NewUser ji, I always tell my dissatisfaction over like these proverbs whoever use them. It starts from my own house. I stand by my understanding that these jokes have to be removed from use. Educated people should be cautious who these words represent and switch these "RASCIST" words to some other or avoid using them publicly. I tried my best, but failed in this case. Let me tell you one story. when i was in japan. One top Yomuri Giant Player used "triangle country: IF ji knows its meaning: SanKokuJin". He said like this "I made a great mistake, and I feel ashamed that I am SanKakuJin". He did not know the literal meaning, how the proverb was derived. It was meant: "Chinese, Taiwanese and Koreans were the three kinds of people, Japanese used to refer as three country people... SanKokuJin". He suddenly got fire from Korean, chinese and Taiwanese communities in Japan. It became a great controversy in the baseball game ....... Finally, the player apologized and told that he did not know the literal meaning that it hints that he was behaving like chinese, korean or taiwanese, .... not behaving like a japanese. So, lets respect these supressed THARS and avoid publicly using these misleading proverbs. That is my intention. If you think you have done nothing wrong, let it be. But, for me the use of GHARTI is objectionable whether you like it or not, provided you are not GHARTI. GHARTI is a respectable THAR in nepal and surely, it was upressed THAR until chandra samsher gave a mukti to them in Amlekh ganj. My own grandmother had one Gharti slave presented by her father and got mukti after Chandra shamsher banned it. They are descent people, their grandsons were my class mates and they were as competent as me. So, I disliked the use of GHARTI in your postings. Thats it. Period. GP
