This is not dissimilar to Mario Govea lecturing to
Goans how they should handle the issue of caste and
marriage among Goans (which I fully agree). But then
Mario tells us that all four of his kids are married
and likely to marry Caucasians aka white (and a
reference to race which was uncalled for).:=))

Gilbert, rather than accuse you of ignorance,
condescension, and being patronizing and contemptuous
of those who disagree with you, the word confused
seems to apply much better.  You are second to none on
Goanet in distorting and obfuscating an issue, as you
thrash about in your frustrated attempts at making
your obscure points.  

What I have "lectured" on the issue of caste is that
caste exists among Catholic Goans, that it is an
abomination and it is contradictory for Catholics to
follow the caste system, and that it is high time it
was abolished.  Only a confused intellect like yours
can see this as being contradicted by my three (not
four that I know of) kids marrying whomever they chose
to, without regard to caste or community.  My kids
seem to have learned well, they judge people as
individuals, not based on some group they may happen
to belong to by accident.
