I'd like to share my opinion. I know many wont agree.
No one has control over who ur parents are. 2 ppl reproduced n here u are. So how can u say being black, asian, hispanic or white is a bad thing? Ever thought about it? - u could have been black!
Say an American goes to Kathmandu for a visit. The moment he lands at the airport ppl start harassing him. Everyone from the immigration officers to the cops. Gets out of the airport doors n there are taxi drivers fighting amongst themselves to rip him off. The city looks dirty, polluted and over crowded. Tired after a long journey, he goes to a restaurant to get some food. Falls sick the next day of food poisoning and contaminated water. Wants to use the rest room to relieve himself but only sees a hole and no toiler paper. The rest room is filthy beyond belief. Goes for a stroll around Thamel and someone picks his pocket. His run of bad luck continues and things go further south. Anyways at the end he makes it back to the US in one piece.
Now coz of his experience, this man might not have a lot of good things to say about Nepal and Nepalese people. Never the less some day if I run into him and he treats me "racist-ly", I will take exception towards his behavior. It wasn't my fault he had a bad time. All Nepalese are not bad people. Nepal is not a dirty, polluted and over populated place. Kathmandu alone doesn't represent Nepal.
So people, maybe u've had bad experiences with black people. But thats exactly what it is. You have had bad experiences with black people you have met. Doesnt make the rest of em bad too. We take offense when someone shows racist tendencies towards us. We are critical of everyone from professors to employers about how they treat us. Yet we go around saying "Black people are bad!" Sure you have the freedom of sayin whatever u want to, but shouldnt u be saying the right thing?
Mathillo jaat, tallo jaat, chuut, achuut, baun, bhotey, jyapu, damai, kasai: We take exception to these words. Yet we go around saying I hate blacks! Why the double standard?
SAY NO TO RACISM! These words mean something. Please help put them into action. Thank you!
