| | | | | "Ain't" we Racist? "Ain't" we Racist? Register to Remove Advertisements This was shared by one of my friends on FB whom am not very well acquainted with. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/hard-talk/37261-aint-we-racist.html
Isn't this sad that all the while fighting for the right to wear Turban and no discrimination against at work, this is how many of us think inside?
We can't go and change the world, if we as Sikhs collectively aren't free from this kind of prejudice. *

| | | | | Re: Ain't we Racist? Very sad and very true but not uncommon. It takes many forms, race, skin colour, caste, nationality etc. Perpetuated in many ways including faith schools, family, culture etc. It's not going to go away in a hurry either. We can make a start though by changing ourselves and our children | | The following members appreciate Seeker9 Ji for the above message. | |

Someone older than me said something a while back which roughly translates as it's bad enough that white people are racist with coloured people but when coloured people are racist with each other then that's 10x worse |

Indians still don't accept blacks and consider them as different race |

I think the comment was in the context of racism based on colour. Off course Africans are visibly different from Asians but that doesn't mean we have to be racist?

Once as a child a I asked why is it that most of rich or upper middle class families have fair skinned people while most of poor are dark skinned,my dad replied the rich( financially sound) people use to marry fair skinned girls as a result their children use to fairer than the poor people |

| | | | | Re: Ain't we Racist? I don't understand why people post such rubbish. It's not funny in the least and it's just plain mean.  Why would you make fun of someone because of how they look...? It's of no fault of their own. | | The following members appreciate ohhcuppycakee Ji for the above message. | |

| | | | | Re: Ain't we Racist? True. Though this Singh shared what was posted by someone, as a link. Like a repost. But it still makes no sense what is so great about it? |
