Re: # 70

And speaking of being an executive and bedding a blonde - I can be brown and still be an executive, just as numerous desis have been... and I have no fascination for blondes... like I said - halley berry beats every white woman hands down... :).... seriously, personally - I have always found desi women much more desirable than any other... in terms of color, beauty and personality... :)

that`s just me... now, you and hamidm go along and get blondes for yourselves...

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``...

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.

saminasha: the things one learns at chowk!! i had to google to find out what this ``Duane Reade`` so I could reply without seeming ignorant. So, I see it is a pharmacy store. 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.

Re:mohar

[...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: # 65
[...if there is ever an option for desis to change their race to white, how many desis will sign up?...]

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... :)

... what about you?... you signing up?

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.

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... :)

I am in two minds about the concept of beauty. For example, someone here mentioned about Nandita das.. I find her very beautiful too. On the other hand, I see these goras and I feel... ohmigod, am I in heaven or something...

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

I am from a south indian backward caste background.

So as people can imagine, I look brown in the morning but by evening I look dark. My american colleagues on the other hand, look fresh as ever... I honestly feel these goras don`t even need to take shower every morning ( and sometimes I had that doubt also ).

I used to use fair & lovely on myself when I was India but stopped it after coming here.

in #50, to explain why certainty is bad for you: nothing you come across in life is certain except death and taxes. and they are working on that too.

#49 malik: confusion, by replacing certainty, is the first step towards enlightenment. :-)
