many white americans are racists with black and latinos...all those comments on an Indian being racist really surprise me, as if it would be so rare and unique to Indians
Unfortunately Most Indians!'' THINK'' The are ''White'' the have identity crisis....Hahahaha ! itS REALLY a shame when you don't know who, you really are...in INDIA if you're dark you considered Ugly!! so Indian women bleach-bleach to look fair skinned ..lol! Sick indeed!!
Of course he doesn't seem to be a racist to white folks. And obviously he has a store in a predominantly African American neighborhood to rip them off!
What in the hell does him owning a store or teaching at a Black University have to do with racial prejudice?? Just because someone profits from the people doesn't mean they actually respect them or like them.
Oh wait nvm, we must give black people all the double standards they demand, and make everything race-related whenever the victim is black! I wonder what liberal scum thought up this crap.
@yosoyconsuela That was a hyperbole I wrote intentionally because of all the people labeling him, as well as all Indians as racist people, when there's no evidence of that.
My ex is Indian.I got pregnant in University,and his family told my ex he would be disowned if he had anything to do with me.They literally flew to Canada,secretly packed him up,and took him back to Dubai 3 days after the news..I have never seen him since. Have talked to some of his other family,who are 'outsiders' and this embarrassed the family,and because I was white,older and poorer I wasn't suitable to be 'part of the family' so they pretend My Son doesn't even exist..sad culture..
@LittleNiki321 Nobody cares about your life story. Maybe you shoulda been an adult and taken responsibility of the situation, and not use your mishap to trash all Indians. Shame on you, grievance monger!
It's not that he is 'racist' in the traditional sense of the word....he might not hate other races, but when it comes to his son marrying someone from another race, that's a different story...its now embarrassing to the family...what would the neighbors and other family members think if Ricky was found out to be married to a black girl, and have a bi-racial baby?? Thats the REAL issue
This man didn't have to be racist against blacks to have hired someone to kill Sparkle, she wasn't an indian & therefore to Mr. Rai was below his son....
All of these stories on Dateline and 48 Hours have one common denominator: THE MURDERERS DO NOT PLAN THE MURDERS. Period. When you kill someone, you must think of when the shit is going to hit the fan, because the shit will always hit the fan, even 20 years later. It's called Cold Case.
@ilovebubu28 If he married a white girl it would be the same situation...Indians don't want their kids marrying anyone who is not of the same race, class and religion...I know this from personal experience... I have a white and Indian son...my ex and his family pretends he doesn't exist...My ex humiliated the family being with me and he ultimately chose to abandon his own son to please the 'family'.
@LittleNiki321 oh god im so sorry to hear that.... and i totally understand you. im mexican and my bf indian he took me to his house and they are fake... they smile at me and say hi only when hes around... i have had so many bad experiences.....like not being invited to his sisters weeding, who i knew : /
and honestly im way lighter than them, but still theres that discrimination..
we plan to marry in the future and i have already made up the idea how his family will be with me..so is ok
chiman rai could pass as being half american indian and half black........... i believe interracial marriages cant work between non whites. i am white, married to a japanese here in japan, because of my race`s brilliance and maturity i can manage it without killing her....... racism sucks ass!
he may not be racist! when it comes to the common black person.. but things change when it comes to your children and grandchildren.. and we all know how important race is in the indian community
@swlovesvegans well, NON racist people would not care what colour the mother of their grand child was, as long as she was a goof wife and mother. Of course he was racist..sheesh...
@ShawnoftheDay yes..thats what i meant.. he's a racist... he may be cool with everyone around him.. but when it comes to his family... the truth comes out.
@swlovesvegans Ok, look at this Mr. rai himself! people, please look at him! Is he better-looking than King-Kong? Look at his children! All of them! Are they the best-looking on earth? And the husband of Sparkle looks any white or fairer? I'd have jailed the defense attorney too!
I believe Indian caste garbage is the unfocused on issue here. Indians from a "clean" caste --brown skinned or not-- are more likely to feel brotherhood with white bigots than with the children of slave folk.
A peaceful man?! Do you, stupid lawyer, really think that we are all morrons? Do you? Get a life man. A life that can makes you sleep at night. We all know that kind of people who wants her daughters and his sons to marry one of their own. and if they don't achieve that they ate so much that they could easily murder someone or send someone to do it for them. There's a lot of similar cases. The fact he's a examplar citizen... look at BTK...
thats a stupid defense, because there was NO money missing at the crime scene... and why would an "innocent" man offer the "stranger" $500? hes so G U I L T Y!!!
