No I haven't and have no desire to go.....I'm more of a beach and Corona type. What is the system based on if not racism?

I've spent months in India. Dont believe me? So the fuck what. Where have you been?

Class. Read up on it.
I have never seen people treat each other as fucking shitty as they do in India and it has NOTHING to do with race.

The first clip shows a person, I'm assuming is black since the video doesn't show him, who is berating an interracial couple sharing a meal in a "black owned restaurant". He comments "couldn't you find someone better than that? Can't you get a black girl?" etc. "That's beneath you..". That's absolutely racist.
The next clip doesn't even need explanation, anyone who doesn't think that's racist is delusional. A group of black dudes standing on the corner preaching about killing white babies and making white people slaves..
The idea that everyone except white people can't be racist is ignorant

Well yes they are all the same race but, and no not entirely based on skin color, it was my belief that the caste system evolved from when Aryans envaded the sub continent. Yup I will read up on it, My interest has been tweaked

Actually... it is religion, class and skin colour. Do read up on it.
Or better yet... talk to some hindus about it.

Oh. So if you dont like black people just because they are black and so choose not to associate with them in any way that isnt racist?

It depressed the fck out of me first trip over. An expense account and the ability to tip very generously helped me and my travel companions reach out and touch the untouchables and the shudra (and I suppose assuage our guilt over the way our hosts treated these people). They are generally not even used to eye contact from those of "higher class". It's deeply engrained within the culture despite protestations from many that the caste system no longer exists in India.Well yes they are all the same race but, and no not entirely based on skin color, it was my belief that the caste system evolved from when Aryans envaded the sub continent.

They have their crosses to bear and we have ours, but they're not the same. I'm beginning to see where londonfog was going with this. The concept of racism as we understand it and debate about it today is uniquely american. Unless I've misinterpreted his thesis, I think he's right.

Thats right. Dodge my question with another question, so as not to conceed the point you lost ....miserably.
The thing is... the attitude (hate for a different race) doesnt have to have an effect to be defined as racism.
Most of the people are stuck in black vs white racism in america, but the question goes far beyond that.
