racism exists, big time. no doubt about that but u just said u will marry "podes" and "kamis". they are the so-called "untouchables" and nothing boils my blood more than this term. butttt no matter how i feel, my family wont' be happy if i marry one. and that is the truth. may be things will begin to change in a good decade or so, but for now, our soceity, even in capital, frowns at the thougth of "untouchables". so are you implying now that your mother will not mind at all if you bring home an "untouchable"? u must have a very very liberal family, if that is the case.
