I dunno, sounds sketchy. The states should probably just go ahead and free India just in case.

That bit on there about hot sauce stores - are these quite common in US? There's only one in UK, but I was thinking a huge chilli shop in London could really work. Do these places just sell sauce or all things chilli?

(I'm always looking for new business adventures!!!!!)

They have nuclear bombs though right? You can't bomb/free countries that have nukes.

in the words of russell peters: we indians don't blow up airports - we work... AT THE AIRPORT!

On that note I'll also add that I had a fantastic curry for lunch today. Very rare to find a good Indian in Berlin.

What is this making people think about? This is like the thousandth instance of uneducated thugs beating up a brown person since 9/11.

Because it's minority on minority crime. You know that.

Minorities are the most racist of all the racists.

Not in the politically correct mindset of the general populace.

your anecdotal evidence is correct.

[d0zer]

I suspect this "general populace" you speak of doesn't have a good perspective on how they've been influenced by modern "progressivism", and how most other cultures haven't had that same influence, so they don't see a need to mask their latent racism under a facade of political correctness.

You are correct.

I don't think the number of people I've heard of having used lots of hot sauce is statistically significant.

You're such a mug it's boring. You don't live in some horrible politically correct world, stop thinking people have a fucking agenda against you. For the most part they don't and those who do are racist twats themselves.

I don't think you realise what it was like to live in a generation where people weren't politically correct (and they aren't really now either). You really need to get some perspective.

[d0zer]

You are correct.

Where I'm not correct is that in western society, we have actually become somewhat less racist due to the exposure we have to different races. A personal connection with someone of a different race goes a long way to breaking down those "us vs them" walls that act as a foundation for racism. It often takes a couple generations (americans aren't so racist towards the irish & italians anymore), but it seems to happen.

Homogeneous cultures are more ripe breeding grounds for racism.

I thought most Americans were Irish or Italians before they became Americans?

I'm with Galapogos. It's high time we freed somebody new. Maybe Nigeria or Venezuela? India is out of the question because they keep Google up and running.

Life's so hard being a white adult male in western society... Ohh wait

Nah, protestant ftmp. English, German, Dutch, etc. Hell, at certain points in our history, if an official language had been declared, it almost certainly would have been German. Into the 60's there were still sizable ethnically German communities where the defacto langauge spoke was German.

The Irish and the Italians and Jews, in any notable numbers, came much later.
