Re: Racial category
^^ Being EAST INDIAN by race does not imply that you are INDIAN by nationality.. you dont have to confuse your race with your hatred for India... Also.. 'Pakistani' is not a race.
I don't hate India. I simply said I am not an Indian.
'Indian' is no more a race than 'Pakistani', 'Indian' is just a nationality.
Here in Britian we say South-Asian or South-Asia.
If some Americans think everyone from South-Asia is an "east-Indian" or whatever then that's because they're ignorant, they don't know the world beyond Mcdonalds, CNN and beer. Sameway White ppl over here call Indians and Bengalis as "Pakis".
