Arjun #120 shut up with your nonsense generalizations


You generalize all white people as racist and you're saying I'm bad for generalizing?

When those "other people" are determining life and death matters over the vast majority of humanity and defining global worth based upon which life chances are handed out you bet your hairy behind, I'll concern myself with it...

Shankar writes "in the 26 yrs of living in the us, i have never personally experienced discrimination here.."

Of course you don't because even if the white man kills your nation or sh*** on you, you'll bless him and think its rose perfume, that's the nature of an enslaved mind. All social aggregate indicators suggest a US rife with institutional racism as a result of which all surveys that measure personal racism show a high degree of it as well.., the white man's prejudice messed up the world the petty jealousies of Asian on Asian, even though deplorable have had no similar global consequence.

Arjun #120 shut up with your nonsense generalizations, my post has nothing to do with myself being discriminated against it is about all people of color and how the white man treats them as fact even though the diplomacy and fakery surrounding that treatment is all fun fun and joy joy...

mr masadi,
in the 26 yrs of living in the us, i have never personally experienced discrimination here. My 22 yr old daughter has never experiened discrimination throughout her life (& she was the only brown kid in a 98% white school.

I would argue I have experienced much more discrimination in India.

Prejudice is a human vice, not confined to the US. I will argue there is more virulent prejudice among Asians in Asia.

So,once in a while when you fart, try blaming someone other than the US for giving you gas.

funny how pakis, who can never shut up about how their perceived fairness makes them superior, whine about being discriminated against.

In addition to #113, by the way, immigration policies in the US have always been anti people of color, and the vast majority of the white folk are anti-immigrant and the picture that comes to their minds when you talk of immigrant is of a person of color not the white Europeans. These are from well documented studies on immigration not only to the US but from data from European countries as well, the behavior of the immigrant who has "made it" to those lands has nothing to do with the difficulty of obtaining a visa, this was just a misplaced excuse by tahmed to hide the racist policies of the Western elite...

Uncle, what do you think I am, one of those crisp Rs 5000 bills you hand out on Eid but somehow managed to bypass me?

tahmed writes "Only a total duffer like you would think that I have a problem with the color of my skin."

Only a total duffer like you would conclude after reading my post that it was about YOU caring about the color of your skin. The white man considers people of color inferior, regardless of trying to get a tan, and by the way, even with the darkest tan he will still consider himself/herself whiter than you

then he writes "And your trademark personal insults cannot hide the weakness of your argument."

There were no personal insults except the obvious statement of you being a peon of the West- a badge you wear with honor defacto- but now hide behind the "insult" excuse because you cannot answer the argument; regarding my argument, it is anything but weak, this ghetto we call Pakistan as well as the Harlem ghetto is maintained by the policies of the elite in the West, our country is sovereign in name only- that is the fact and it is no weak argument, the other fact is that those elite consider the entire world their playing field and is the case within their country they have relegated people of color to ghettos- in fact Pakistan is even more subservient to the US elite than many of the internal states of the US, defacto when you live in Pakistan you are actually living in a US dominated banana republic, in other words defacto part of the US both politically and economically... and life (even though that was not my argument and only total duffers and deceivers like you can conclude thus) in the US viz-a-viz Pakistan is quite similar depending on the socioeconomic class of the person, for the deprived, most of which happen to be people of color in the US, it is equally miserable...

Gill Sahib,

In answer to your question, an observation from several

years ago still remains valid:

"What is the alternative?"

Ras

arjun: You seem to have trouble understanding plain english - I referred to you as a "muslim hater", which is based on your years of service on chowk, and you understand that to mean that you are a "hateful" person.

hamidm is willing to trade masadi and romair for you, and thus is obviously a lousy dealer. I wouldnt offer one wild monkey hopping on trees in Margalla Hills in exchange for a specimen like you.

masadi: i am not insulted by your calling me "people of color". I am in fact very pleased with the color of my skin. White guys try desperately to match this color, spending long hours under the sun, risking their lives with skin cancer, paying exorbitant sums for tanning salons. All for a few short days of the privilege to match my skin color.

Only a total duffer like you would think that I have a problem with the color of my skin.

As for Pindi, Islamabad being just like the US...this is only part in your post where you have tried to argue the substance of what I wrote in #106. And your trademark personal insults cannot hide the weakness of your argument. )nly a rare dud like you would put forward the n argument that immigration restrictions are not a problem for millions of youth in Pakistan because life in Pindi, Islamabad are just like the US!!

Only muslim-haters (read arjuns posts gloating about the low popularity of the US in Pakistan)


yes prophetboy...pointing out that osama is popular in pureland makes me hateful...the 40%+ pakis who have a favorable opinion of osama? they're just victims of my postings on chowk.com.
