I see this every where I go but Nepali people are incredibly intolerant. I don't know if it is out of plain ignorance but my generation is completly out of hand. We buy into to stereotypes way too easily, and yes there is always some truth behind stereotypes and we can make some cultural assumptions but damn are we flagrantly racist. Even in the sajha posts I see tons of stuff about Hopsi, Madhise, Musalte. In the Middle east those mofos harrass Nepali ppl like crazy, treat them like dirt, even though they are hard working, and we HATE them for it yet at the same time we treat southerners from our own country in the same way. I've seen ppl spit on the Madhise that comes to collect Khali bottle, Kagaj, though he is doing the work that none of us are willing to do and helping us recycle. I myself have been a part of this, when I was younger I used verbally harrass Madhise, Ironic Becuase I am also from the south, but now because i realize how Nepali ppl are treated abroad I understand also the position of the Madhise, and they are mostly not even foreigners . When the 12 Nepali ppl were killed in Iraq I was sooo angry, these poor hard working ppl were killed for no reason, and I agree the manpower offices should have been burrned to the ground, but why did we attack the mosque, the muslims in nepal never did anything to me, yet we went and attacked thier place of worship. Bichara haru been oppressed by the cast system and find thier only way of escape only to be persecuted more. And of course indian bashing is one of our favorite passtimes, and of course i still do it, I've always thought it was some kind of cultural thing that they are vultures, opportunistic back stabbers, but as I've grown older i've come into contact with more and more Indians on a personal level and they seem to be good ppl, for now tho they r just not good enough of ppl to make me change my mind about them especially becasue they have such an opportunity to help Nepal but they wont becuase well...I guess they r kind of racist too.
