In GOA there are two kinds of people. There are GOANS and there are THOSE who wanna' be GOANS. Then there are Goans from Goa in every part of the world and and there are Goans in every part of the world who have elected themselves to be called Goans after coming to the west. For lack of a better word, whenever one gets a job within the continental United States like Seven Elven, Patel Brothers, India Shop,or any India Aborad shops or company an individual has to fill up something called as OPTIONAL AMERICAN IDENTITY FORM to IDENTIFY your race with the Federal Register called E.E.O.C. The EEOC form has a RACE column: Wherever that form travels is not my business. Some forms read such as: WHITE: BLACK: LATIN AMERICAN CAUCASIAN: ASIAN: SOUTH EAST ASIAN: MIDDLE EATSRERN? GOON? GOAN? And may be sometime in the near FUTURE after the remanants of the middle east is all tied and done we will have arisen up to be barbarians. My skin emanates BROWN PIGMENT and once you come closer to my being it radiates my INDIAN CUISINE NOT GOAN or GOON IDENTITY. I eat NIXTEY and KODDI ani SHAQ-BHAJI with DAl then I know I am a real ASLI-DESI. Sometime I enjoy eating Feijoada, CHURASQUO, Asad con Carne, COXINHA, PASTEL, RISOLES, KIBE, and other BRAZILIAN SALGADINHAS that my wife prepares on a regular basis as a family. I was born in GOA, growing up my AVO prepared daily XIT-KODI, AMBOT-TIK, AMCHI BHAJI, SANNA'a, and sometime VOTANNIACHIO BHAJI with BHAKRI ani KAL-CHI KODDI for SORRAK. I was a GOAN in GOA because of what my geneaology came up with. In the west I am identified as a SOUTH EAST ASIAN or INDIAN among the Latin American Populace I am know as " Mira? Tu Es "H-INDU? BTW everyone on this list I am not getting paid to take Berna Cruz to Capitol Hill? Cheers Edgar Furtado Boston. MA __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
