In my just released book "Think Only Whites Are Racist? Think Again!, I have listed East Indians among some of the most vicious racist. Unfortunately, since the release of my book, stinking insults and condemnation has flowed in like vomit. I have been accused of being a white apologist. Others have referred to me as an ass kissing son of a gun.
But who ever thinks I am going to back down is dead wrong. Instead I am going to vigorously defend and reinforce my stand as well as accelerate my fight against all forms of racism and to expose the hypocrisy of those who play both sides of racism fence. Those who claimed they were victims, when the racial slur or racial abuse hit them, but perpetuate despicable and shameful racism on their own when it was convenient for them .
To make sense of what I am talking about, please read the following episode from a very popular but repugnant Indian TV commercial promoting a skin lightening cream. The 40 seconds Ad depicts a distinguishably dark skin man who has no luck with girls. The ad continues with the black skin fellow being handed a skin lightening product labeled "fair and handsome" along with with admonishment from one of India's biggest film stars.
Some few weeks later, the poor black fellow who for his entire life has been snubbed by girls, because of his dark skin has turned lighter-skinned and looks seemingly confident. Then as he strides down the road doing the John Travolta Saturday Night Fever dance moves, girls who have previously shunned him flocked him, chanting hi handsome, hi handsome. The film star then appears finally into view with the skin skin-lightening product "fair and handsome." The message is clear, you have to be fair colored to be handsome and to be accepted. Can any one imagine a white fellow doing such a commercial without getting toasted?
But if you think that is an isolated incident, think again. A couple of weeks ago, four Indian cricket fans (including a female fan) were charged for allegedly engaging in racist acts against an Australian black player. Indian officials initially tried their best to sweep the incident under the carpet, dismissing the accusation of racism as a mere "cultural misunderstanding." All this, in spite of the evidence showing the four clearly taunting, mocking and making monkey chants and gestures towards the Australian player.
Now
it is important to note that, Andrew Symonds, the target of the mockery
etc. is of mixed race origin and therefore himself very much light
skinned; in fact, far lighter than millions of ethnic South Asians. The
bottom line is if these people have the audacity to abuse Andrew because
of his skin color which is far lighter than most Indians, you can guess
what they would do to a typical black person. But which ever
way you look at it, this only tip the iceberg of the culture of racism,
which is deep rooted in South Asia in general, and in India in
particular. To get the true sense of what I am talking about, read the
book, "Think
Only Whites Are Racist? Think Again!" To read
