We human being always find a way to see the “difference” and create us/them in the society since the days of Neanderthal. The issue of America is mainly black/white and they have their own fights, rightfully so. But any other race trying to get a free ride making the dumbest excuse does not help to make the matter any better. Us/them has and will always exist. Let us take an example of Africa, not trying to point out the blacks here, just an example of segregation of society regardless of culture.
Sudan with same color skin but with Muslims and Christian is at war. You might say, no brainer, it is because of 2 different religion. OK. Then let us look at Darfur. Same religion, Islam, with arabs and blacks fighting still to this day. You might say, no brainer, they look different facially. OK. How about Rawanda? They have same skin color, same culture, same religion but 2 different tribe. You know the rest of the story.
When people go so far to make the “us/them” society like tribal differences, anciestotial DNA and geographical locations even in a homogeneous society, what makes you think Americans can be called racist for the simplest things.
My observation of Nepali intellectuals that live in America are basically brainwashed with bleeding liberals and their media. When we arrive from Nepal, the chances of a Nepali student attending a university will be in the rural parts of America because of the cheap tuition and lodging. While we do what we can, those places are rampant with ignorant (some racists) americans who do not reflect the overall changing and progressive America. We are shocked after learning racism 101 in college and hence we all tend to sympathize and agree with liberals without accepting the reality that it will happen in every countries, every culture. Statistically, we Nepali are very liberals after we arrive in America, but not exactly back home. It is OK if it happens in Nepal but how dare this happen in America? It’s like a black man going to college in a remote village of Nepal (weird situation), what do you think it will be anything different than what happens here in America in rural places?
If Seema Jilani is an afgan by heritage, then I conclude this lady is a bigot. She just comes of as a socialite who wants to create a drama and write a story about it. She is lucky that she is a white house dinner, but she chosed to find a problem by creating on her own.
