					<description>Hey TDNA, your blog is hilarious. You have an amzing sense of rumor...sorry....humor.

The more I am reading thru it the more I am laughing out. Man where do you get this from?

Anyways...about this post, I think that the word Negro is not a politically incorrect term. It is the name of a race. Now "nigger" is a weofully-erverythingly incorrect word. But negro is the just the name of the black race. Samething like Caucasian, or Aryan, or Mongol et al.

What say?</description>

					<description>Hello:)

I reached here via Sudipta's blog.

Re this posting.. 
Yes, sometimes silence is the best weapon. Those are the times when you have to simply give up when it comes to putting some sense into the minds of such bigots.
No one culture is superior than the other.  And for those who feel inferior in any way, remember, nobody can make you feel inferior unless you allow them to.  

You have an interesting blog. My first visit here. Will surely come back for more :)

					<description>oh gosh! sometimes i think indians are more discriminatory than everyone else!
we're so hung up on colour, it's ridiculous. 

indians in the US tell me about their dislike for latinos and african americans all the time. 

aarrgh!</description>

Yep!  I agree about the flights.  If you were in the bay area, there will be more occasions you would want to shout, "that guy does not represent India!"  I see people who are very rude to others and don't follow the norms that are well-established in this country.  I fear that we are bringing discrimination upon ourselves!</description>

					<description>&lt;strong&gt;How Do We Know :&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;em&gt;gradient of respect&lt;/em&gt;

Very interesting coinage!

&lt;em&gt;seems to be programmed into the species&lt;/em&gt;

Ya!  I need to find out why it is that way.  Is there an evolutionary reason for this!?

&lt;strong&gt;Isis:&lt;/strong&gt;

Oh, do you konw that black girls are just waiting for Indians to trap them and marry them?  One of my aunts warned me :)

&lt;strong&gt;shilpa:&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Indian pc movement&lt;/em&gt;

I guess it has to start from respecting all races and castes of India before we consider other races!

&lt;strong&gt;mosilager:&lt;/strong&gt;

I do think it's ignorance. But the reason I mentioned it is because the same guy who thought it was wrong of whites to discriminate was discriminating in the next sentence!

&lt;strong&gt;Alan:&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;em&gt;HEY! I resemble that remark!&lt;/em&gt;

ROFL!  Of course you do!  You also speak a bit of Hindi with some accent like those "gora" characters in Hindi movies :)

&lt;strong&gt;Priya:&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;em&gt;I thought they were flags&lt;/em&gt;

hahah!  Flags huh?  Flags of countries I am banned from? :)

Thanks for visiting this blog.  Hope you enjoyed your stay.

&lt;strong&gt;Cinamon:&lt;/strong&gt;

Ya, you are right.  We have so many prejudices against the groups within the country, it is too much expect us to be non-judge mental towards other races.  You have surprisingly good observation for a Northie :P

&lt;em&gt;As usual..nice post&lt;/em&gt;

Thank you!

&lt;strong&gt;itchingtowrite:&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;em&gt;tagged&lt;/em&gt;

Thanks for the honor!  Will pick it up soon.

&lt;strong&gt;Pratap:&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;em&gt;you got a huge following for your blog&lt;/em&gt;

Nah.  If you really observe, most people who come by are the friends I made in the blogworld.

&lt;em&gt;lots of funny stuff&lt;/em&gt;

Cant ask for a better compliment!  Thank you very much

&lt;strong&gt;Dream Catcher:&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;em&gt;hit ur head on a empty vessel which will just make noise nevertheless&lt;/em&gt;

You put it quite well.  If I started arguing with the guy, he would've made more racial comments and not change any of his ideas anyway!</description>
