NRI's facing racism - Page 2

luckily the places i went to none. becoz i went to international schools so multicultural environment. but i did face a little wen i went back to india, all the NRI stuff, i being dumb becoz didn't study in an indian school.as a result didnt get admission. but after a yr in all the schools i took an enterance test i topped n got admission. becoz of that my mother didnt allow my sis to go to inter school.
but i do get offended wen people cant distinguish the country of chinese lookin people n call them chinkis. might be becoz i lived in japan n singapore n hk.

lolz kitty...abt the "chinkis" thing yea tht wrd can b considered derogatory and racist...but as 4distinguishing among thm...i cant..lol they all look similar 2 me...lol itz common 4 ppl frm all race...many pplz have asked me if i was Indian and this applies 2 all other "brown" ppl...jus cuz India is da biggest and most populated "brown" country ppl think all "brown" ppl r indian....thtz y many ppl including myself classify all east asian/oriental ppl as Chinese

I am guilty of not recognising one chinky from the other . Or even one Gora from the other , as in from a European to an American or Chinese ot a Korean or Japanse . That doesn't mean i intentionally try and hurt b. When in doubt "just ask where are you from orignally " . Thats not the racism we are talking about . I have been mistaken 356247 th time for being a 1) Mexican or 2) Latino. Thats not racism, as long as something hurtfull is n't being said.

lol aparna di yea desi is close enuff i dun blame dem but i hae also been mistaken 4 spanish or arab many times...lol its funny and defin8ly not offensiive

hehehheeh that's true. Here so many times peole have come up to me and have asked if I was from Spain, Mexico, even Italy....... 😆

Also, I have seen this among the people in India too. All hilly people are Kashmiri. Others are 'Nepali' 😆. All people from the North East are either 'Bengali' or Manipuri. Everyone from up North is a UP ka bhaiyya, unless he is a Sikh. Everyone in down south is a Madrasi 😆

i think racism can be off all sorts not jus white 2 asian or black to white.....generally everybody thinks racism is o do wih the colour of ur ski...but infact racism occurs even in ppl with the same colour skin....4 example (by the way this is jus an example not meant to offend neone in any way) pakistanis and indians are of he same colour but y do they still hate each other n so much h8 towards each other...or muslims n hindus are u not of the same colour just different religion.....this all is still a form of racism...wat do ppl think??????

ps this is not meant to offend ne1 sowie if i have