@judy4justice - Jews are as white as anyone but white Nazis still hate them. Who says common color equals brotherhood ? . . . . India has had a very rigid ranking system (caste) for centuries where the lower-caste people are stomped into the ground. I don't find it hard to believe that many Indians could view blacks as another group of out-castes.
@afro747 Jews will NEVER say they are caucasian because they have white colour! Jews belive they are a different RACE! They even use DNA to proove it!
@tasbah3 - My point was having the same skin color doesn't equal brotherhood. Some people seem to think that, because Indians have dark skin, they must love blacks. But, isn't brotherhood in the heart ???
@tasbah3 I am so glad you have the internal knowledge how we feel. I am Jewish, European and Caucasian. Jewish is not a race (BTW there is only on, the human race), but an ethnicity.
@blondecat666 The Jewish rabbis from Chabad Lubovich have all said that Jews are a dirrefent RACE!! Not a Ethnicity BUT RACE!! Why do the state of ISrael forbid Jews from Russia ore Oriental Jews to marry a Cohenim Jew? Well it's because a non Cohenim Jews is not seen as a PURE Jew because they can not proove that all their ancestors are PURE JEWISH RACE! Why is it not allowed in Israel for a non Jew by law to marry a JEw? Well it;s because they want to keep it a PURE JEWISH RACE!
@tasbah3 Don't be ridiculous. Since when the Orthodox Jews are expert in anthropology???? I am talking about science here, not some beliefs of an uneducated close-knit group. When you only study one reference book in your life, (Torah/Talmud, Q'ran or the Bible) in doesn't give you real knowledge. Or (let's bring a non-religious example) during China's 'Cultural Revolution' they only studies Marxism-Leninism. Well, at least they didn't believe in an imaginary old man sitting up in the sky...
@tasbah3 ...with a zombie son. :-) So to sum it up, no rabbi is a reference point to me in an anthropology question, where there is only one race and it is the human race. More importantly, do you really live in Tuvalu????How cool that is... I envy you.
@blondecat666 I also belive in the HUman race! But that does not mean that there are forces out there that are working hard to divide people! Rabbis have even written books about how the non jews are subhumans! In the world of Judaism a Rabbi is the leader of the comunity, so maby you don;t care about their sayings...BUT millions do. And that's dangerous! People have the right to know, so that these racist dangerous ideologist can be stopped! People are afraid to be stamped as anti semit
@tasbah3 I think you overestimate the number and the power of Orthodox Jews in their secular society. Bigotry is dangerous in every religion, but fortunately doesn't effect the whole ethnicity. Some of the Muslims also consider non-Muslims infidels, therefore non-Human.I am Jewish, very liberal, and I have many-many friends who would never consider listening to any Rabbi in a secular small group. Just please do not generalise all Jews, that would be called anti-antisemitism. Viva Tuvalu! Peace!
@blondecat666 There is difference,When A christian,a muslim say somebody is a Kafir or infidel it means that they are NON belivers. don't belive in God! But With Judaism It is different, It's about Race! Even a atheist Jews is better than a beliving Non jew! I am sorry but the fact is that Non jews are not allowed to marry jews by law in their country in order to keep the state of Israel as pure Jewish race as possible. Alot of Jews in Israel oppose this, but they are called self hating jews
@judy4justice looking a certain race doesnt make them a certain race. There are bushmen in africa, but they are genetically different from common sub-saharan africans. I heard they are the oldest race on earth
@judy4justice - So you honestly think that cultural violence is based on how dark a persons skin is? You have never traveled anywhere have you? Heard of the Hutu and Tutsi - 1 million dead in a race war? Or Hindus and Muslim - millions dead and continuing - often the same race?
@judy4justice So its somewhat justifiable if his family was fair???
This doesnt make any sense!....The guy is a cold blooded murderer...and Im sure brothers in the prison are looking forward to this guy coming to their cell...:))
Chiman Rai looks like he has no sympathy or remorse for what he's done! He didnt even mind the idea of going to jail,just brushed it off with, If we do, we do. I think it wasn't because she was black so much as it was that she wasn't Indian.How tragic!
@judy4justice if Ricky had married a white woman, it would have been ok with his Dad, in the caste system, the white race is placed at highest level and the dark skin race is placed at the lowest level, remember, this is where Adolf Hitler borrowed the term "aryan race". the idea is to have as fair complexioned kids as possible, this nonsense has kept India as one of the poorest countries with the richest people in the world, what a contrast.
@skenod - Indian Caste-ism is a major player in this issue in my opinion. - Caste-ism has led to all kind of wicked behavior in India. When people cross the border, they don't suddenly change their mentality.
