Double Standards with Racism: Question for the Indian People or Anyone else who has an Opinion...?

Question

Why are Indians always the first ones to complain about racism here in the good U.K and other countries, when the
Indians themselves are one of the most racist, complexion concious people on earth? I mean, look at Bollywood...they don't let anyone on that's darker than a paper bag...they despise dark complexions...yet they complain when people act out towards them....a bit puzzling, don't you think?

To TAYLOR : You never answered the question that was posed...all you have done is to drone on about meaningless nonsence that has nothing to do with what I asked.
YOU are laught at ME! LOL...we are all laughing at YOU because you are an incoherant moron. You say indians are so smart? Then why is it that you can't properly answer a simple question and your thoughts are so disconnected?
Then you say "lighter people are a higher cast and are better, which is mostly true..." my oh, my...you are proving my point exactly. YOU my dear are a pathetic individual...and as for your statement, "if I did research I would already know the answer to this question.." MORON, me coming on here and ansking this question IS PART OF MY RESEARCH!! MY, you certainly have the intellegence of a BRICK WALL!

Rachel, you have nailed it on the head, so to speak. I'm glad you understand what I am asking here, unlike the imbicile Taylor that has written her foolish stupidity right above your bit.

The statement made by the ignorant sister-in law concerning the dark skin of the woman is blatant prejudice. The belief that dark skin is unattractive is a pervasive and common belief amongst indians. Many a times, I have heard Indians call a female --who normal people can obviously see is hideous-- pretty, just because she has light skin, while the pretty, dark skinned girl would be passed over and even called unattractive...it really is sick. I'm sure TAYLOR thinks I'm devilishly handsome because I have light skin...the silly twit!

Answer 1

I had a Indian friend once. His sister in law was talking about his niece and said to me " She is a brilliant girl and will become a doctor. Pity she is so dark. She will never make a match in her own caste but will have to marry beneath her". All because of the colour of her skin! Did the indians always feel like this or is it something that came with colonisation?

Answer 2

If u do ur research u wud know this already lol, It was the British who went to India, killed men, children, raped women, made the Indians as slaves, the Indians were outnumbered thats why British controlled them, since then they have always discriminate against Indians, then u aska quesiton like this lol, pathetic boy, wha made Indian society as its now? the British of course, talk about double standards ur an example lol, some Indians are one of the smartest pp, of the world, Doctort, Scientists, Teachers, etc they know what they are doing, they were smart and strong enough to kick the British out of their country, there is history between dark ppl and fair, fair ones tend to be higher cast and superior, which is infact true, bu ur on about the minorioty who do this, yet u ask a Question like this lol, everyone knows majority of Indians are civilised people, more so then the British and half of the world itself, thats why is progressing fast, Britian askes computers experts to come to the UK to their work and run their economy, ur so dumb man. my boyfreind is laughing this right know i swear,lol lmao.

Answer 3

once you place up questions like this: "Why is it ok for black human beings to apply the n-word on themselves and how is it racist for no longer helping Obama because of the fact of his stance on subject concerns.... WHY is this!!!!" There could be no different reason that raciam, when you consider which you're touching on 2 issues that have not have been given something to do with one yet another different than for race. ?°)

Answer 4

I agree and look at what they did about shipla burning the union jack and all that but thats ok its only britain

Answer 5

The cream rises to the top.

Answer 6

It's your fault for letting the heathens overrun your country. They're burning your flags and cutting off your heads (Arabs anyway), and you won't do a thing about it.

TAKE YOUR COUNTRY BACK!

Answer 7

You touch on a curious point but not a unique one.

Unless you engage the Indian people themselves perhaps, the answers you will be given may well prove rhetorical and without dimension at best. This will prove to be difficult -- most difficult -- because to step forward into this is to be brave on your part and theirs and risks confounding results by your and their fears, for no one person -- whether by the inquirer or the inquired -- of a group can quite facilitate consensus as to the why of it all.

Aberrations evident in anyone are those things that rest within one's lower nature. These are not conscious things and in fact underlie why one race or ethnicity, for example, does not evidence abilities or rather, willingness to see the priveleges it enjoys as a dominant race or ethnicity; matters not if it regards race, color, complexion -- or name it...

As I have said on Yahoo Answers before with others: a warrior, a true warrior, is one who confronts his or her own lower nature. I know of no greater enemy than that of one's inner lower nature, but which if tapped and focused constructively and on behalf of the good of others for best-laid plans, he or she could create a universe or wipe one out.

This is the force you are working with, however, if you should wish to broach the dynamics of the Vanities...

Now, the nature of dominancy endures throughout Nature -- true of all animals and plants, even in the mineral and energy kingdoms -- even galactic bodies where one star may take dominion over another star...

A minority is always a target for prejudice. And a majority will usually enjoy the fitness that double-standards afford -- and curious, this without awareness that a double-standard even exists and is being employed, often at the bane of others.

There has to be incentive that such awareness can be made evident in the consciousness of the individual or group. This is the Power component and not one of the Harmonies.

And as to why a minority is a minority might be addressed but in any case has little to do with numbers of people but rather with certain qualities and temperaments innate.

There has to occur somewhat assault, say, some manner of events and feelings ensuing, which are so deep in implication that the truth becomes an integral and living part of one's reflex: that is, what comes forth manifests naturally, without conscious editing, affectation, or concocted euphemism: it is how one is when he or she is not consciously working to be or do so.

This usually comes by confronting oneself spiritually or by some happenstance that spirals one into looking outrageously deeply into the realities of both one's inner and outside world.

But people are too comfortable in a group, in which theirs does not have to stand out and be accounted for, which is very much why race issue in any country shares little likelihood with lasting resolve. To differientiate is natural, and prejudice is a perversion of this nature.

If it is a majority group, the causation involved is even greater and more influential, so much so that through generations, even the lie becomes the truth.

And who are they who are willing to give up on their power?
What person, what family, what institute, what race, what nationhood?

The way to address these within oneself is to come to know that one does not know first of all, so that one comes to know that one does not know. This is most tricky, and usually must ensue when in aloneness...

Not to know that you don't know is one thing. To know that you don't know is quite another. And to know that you know is still another... True knowledge rests with knowing that with each level of knowing you achieve, there follows an even greater level of knowing...

To that end, one has to be often forced into circumstances in which one has to confront the issue itself...from which there exists no escape. This, too, makes warriors...

This again is difficult, for the work involved is tremendous, for Properties of the lower nature are primarily that of denial, and an unwillingness to concede, or moreover, that a concession is even an intention needing willed.

Hence, they do not know that they do not know.'! See?

Finally, there is the Anger band and spectrum -- with denial maybe the strongest intention of them all in Mother Nature's brood, the reverse of which face is Fear. Of that, these twins Anger and Fear are the most deadly of the litter.

The model of this is best demonstrated in the United States where privelege, denial, and racial dominancy are stark, and in which the selfsame behaviors as evidenced in India are quite pronounce in the U.S.

To wit: skin color, hair grade, race, breeding, and financial station are considerably fodder for the making of disparities and bigotry.

True to the behavior of this, denial and privelege are maintained at all costs -- arrogantly so. Thus, varied types of self-consciousnesses and distinctions are inevitable.

Answer 8

their religion is full of hypocrisy. they are never them selves.

Answer 9

but you cant beat a good vindaloo
