ARE INDIANS RACIST- SOME UNEXPECTED ANSWERS

Indirectly I got an answer to my question of the blog below. Bishan Sahai, a brave open- minded racist and sexist wrote very honestly:
“ There is no denying that Indians, typified by the upper caste Hindus are extremely racially conscious. Which other society has an equivalent for malleech for other people ? It is a mistake however, to treat the bias for fair skin as racial or ethnic discrimination. That attitude is patently related to aesthetics, even if misconceived, just like one may find an oval face or long legs more attractive.
By the same token, there is nothing racist in regarding colored females incomparable with the prototype of cheerleaders. Their role is to titillate the libido of Indian males (fair, or brown or dusky or dark) – expensively displayed with white skin is more likely to do so, especially in bright incandescence. It is a matter of specifications for the job, which must be settled before the recruitment process begins”

Ruchi Metha wrote:” India is a hypocritical and racist nation. We are probably the most hypocritical nation on this planet. While on the one hand we condemn discrimination of any sort we have color based discrimination so deeply entrenched in our mindset that we are unable to tolerate colored cheerleaders. While we feel offended when we are at the receiving end, we do not bother to put our own house in order”
