Re: Why are we desis so racist?
chacha, the challenge is that desis who dont like blacks do it because of stereotypes…stereotypes are the basic building blocks of justification of prejudism in people’s minds. so when we stereotype desis as being racist, and then inquire about the reasons of their ‘racism’ we are committing he exact same mistake that the desis whom we are blasting are making..i.e. ill formed stereotypes.
That was the entire point. goal was not to sharmindah anyone. In a way the exercise just showed why we have issues with prejudice…because we harbor those based on sterotypical images we form in our head and then see those as divine truths, as is the case here were desis en lage are blamed of being racist.
