I don't remember whether the phrase was coined here
or over on a.m.t., but at some point during a discussion
of the caste system, someone suggested that Maharishi
might have a problem "classifying" his Western students,
much less other Westerners, because they can't be 
Brahmins and they aren't officially Sudras or anything
in between.  So the poster suggested that he thought of
all Westerners as "barbarians with cash."

I laughed at the time, and still do now, but it's got
the ring of truth about it, doesn't it?
