...or i think of Indians (or people of Indian descent) that i actually know,as opposed to the rich, upper-class Indians the MEDIA keeps cramming down my throat. it could be that.tikingjcoleprince;3264772 said:Most likely when you think of indians, you think of people that look like the following, so yeah, i do think that you, like most westerners, have a very slanted view of indians.

well, one, it's perhaps a mix of economic strata. two... i think a point being glossed over is the "portrayed in the media" part.tikingjcoleprince;3270644 said:-there is probably a 99% likely hood the indians you know ARE upper-caste, since very few non-upper-caste indians have the resources, or are legally permitted, to come here.

its over: 2012!;3271858 said:I dont think i was arguing, as I was being rather cordial towards the opinions here...plus I don't think there's anything wrong with it, since it's always correct, to identify a clear right vs. A clear Wrong or "worse-victim" in these scenarios
its over: 2012!;3271858 said:yes indeed you were, my friend, and so I hoped it would be laudable to bring a unique perspective on the centuries-old, global-code to prop india's indians as well as all other indians, up over Black people...

...this ...keeps happeningtikingjcoleprince;3271065 said:We've been talking about indians from India.
okay, here's the deal:tikingjcoleprince;3271117 said:We indians are our own ethnic and cultural group, but if you must fit us into the three major races, negroid, caucasoid, and mongoloid, we fit in either negroid or caucasoid.

...this ...keeps happening
okay, anyway:
okay, here's the deal:
01. no one is saying you cannot define Indians as their own ethnic/cultural group. in fact, one of the things i have repeatedly said is "Indians are still a distinct cultural/national concept WITHIN one of the larger racial groups"
02. everyone's negroid, caucasoid or mongoloid; you don't get to be none of the above. Indians happen to qualify as caucasoid (aka "white folks")
03. people in Indian, as it is a nation, may be mixed race and background, but this not unique to India
04. no one is exempt from the racial categorization. just wanted to repeat that one
05. this is why i make rulings on this: we're SUPPOSED to be saving time here
yes, i read everything you wrote. and then i posted post #164 after them. did you need me to post it again? because i am pretty sure i can accuse you of not reading my posts just as quickly.tikingjcoleprince;3277356 said:Did you not read anything else i wrote? Ya, SOME indians are caucasoid, but again, to classify all indians as caucasoid is a blatant lie. Many are very clearly negroid, and hell, some in the north east are even mongoloid.

now, see, this happened as well, but i can restate:tikingjcoleprince;3284720 said:Well i was just wondering, because generally when two people are discussing a topic, and person A makes a claim, if person B refutes that claim, it is expected that person B offers some sort of explanation as to why.
janklow;3293559 said:now, see, this happened as well, but i can restate:
01. nationality != race
02. no one is exempt from being categorized into one of the three racial categories
03. logically, there is no reason to pretend being placed in a racial category negates one's cultural/ethnic/national background or history or whatever you like; despite this notion being advanced, it's unsupported
"03. people in India, as it is a nation, may be mixed race and background, but this not unique to Indiatikingjcoleprince;3298515 said:And thats all true. But that still doesn't back up your claim that all indian are white. It just states reasons why i should be ok with that claim. But that claim is fundamentally wrong.

the clarification that you seem to be overlooking is that India is not just a general description of an ethnicity, but ALSO a nationality. hope that helps!tikingjcoleprince;3306731 said:OHHH it all makes sense now, being mixed in race and background = white. Thanks for the clarification.

you know, you say this like you're starting to get it, but then it all falls aparttikingjcoleprince;3321438 said:And race obviously != ethnicity OR nationality.
or they're only Indian in terms of nationalitytikingjcoleprince;3321438 said:And since some indians are white, its only logical that ALL indians, even the black, brown and yellow ones, are white. Makes perfect sense.

fundamentally, what this STILL comes down to is you being upset about being white. it's been on display the entire time. to which i say, it's not your fault you're white, man
