Vhotee,

She should consider where her heritage comes from and the plight of human right in Afganistan before she start seeing a lice on someone's head. 
-> I see great injustices and corruption inside our country; according to your logic, nepalese don't have right for justice in any other country because there is injustice inside Nepal.

Folks, don't make stories out of stories. The main scenerio - she was not allowed inside a ballroom = discrimination.
-> Please reread the stories. Her main concern is that she was not treated equally as other people. 

Please don't make up things like the as if she was told racial slurs and said, "You're a brown skin Afgan and we hate your race". 
-> So your definition of 'racism' narrows down to only when racials slurs are used and else it doesn't occur? 

Some of you are assuming that is what happened. 
-> I am not assuming anythingelse, I am simply believing the story she told and I don't think she exaggerated it.

All I'm saying is that the story sounds fake and we need to hear both side of the story to come to a conclusion.
- I don't think the story is fake, and yes, both sides need to be heard.

After all, a black president resides and this was a party of liberals.
- So you mean all the race problems are solved only on that. Based on your logic, I should think that women have more "rights" and "respects" in countries like Bangladesh and Pakistan because they had/have women as their premiers and US has none yet.
