Yes, there is a lot of racism in it... Shilpa too had her part of it. Let me ask you - why we're not going to Africa or cambodia for shows ? Why we're not making films like Lagaan or Rang de Basanti where we proudly mingle with Eritrians or Mongolians or falling in love with them ? We are desparate to get white people's attention (pardon me.... Arabs, Central Asians, all are English and American fans :-)..we forget everything when they smile on us and say hellew !!!!) Why we're not thinking that we're all gifted with different qualities, which if we try can develop and be proud about ?, We Asians and Africans are just retarded and slow because, the white came out of the middle age darkness first. And it is human that we always try to exploit others..
Just we should be proud about ourselves and believe in ourselves, we don't want anybody's approval or attention, do not go there anymore for fun.......
we do not like it, Shilpa is one among us, let her learn to protect herself from ****** up in public..

Whether there is racism in India or not is not the issue here. It is interesting how people divert the issue to avoid facing it. From the facts, it is clear that Shilpa has been a victim of racist comments and that is the truth.

The more racist people are, the more they accuse others of it!
It seems to be a fact of life that we accuse others of the things that we ourselves are most guilty. If we all really believed that we were good people we would not feel the need to be hard on others. I am saddened that Shilpa was called names and I'm saddened that English people are called names by Indians too. (As well as others, who've been conditioned into believing that they are all bad).Everyone is being conned into being racist, all around the world, by the media because our feelings of inadequacy make us buy newspapers that point the finger at another person or group It makes a great deal of money for the media owners who are, in my humble opinion, as bad as war criminals.
Of course every country has done some harm in the world as part of our evolution, but not everybody harps on about what has been done to them in the past. After all England was invaded by just about every country in Europe but they don't continually whine about the atrocities that those people committed. We need to be honest enough to admit that we are all the same and all would have committed those acts if they had been in the same situation.
We should take heed from the anti-Semitic attitudes of the German people who had been brainwashed (or should that be brain-polluted?) into believing ill of their Jews mainly because they were jealous of them. Instead of working hard and being scholarly themselves they decided, with encouragement from their political "Leaders" and media, to destroy the Jews.
How they could have managed to quieten their consciense beats me!

If you sneeze at a paki in this country, you're in jail with a sentence longer than an attempted murder.
If you call an Englishman white trash and hit them in India, no-one cares.
