Exactly Gothnation..whats the point? I stood up for myself because someone was accusing me of being racist. I think I have said loud and clear how I am not. Captain Haddock, you are obviously having hard time getting over your own prejudices that just looking at someone and thinking where they could be from always results in NEGATIVE feelings. Just because I see a non-nepali face doesnt mean I am thinking bad things about them or their country. As for bending this thread to validate your own rantings and preconviction about how I might think, I think its just not worth it. Just to point out how contradictory your thoughts are, this is what you said: I said: I guess everyone looks at a person's face and makes up their mind about where they could be from." You said: That doesn't mean it's right. Isn't that the dictionay definition of prejudice? I said: "Does that make you a 'racist'? " This is your response: No, not you personally , but it makes the statement racist and reflects a shallowness of thought that I find quite appalling. Your convictions that just coz i say someone looks or doesnt look nepali, I become a racist. And I would like to say that I find such shallowness of thought quite applalling.
