I agree. There is too much reverse racism and mindless stereotyping that I see around me. All my efforts to separate politicians from the common people has come to naught. Especially that there are so many Indians in the US, why this negative attitude towards the average American? Perhaps most Indians in the US cannot look beyond the Java code in their LCD screens?
Disappointing.
Have you considered apologising for you 'jarhead' comments?
I am not sure if the initial comment was directed at me, I have never demonized white people. Some of my best pals are white. Having said that I abhor American hegemony. I abhor hegemony by any nation and if my own nation were to practice it someday I will fight it.
This has nothing to do with the color of ones skin, though, coincidentally, many of the greatest wrongs that were committed were committed by Caucasians.
In order to ensure that India does not have to go through the shitpile it was dragged through by the British until 1947 and then by the West since then upto 9/11, I strongly believe that we should be wary of any strategic alliance with another country, especially the ones that mistreated us.
This singular reasoning is why I am opinionated on things like ICBM's, thermonuclear warheads, energy security and independence etc. Irrespective of the color of your skin, all threats to my country should be aware of repercussions before messing with us.
Some of the pacifists here keep talking of geopolitics has changed, it keeps evolving, time to forget the past, look at the China threat, look at the future, bla bla bla. The simple truth is, for as long as we as a species have existed, we have been territorial. In order to protect my country's territorial and national integrity we need not and should not trust anyone. We must be self reliant and self sufficient.
All this does not mean go into a shell and act like a horses arse, our nation is vibrant liberal and by nature we are mostly extroverts. We will trade, play sport, travel mix, share our arts and try to peacefully co-exist with other nations and as long as it last, we will cherish it.
