I wouldn't say Nepalese are the most racist people in the world. Nepal being a predominately Hindi society, people just didn't choose to be racist. It has its deep history of caste system which was infused into the society a very long time ago...the days of Rig Veda. Racism in US is based mainly on color of skin while racism in Nepal is based on caste system. Hinduism doesn't preach caste system. Caste System is the greatest curse on Hinduism. Hindus should do what Christians did. Even though slavery is mentioned and accepted as a practice in the Holy Bible, even though during Civil war many such as Jefferson Davis quoted from the Bible to support slavery, Christians took it upon their chin and eliminated slavery completely. But although slavery has become illegal in US, and the society has progressed in terms of education, technology & wealth, racism based on color is still prevalent today. As more & more people in Nepal get educated, rise up from poverty, inter-caste marriages, learn more about their religion, people will & have begun to re-think the evils of caste system. I sincerely pray and hope, caste system eventually will go away, making it a relic of the history. I guess we as a society need to change our own minds & teach our children that caste system is old schoolz thought. If we can do this, then we will have eliminated the greatest curse & evil that has inflicted our society.
