Here's my take on the sacrifice task. Every single person who did the task (even if Mumtaz did it, she's included in this), did it for their own benefit - to gain support. Viji would nominate Mumtaz and then go on and sit in cowdung for saving her. Ha ha, nice joke, but I am not buying it. To me, she did it to portray herself as strong-willed and kind. And my problem was talking about the Tamil card, to directly, or indirectly influence the audience and I can see that it has worked out to some extent.
Whatever the justification may be (their professional life, since you quoted that), it is still a form of racism to me and I find it wrong. Ennaku pudikala, that's it. I'm an Indian girl living in the US, and trust me, I've seen a lot of racism against me (I'm not that fair and all, so obviously), and well, I just don't like the group forming fiasco based upon race from my experience.
A sense of belonging to someone's race is inevitable, obviously and that's completely okay. It's human nature after all, there have been several studies that have reflected babies' tendency to stick to their own race. But when it's something conscious and verbalized, that's when it doesn't sit well with me.
This applies to the opposite side of the Tamil gang too. I'm not a fan of groupism and as I stated for tenth time now, I completely agree that Aishwarya and co. have been much more racist and abusive for the same, which is unforgivable. But just because of that, what the Tamil gang does cannot be left out conveniently, coz thappu at the end of the day is thappu, regardless of varying degrees.
