just classness bitchiness

So telling someone that they should "F*** off back to their own country", telling them to go back to the slums that they evidently live in, is not racist?

Racism exists, but there was ways to tackle it, the people who propogated used to be strong earlier, now the power has spread out.

As far as India and Indians are concerned, our forefathers have taught us ways to fight it, we have the mental and physical power to tackle it.

Having the power to resist it, if we still take it, it becomes pure ole bullism

Racism exists and I dont think its wrong. Just because the discrimination comes from skin color and people are clearly demarcated on their skin color...doesnt make much sense...Trash talk is not bad too.. If somebody is physically attacked thats where it goes out of control only as much as a thin guy attacking fat people cos he thinks they are fat and thus ugly..... 😊

Lakhavir Singh, the 22-year-old Sikh student from Mumbai, who was attacked by a gang of white racist youth in Scotland on Saturday, said there was much more to British racism than what everyone saw on Celebrity Big Brother.

"There was such an outcry over the way Shilpa Shetty was treated by Jade Goody, but her ordeal was nothing compared to how we Indians get treated on the streets here every day.

They call us Paki and not by our names. Living here has become very difficult," Lakhavir told MiD DAY from Paisley, near Edinburgh, where he has been studying for the past two years. He added there have been three such racial outrages in the past three months.

No exit

"I fear leaving my room to go to the university. I want to return to Mumbai, but I can't, as I have my exams in May.

It pains me that beyond a call from someone named Omprakash, the Indian embassy did nothing to help me.

Thankfully the local Sikh association and my college were very supportive," said Lakhavir.

However, Omprakash Bhola, acting consulate general, Edinburgh, said he was following the matter and would extend all possible help to Lakhavir.

"Our first priority is to give him medical assistance. He has been psychologically affected by the incident," he said.

Lakhavir's parents and two siblings stay in sector-9, Belapur. He is doing his Masters in Finance in Paisley University.

The incident

A group of white boys beat up Lakhavir, accusing him of having a bomb in his turban, as he waited for a bus at a supermarket near Glasgow, where he works part-time.

They ripped off the 22-year-old's turban and punched him in the face and kicked him as he lay on the ground.

Lakhavir said that in spite of four frantic calls made to them, the police came only after he had been subjected to brutal violence and racial abuse for over an hour.

Maybe we should shout 'terrorist, terrorist', whenever we see a foreigner in India. Hotels and tourist places should turn them away shouting 'suspicious creature'. The police should arrest them for their skin having no colour. That should teach them how it feels.

Interesting topic. Now talking about racism, it will always exist. As much as we despise this word, it will always remain among us. We have to admit people are different, but we shouldn't take these differences and use them against each other. We should try to harmonize among these different ethnicities and use it as a method to spread peace. Now, I wish every person would understand this, but not everyone has this kind of understanding. So as I said, although unwanted, it will always remain. 😭
