Anne,

Appreciate the support, I mean, it, really.

Beautifool,

We were just trying to get our point across, we both were right in our own point of view, no apologies necessary my friend.

As I read through this thread again, I realized I am getting increasingly confused because I support the thoughts of both Vhootee and Vivant and cannot say for sure who is more correct. With that being said, I do not like the idea of enduring racism. Just because it happened in the past, in our nation and just because we are in a foreign land and are indebted to it doesn’t mean that we need to keep our eyes close and pretend nothing is happening.

My only point is, was it wise of Seema to post that article and cry wolf only because few security personnel hurled racial gestures her way? Maybe not, but she has all right to be displeased about that entire situation. I agree it is not a movie theater, but then that wasn’t the point at all, the point was, almost every Caucasian people were allowed to enter without their tickets being checked while our dear Asian woman was held being taunted, and quite honestly, Seema wasn't doing a root cause analysis waiting for her husband.

Vhootee had an excellent point on how Nepalese become bleeding liberals the moment the land in US. I do not disagree with that, especially when I see some ‘rappers’ in sajha copying afro culture, sympathizing them yet cannot stand a single madhesi selling apples at Bhotahiti. I am a staunch liberal too and I had always been that way, even when I was back home. But I believe the reason majority of foreigners adhere to liberal beliefs is because conservatives, in majority (when I say this, I do not mean republicans and I do not mean100% of conservatives) still believe in American heydays 100 years ago where every Mexican was a wetback, every African a n!gger and every oriental a yellow man and how they believe in killing thy neighbor with a shotgun if they intrude their house in the middle of the night (even during emergency). They might never say so explicitly but believing in conservative beliefs does mean they do not want any foreign intervention and we are aren’t only speaking of war. You can challenge me all day long, but I live in the south, and even though I have made great friends here, every single day I come across someone addressing Obama with N word and how proud they are of their white supremacy.

But here is the difference, unlike Jilani, I never would take this to the media, that would make me look like I am in a lone battle with whites. But then since I wasn’t there I do not know how badly she was taunted.

I tried not to comment on texasranger’s post considering his tone but couldn’t help it, before pointing fingers on Muslims (again, there is a difference between muslims and muslim extremists) you need to know the history in detail, do you know what happened in Palestine? And quite honestly, I do not think this nation was only made by whites, America is a land of immigrants, unlike Nepal. And the reason this nation is so great is because it is made great by everyone’s collective efforts. The reason I live here is because I franchise my rights and freedom of speech, something I could never do during monarchy in Nepal and I came here because I thought that there would not be any racist people like my grandparents. Now if you want me to endure the same thing I did back home, would that be a right call?

I would like to know what you would have done if you were in Jilani’s shoes Texasranger?
