I don't care which country does it, what happened or whatever., the bottom line of, Asif as a foreigner from a neighboring country got bullied and treated badly in OUR COUNTRY..Instead of trying to argue that it happens in all countries, why any we take a stand and fix it... I don't care how Bagladesh treats us or how Pakistan treats us.. All I know as A PROUD INDIAN is that I will treat them with all respect and equality...

It may be for people who have comprehension issues. Otherwise, it is not. As to why the inmates should care about a Bangladeshi getting respect, it is very every foreigner is a guest to be shown respect. Bangladeshis have had high achievements, I can acknowledge that as an American, so why all this superiority complex over Asif? That was the question.

Sorry to interrupt but how the hell is saying "Indians, Bagladeshi's, Begali" racist.??? Aren't we all the same skin color and basically root from the exact same place... We all are the same race ultimately,,, .. What is the diffence between a Bagladeshi's and Indian other than their nationality...?? We even look alike.. You can't tell the difference between a Bangladeshi and an Indian if they stand side by side...

I don't understand why people are getting personal and being offended... TM mentioned right in the beginning of the post that she isn't generalizing all Indians..

Secondly, I hate the attitude of people going like , "Oh, but they did this too, that country is like that too, that country did this and that, so what if we do it?" .. That mere attitude slows down any type of progress in India... Just because other people or countries or industries do it, doesn't particularly make it right... If its wrong, it's wrong... Instead of saying "this country also says this or that country also does this" , why don't we better our India...??

I don't care how Bagladesh treats us or how Pakistan treats us.. All I know as A PROUD INDIAN is that I will treat them with all respect and equality...

For example, America and Canada are neighboring countries.. Candians get mad when we're called Americans and Vice Versa, but whenever there is a problem, America is the first country to help us out and treat us well and vice versa... I'm a proud Canadaian and VERY PROUD Indian but when I see shit people do in MY COUNTRY, obviously I will say it and point it out because I want it to improve it and be known as a good, caring and peaceful country... I'm not Bangladeshi so what they do to us is merely their business(but they don't do much to be honest...) and not my problem but I certainly want my country to be looked at as respectful and not the way the Bigg Boss inmates portrayed...

And this isn't a country war... This is a question that has been raised before as well and it is bound to arise because Asif getting bullied for his language barrier and being different was very apparent... I'm sure the viewers of Bangladesh who tuned in just to support Asif weren't happy with the treatment he got,, The fact is he was treated badly... And instead of trying to be ashamed of such Indians like Armaan, Andy, Gauhar, Kushal, etc, people are justifying it by saying other countries do this and that...

1. I'm not saying that others engaging in racist behavior gives us a free pass to engage in racism.

2. I'm saying that this is NOT a case of racism/discrimination but pure bullying.

3. Foreigner being bullied in India is not necessarily racially/ethnically motivated. I have been in that position and not once do I think it was racism.

4. There is NO evidence or hint that there was ANY discrimination against Asif solely because on his nationality. People are making this up.

4. There is a lot of real racism that happens within India (like how Kashmiris, NE Indians, Africans, Nepalis are treated) , we don't have to cook up some bullshit over what happened in a third rate reality show where vulgar behavior is common to prove that there is racism in India. Doing this trivializes real racism that goes on in India.

I rest my case.

Even though I hate the inmates for bullying Asif, then didnt do because he was a Bangladeshi. They had a language barrier with him and they had already formed groups.

Why are people on this forum constantly bashing India and Indians in a subtle way for how Asif was treated in the house ? Bigg boss house mates are not representative of all Indians and you do realize that he has been aided by INDIANS to get to where he is today ?? If Indians were not accepting and welcoming, he wouldn't be living in mumbai with a business that is located in Kolkota and Mumbai.

And as far as the contestants laughing at his accent, let me tell you it happens with everyone. Indians make fun of each others hindi accent all the time. I'm a Bihari, our accent is the butt of all jokes in India. It is not done out of racist intent, but for pure fun.

As far as Indians looking down on people from non anglo countries, why is Veena Malik so successful in India then ?

And yeah, Americans do laugh at the Indian accent, do you even watch your own television ? There are countless videos on youtube with prank calls to Indian restaurants and 711s with retarded parodies of Indian accent. I have been bullied, made fun of my accent and isolated badly at many work places in America. It happens everywhere and I'm pretty sure if I went to Bangladesh and spoke in a broken bangla accent, people would laugh at me too.

Was it justified how they treated Asif ? Hell No !! But stop trying to paint all Indians and Bollywood/TV industry in a negative light.
