Racist and blind to it: Indians face the mirror 2 of 5

http://www.lynmovement.org

Indians say they cannot be racist, but are we that innocent?

Are we unaware of our internal racist bias?

83% Indians agree, that is the case.

Love Your Neighbour Movement (http://lynmovement.org/home.aspx) is a Sydney based Christian movement - with international focus - dedicated to social and spiritual action to liberate - 170 million Dalits (doll-leets) or lower caste Indian people and approximately 100 million in Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Japan, Kenya, Mauritania, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Rwanda, Senegal, Somalia, Sri Lanka etc who are discriminated due to caste or some analogous social hierarchical system - socially, economically, spiritually and politically.

Indians are the worst racists. Calling a black guy a 'monkey' and yet denying racism? Only Indians can come out with a lie/denial like this. The problem is they have been used to their own internal racism for centuries - kept a large section of Indians as untouchables - and many Indians have no qualms about it. And they have no qualms about their racism against 'others' as well. If any Indian complains about racism in the west just remind him about dalits.

And it's amazing because most Indians (not all) are ugly not just in their character, but their physical appearance as well... Maybe "monkey" isn't offensive in India because most Indians look like monkeys??? I mean they should go and look in the mirror. India is one of the most corrupt democracies on the planet, its overpopulated, diseased, backward, poor, superstitious, Ignorant and Discriminative...

They of the most arrogant people on the planet... Very sad...

I am Indian, and I have come to the conclusion that Indians are not capable of ruling themselves. They need a foreign government to spoonfeed them ethics, equality and functionality without corruption...

[SamuelJoaodaSuica]

I'm Indian, and I think Indians need to go and look in the mirror... We look like Monkeys, yet for some reason we consider "Bastard" more offensive than "Monkey"... This is why I left India, to get away from all the ignorance, discrimination and plain lack of humility...

indians are very racist. i had lot of difficulty to live in india since iam north east indian. i don't know why our state is in india, it should be either indepedent or be with china. atleast we won't face racism there. they look down on us like lower race. i hate them. i found south indian, goan, oriya and bengalis are less racist people from india.

[Siddharthangom]

indian discriminate among them selfs in color ,region and religion .And think them selfs to be of higher cast. I guess they did not learn any thing from 1 century years of British rule in their country and the sick "Divide and Rule " policy.

Indians aspire to be like the white man thats their ultimate dream,Im not saying they all have this trait but many do!

[TheUnconquerableSun]

Indians are racist just like everyone else.

The problem is that they are so convinced of their superiority that they do not realize it.

@jy768 U forget that their are dark-skinned gods as well.

Yes Indians are racist, I know it cuz I am one. But the level of racism is different. We are not blatantly racist (except for Symonds incident). However, every group of people are racist.
