I am proud to be Nepali and always will be. However, I disagree with Kalopani in regards to categorizing us (other than so-called Americans i.e. Whites/Blacks) as foreigner. Yes, it is true some treat the people with color other than white as foreigner and stare at. But those people who expose such behavior have a little knowledge of their own history that how America was originated, where their ancestors came from, and what did they do with the Cherokee Indians. Moreover, why did they have to honor American Indians as indegenious citizens of the country later in a time.

Americans Black/White, who prefer to call me as a foreigner, I always ask them a question that how their ancestor came to America as a "foreigner" or "immigrant" from all part of Europe and Africa. Aren't they foreigner by nature? If a "foreigner" tag goes away just because of being born on the American soil, why should they go by different family name? Why don't they put "American" at the end of their name? e.g. Bob American, John American, etc. etc.

I don't beleive Majority of American look at the thing the way Kalopani thinks. I have seen many American agreeing with me who know of their own History.

Change is change itself. Barack Obama is the first step in making history. It is not the end in making history in America. It is just the beginning. No, race, color, or background gonna matter to draw people on your side. It is the person's persuasive thoughts that can clearly address the need of people.

And I don't think we Nepalese fled the country because of our greed and couldn't fix our own home. Isn't it true that we are financially helping our family, relatives back home? When your home-roof is leaking and don't have your own resources to fix it on your own, what are you gonna do? Your first thought gonna be to arrange the resources so your family can leave better. Isn't that true? Do you define that as a greed?

I think, the definition of greed is you want more when you already have plenty.

Thanks.
