Hey, David,

I am an American of Indian heritage who is as brown as
can be, but no longer an Indian citizen or resident. 
I would be charged the same as you.  It has nothing to
do with RACE and everything to do with your residence.
 Residence in India, Rs. 3,500.  Residence outside
India, Rs. 7,500.

STUPID?  Yes.  UNFAIR?  Certainly.  RACIST?  No.

Same thing in Jamaica, and I'm sure in many other less
developed countries.
