"I am just observing what I see. If you find what I said insulting, I am at a loss for words." - Jim Flanegin, yesterday Do some reading, people...this non-event is being written up EVEN IN INDIA as the work of Hindu Supremicist groups, and the word "racism" as a reason for all this hubbub comes up in those accounts rather often. Not all Indians are this stupid and this elitist and this bigoted, but it appears that those who chose to make a big deal of this *are*. And those who defend their actions are, in my opinion, in agreement with their elitist tendencies and, if karma worked the way it should, would probably end up sharing the same shit sandwich in hell with them. I'm just fed up with idiots who defend Things Indian just because they're Indian. I've met and worked with and for a fairly large number of upper-caste Hindus in my life, and although I have met a few nice individuals among them, as a group i would have to class them as far more racist and elitist than rabid White Supremicists I've met in the U.S. My point is that there are idiots everywhere. In this case, in India. And, it would seem, on FFL.
