how the rest of the world lives ... it's just we aren't noticed as easily because we aren't as stupid or as racist

once you probably did the challenge the first way, you rounded the numbers to -13.40 3 and (-13.40 3-80)=-ninety 3.40 3. those numbers supply you -334.01. even if, in case you take advantage of the numbers with each of the digit sthat are given on a calculator, the answer is precisely -334. attempt it lower back without rounding.

Agreed. These sort of people lack in knowledge as far as I can tell. Or they're just simply ignorant.
