Rai, My Girlfriend is a Rai and im a Bahun. My girlfriend thinks that Mongoloids and newars are much more civilized and hip than chetries and bahuns, and she told me that she had never imagined to be with a bahun ever before. I think thats a reverse racism but i love the gurl so i disregard those comments. But the thing is, racism is from all sides. Every race will show there racist sides when they are on the top of the things. One more thing, about 25 years ago my dad was transfered to Bhaktpur and i was the only nepali speaking kid in the school. meaning the only " bahun" u would not believe what a rough junior school i had with those newars kids at school. I think i made my point. I dont think u were actually a second class citizen in nepal. May be u were second class when u were around other races at places. But im sure in ur own place lke bhojpur and panchthar u were the first class citizen and the rest were second class citizens.
