Just because one dude's family eats meat doesn't mean all of Indians and Hindus eat meat. Brush up on some of your cultural studies before making generalizations. If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions?

well several things about your reply...technically that's not racism, i guess it'd be more countryism...i have nothing against eastern indians as a race or a culture...they're living life like everyone else, and have an amazing culture...however...i won't be travelling anywhere outside of the states as an american anytime soon...i do watch the news, and it would seem most of the world is not fond of america, and i really wouldn't expect a warm welcoming, like apple barrels, a few have ruined the bunch.

Sorry deary, your post was racist and very uninformed. If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions?

Billy the Kidd, let me see if I understand this correctly. You have travelled the entirety of the country India? You have encountered the stark contrast between Northen and Southern influences? You have visited and lived the ways they do in Tamil Nadul, which by the way is predominantly vegetarian. You have seen with your very eyes that the far North is very influenced by its neighbour Pakistan and the cuisine includes just about any meat you can imagine. You know firsthand that the country India is made up of 25 states and 7 territories, with 18 major languages, 1600 minor ones. And there are 7 major religions, each dictating what the diet would be like.
You don't have a clue about Hinduism and until you do rather refrain from proclaiming you know about every culture under the sun. Just because you have a couple of Westernized Indians, i.e. they live in the West, does not mean that they represent the entire diversity of India. You stil generalize but you fail to see this. You think you know, but you don't. And from encountering your other posts on DF I would say you have all the world's different cultures in your backyard, because you're friends with all of them and that needless to say makes you an expert on everything.
What a joke. If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions?

LOL, so in other words the truth is what you read, you dont know any Indians, you dont really spend time asking them what India is like, you dont go to Indian resturaunts, you dont really know anything aside form the crap you learned in school?
LOL and then you accuse ME of speaking for them? LOL go talk toa few Indians before you presume to lecture me with your inane bullshit. | |

Youre no better than the Asia-fetishist who thinks that chinese people all wear triangular bamboo hats and know martial arts. Because you read about it one time.. go get a REAL education. | |

real education mean meeting as couple of indians.. period. Not assuming because you read in some book that theyre all wearing flowing robes of silk with a dot on thier head, peace loving hindus.
I hear the same argument about Chinese or Japanese people..
they are all great at math, family oriented, male dominated places, they all wear conservative clothes and know martial arts..every single one of them knows how to cook.. its nonsense....
meet some of the people before speaking about them. To date i have over 20 Indian friends and 3 Pakistani ones. these are just personal friends of mine from college or highschool.. im not even counting the ones ive worked with, or the ones my friends know.

Billy, you cannot speak for an entire nation, with diverse religions and languages and customs and dietary needs by knowing one Indian man who's married a friend of yours.
Sorry buddy, you know zero, sweet blue all. Until you've either travelled the country, or did interviews with Indians living IN India stop blowing smoke out your ass, because you don't have a clue. You haven't the foggiest about Hinduism, because you'd know that one singular Indian does not represent an entire nationality, especially one as diverse as Inida. Religion dictates diet, get it? Do some reading before you blow your chest out in a vain attempt of psuedo intellectual bullshit.
If you meet one Indian does that mean you know all there is to know about India? And if you say it does then dear god what a waste of time your poor brain is. Try putting it to some use next time. If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions?

Which Hindus are these? The ones I've talked to about their religion never mentioned anything about associating swatted spiders with their dead great-aunt. | |
