@ Texasranger,

I am humbled, thank you. :)

@Rethink,

If i said someone is better than me, it does not mean that i am implying that i am bad. If i said someone is superior than me, i am not saying that i am inferior. In fact, you have the complex, that is why you see it that way. The most important part for change is to accept the facts. White people gave the world almost everything that we use today in modern life. Right from electricity to aeroplanes to computers, internet, medicines, etc. Not only that, all white countries take refugees, give aid to poor countries and they have created an egalitarian and meritocratic society where people from all over the world love to flock to. They also created the concept of secularism inspite of being christian in origin. So they have proven themselves as superior. Consider this as a student coming First in class with distinctions. It does not mean the other students are inferior but basically the top student gets the acknowledgement and prize.

My logic is simple. To see whether Nepalese are progressive, I do not look at the NRN, i look at the Nepal. To understand indians, i do not look at NRIs, i look at India. China for chinese and Africa for africans and so on and so forth. Somehow, the potential of citizens of all countries gets maximised when they are in a white country. You know why?. Because when you are in superior company, it motivates you and you learn and you think and you innovate. Thus all credit goes to the White people for creating and sustaining such a system. So i am basically acknowledging this fact.

As for racism, i never said it is good. I said it is a normal part of life. I have no issues if someone frisks me 10 times at the airport. It is for our safety. I do not want political correctness in safety. If someone asks me to go back to my country i will say "ok" and stay on. If everyone started reporting racism to their tiny bits then Sir, we will have a daily encyclopedia to read. Unless your life is filled with racism and you are finding it difficult to survive, just move on. Also if someone is racist towards me and i ignore it, i have become more tolerant. It is good for myself, my anger management. Good for my blood pressure. At the end of the month, i still get paid. And mind you, it is more than many whites would get. hehehehe.
