Do desis consider someone a racist if a person says the desi doesnt look caucasian?

[Spacey]

So I am posting in a random thread started by a desi who was asking if desis were caucausians and I just said that I thought half of all Indians look more african than european. Immediately SharpenedMango called me a fascist and a racist.

So do desis consider anyone who says they dont look caucasians as a racist? I was told calling someone african is an insult and is racist. So am I a racist? I really dont understand this concept. :neutral:

This is what he says:

riiiite, im so glad that i dont live in a fascist country because i know whos side u would be on, i dont think u realise friend how inherently racist some of the comments u make are. maybe its ur upbringing or ur surroundings but u deny those thoughts to urself...

i can detect the undertones to ur words, lose the obsession with colour friend

are you desi? u look caucasian?

I don't see how saying that Indians or Desis look more African than European is racist. Its your opinion and as an African-American I'm sure as hell not offended by it. U have your more fair-skinned, Euro-looking Desis and then ones who are either brown-skinned or darker. That's a fact. I used 2 date a Guyanese Indian girl and while she was somewhat fair-skinned she had some people in her family who were "blue-black" as I sometimes say. Really, really dark. Anyway, 2 say that u're racist 4 making a comment about how Indians look African is NOT racist. Furthermore, if anyone considers being called an "African" racist and insulting ... then maybe that person is a closet racist. Enough with the silliness.

lol i feel if some 1 gets offended it's just their insecurities or they don't find that race attractive so it's a insult, could be also your not desi saying it
i don't care 1 way or other, ur entitled to ur opinion, as in india they got some dark ass people to light skin so.

Damn straight! Its really intresting to see how diverse the country is. My own family is an example. My mom is pale as milk, while my dad is dark. I got my uncles looks, and my dads skin.

[mebabysham]

..yea i don't think that saying somebody looks a certain way is being racist. for example, when people say i look desi/philipino/latina.. whatever.. i don't consider it racist or a bad statement. sometimes ppl are wrong, but still its an observation or just someone's opinion.
racism would be "you look like _____, and they suck".

[bad_cheque]

This must be the silly season....what with all these convoluted race threads...these are the kinds that are actually hurting my brain. :mad:

Geezer, bring back religion man

PS: I am just kidding (you know that right?)

We call ourselves desis.....maybe because we are neither African nor Caucasian?????

So basically he got angry at me cuz I made him think: "Damn it! That guy is denying I resemble whites he is calling me an african!".

Now he must care deeply about not being associated with africans to be that angry. Wouldnt that make him a big racist?

Isnt rural areas where 80% of third world people live though, especially the indigenour populations? Usually cities are the places where immigrants and minorities live and the country is where the indiginous majority lives.

So you people are now telling me that the villages in India have completely different looking people than the cities in India do? Whats the reason behind that?

villages are not upto date as cities. they have different setting n everything so its not right to compare city life n village life. poor people cant afford living in a better way so they slightly do look different

How can their features and bodies change so much by moving from a village to a city? And if google isnt a good enough site than show me a site that has better pictorial references of Indians. All I said was I dont think Indians look like Europeans. At least half of them seem to look more like Africans than Europeans.

Yeah ok so I said between 50% to 75% of desis have that look which makes me think more of africa than of europe. I didnt say 100% of desis look like that did I? So if I say half to three quarters of desis have more of an african look than a european look how does that imply that I think you are dark? Are you stupid or what?

[BoO bOo]

have you seen one in real. I GUESS YOU HAVENT.

they aint dark as they seem to be in picture...african ppls skin is way differnt than these ppl.

i'm not an expert by any means, but the pics u posted look like rural areas in the south where not many mixing went on that's why they look so rough and fully australoid, but to the poster there has been so much mixing going on in india, that's why in india there's diversity in looks dark skin/refined features or light skin/wider nose, or light skin/sharp features dark skin/sharp features

I want desis to own up to being hypocrital racists. This booboo girl got furious because I suggested she was not white and I implied she was dark. So she obviously feels like dark people are beneath her. Sounds like the desi caste system to me. So who is the racist now?

Some Punjabis are Hindu. So, do you think Hindu Punjabis look different from Sikh Punjabis and Muslim Punjabis?
most of the punjabis have pointy nose...its rare to see hindus havin that sort of nose. i have seen enough hindus n punjabis in india..you can clearly state if that person is punjabi or hindu. m not talkin bout handfull we see at ur place.

[BoO bOo]

Saying you "look African" doesn't mean you're dark.


If you bleach a black person white, you can still tell they're of African descent by their facial features and hair texture.


If you put them next to a jet-black Desi with fine features and straight hair, most people with common sense would be able to distinguish who's the African.
well he was sayin..desi ppl are dark..he clearly meant that desi are dark when he compared us to africans. :dunnouh:

[BoO bOo]

You are talking about Sikhs. Why are you talking as if all Punjabis are Sikhs?



My step-dad is ethnically Punjabi AND a Hindu.


Confused? Even though my dad is purely Hindu (no inter-marrying with SIkhs), his family was originally from Punjab and their mother tongue is Punjabi. Punjab is a state in India, and the term "Punjabi" is a both a linguistic and ethnic term. It's not a religion.





What are you talking about? My step-dad's family is Punjabi, and I live around mostly Punjabis (Hindus, Sikhs, and Muslims). I know about Punjabi people and what they look like. Don't assume things. :rolleyes:


can we just close this topic?
i said from what i have experienced. it might be differ in punjab coz my family is not from punjab even tho we are sikh.

[BoO bOo]

By the way, pointy noses might be more common in Sikh Punjabis, but a lot of Hindu Punjabis do have big noses. I don't know how to explain the particular shape though......
i like my small nose. :D
