Re: # 70

What ``desi pride``?... there is no such thing called ``desi pride``... all I am saying is - I am fine with being brown, with all the negatives goes with it... white race may be better than my race - so what?... that doesn`t mean I need/want to switch my race... I mean - given an option, would you switch your parents for ``better`` ones?... it`s that simple.... it has nothing to do with any ``pride``...

Yeah, yeah, we all know about desi pride and all that BS, even if it means giving up on being a C level exec in a corporation or bedding beautiful blondes. Now you will say that all that is possible being a desi, except that the probability is a hundredth as compared to being a white.

Anyway, speaking of racial transformation, here is a joke for u -

A young, hot, blonde guy finds a magic lamp. Upon rubbing it a genie appears. The genie gives him 3 wishes.

First the blond guy asks for ten million dollars and gets it. Then he asks for a beautiful blond girlfriend and he gets that too. Now he is totally confused about what else to ask for.

Finally he says, ``I am a Mechanical Engineering undergrad student and want a 4.0 GPA``. The genie says - ``Done!!``. And the blonde guy turns into a chinese. :-)

sri #66 human beings are notable for their lack of diversity biologically speaking. to the extent it exists, genetic diversity is in fact greatest among africans. as for beauty - ``Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air”.

That smelly, fly infested, beggar woman with limbs grotesquely enlarged from elephantisis begging for a kenyan shilling could, under different circumstances, have been a beautiful phd scientist whom would even charm the socks of even a hamidm. Nothing in her genes has to do with the condition she is in.

I don`t know... Hamidm, for sure, will be the first one to sign up... I will never do, I am fine with my brown skin, warts and all... :)

I remain ignorant of how Duane Reade relates to my post....even googling will not help me pretend I am not ignorant on that one, so please help.... :-(

`` you should go to Alabama and see ``white heaven`` up close and personal, the missing teeth and incest warm your heart really ``

That`s nitpicking man. Surely you don`t mean just because some rural american white are heavily inbred retards all white people are ugly. It is ``universally`` well known and accepted that inbreeding leads to ugliness. So no argument there.

The genetic diversity among white people is simply mind boggling. Starting from red-head Celtic to dark haired Mediterranian, you will find all kinds of hair, eyes and textures. And that is the kind of mix you will see in American cities.

[...but I am not exactly in awe with whiteman`s skin color... white is just another color... :)...]

Mohar, if there is ever an option for desis to change their race to white, how many desis will sign up? How many will sign up in the other direction? I rest my case (and hamidm`s case)...

Re: # 63

true - there is always a fascination with what each of us consider as ``exotic``...

Hamidm seems to be really bad case of ``colonial`` hangover... his obsession with white skin just doesn`t make sense... I mean - hey, I appreciate white man for all his accomplishments and what not - but I am not exactly in awe with whiteman`s skin color... white is just another color... :)

My observation is that opposites attract.........as verified by Paula Abdul’s song of early 90s.

I have seen white men drooling over oriental girls, white men drooling over Indian girls, Indian men drooling over white girls, African men drooling over white and oriental girls, and Latin men drooling over any thing that resembles a female.

As Thomas Friedman has promised us that world is becoming flatter in terms of opportunities for becoming successful, I suspect that remnants of colonial slavery like Hamidm are a dying breed. As economic success around the world makes backward caste people like Sri realize that material riches are not the exclusive domain of whites, they too will start taking pride in who they are....

It is a side effect of colonialism that associated in our minds that whiteness is associated with riches and power.... In this day and age, movies like James Bond 007 continue to reinforce this idea in our minds that only a white man has the intelligence, quick thinking, and spice in his personality to play with a girl`s heart and enemy`s dead body at the same time. Why is it that 007 character, where as diverse people as Sean Conrey and Daniel Craig have played that role, no black man has ever been offered that role?

But the day a black lead actor will play 007 is not very far. Until then, let hamidm be hamidm.

Hamidm

Malik99 has a point... :)... looks like you are trying to be more loyal than the king... whites themselves love to get a brown skin which is why they so hanker after getting tans - even at the risk of skin cancer and what not... and here you are waxing lyrical on white skin... :)

Michale jackosn was crazy - so are you... nothing is more beautiful than the brown/dark skin... Halley Berry beats evey white woman hands down... :)

Get over it dude - you are one confused macaca...

Re: # 41

tahmed unkil,

because working at duane reade`s calls for the utmost decorum? After eight hours of working with us, entitled Americans who bumrush every newly opened register, have intricately detailed explanations of why we havent returned product A until 10 months after we purchased it, doddering old women who have 10 coupons and decide they dont want 11 of B product because...whatever the heck the reason is, whiny toddlers knocking boxes of eye cream over (i made my nephew pick up the boxes and put them back)...if I were working at a Duane Reade, you`d better hope I was doing whatever I could to not hang myself.....

Re: # 58

great harem meaning harems that contained hundreds of women in dehumanizing sexual servitude to one extremely rich male (eye roll)

and great civilization meaning fully developed in arts, sciences, literacy, socio-economic and political organization. Egypt is a case in point.

Re: # 43

may i point out that the great harems of the zoroastrian and middle east valued beauty in the full spectrum of hue-especially when women were valued for beauty, proficiency in court arts and the ability to reproduce male heirs. You need only to look at the great civilizations of Egypt, Mali, Songhai and Timbuktu to know that African women were valued in their cultures as the zenith of beauty, regardless of European conceptions of beauty.

Can you or would you want to imagine Naomi Campbell even a shade lighter?

Re: # 55

sri,

......... i know exactly what you are talking about ..... there ARE some, but very very few, south indians and even africans who are quite attractive - but an exception does not make the rule ........... iman, nandita and aishwariya are freaks of nature but anybody who goes looking for beauty in kerala or somalia is a fool - the chances are better in sweden ..........

....... and please accept my sincere sympathies for the condition you were born into ......... make sure that you marry a fair high-caste woman so that your children will be spared the ignominy ......... good luck
