Sajha Addiction and Racism

Hello everyone, It has been quite a while that I am visiting sajha. Initially I found sajha as a place where I can meet Nepalese from different backgrounds, age, location and most of it, expressing themselves annonimously. There are सभ्य शालिन threads like Chautari and there are threads against some person, eg. Bhagat. There are threads of confessions, threads of information and what not. अनेकताको एकता छ साझामा। Because of these varied topics and large number of members, the threads roll pretty fast. This thing attacted me at first. But now, it has become an addiction. बिहान उठ्यो, पहिलो कुरा नै साझा, दिनभरि पनि साझा, सुत्नु अघि पनि साझा। समय नै साझामय भएको छ। It looks like it is very difficult to get away from sajha. But, Due to these large number of threads with racial discrimination, I have started to grow racist feeling in me. May be I had some racially discriminatory feeling inside me but sajha has definitely helped to worsen it. A sober reader of one time I cannot help myself from trying to defend, which in turn exacerbates the discriminatory feelings. Does anyone of you also have such feeling? Is it good to talk about racial discrimination? Have the threads like in sajha made u more conscious about your race/caste/ethnicity? Have such threads ever made u think to find a better reason to defend yourself, which in turn makes u conscious of the discrimination and instigates hatred in your otherwise cool mind? Its a human nature that one tries to defend himself and his kind whenever needed. Is it proper to generalize and tag somebody as extremist? or force somebody to extremism? I do not want to be but.... errrr. .. .need help.
