Though they will not utter direct r*cist lines (unlike here on the GoichiNet, a posting Pedro from Mississauga who preferred Brits for neighbors) they display a certain 'they are better than us' message ......... Mario responds: Hey, Pandu, why don't you can and brand your chorisam and sell them over the internet, yaar. Perhaps in vacuum sealed aluminum packages. I'm sure you will be able to find a Gujarati businessman in Kanada to help you. They make and export excellent Indian food from up there. FYI, the Goichis south of your Kanadese border are just the opposite. Down here in "southern North Amreika" they display a "we are better then them" message, and with good reason:-)) Is this "racism" or just "racial". To become "racism" doesn't one have to acts upon it in one's interpersonal relationships or to harm someone, simply because of their race? BTW, is "racism" different in how it works than "casteism"? Pandu wrote: This observation ain't mine but a learned old Gujrathi businessman: he thinks we brown folks have the inferiority complex and therefore, they often fear the Anglo-Saxon here in North Amreika... Mario responds: Pandu, send him down here and I will introduce him to several learned old and young Gujarati businessmen who have such a superiority complex that they own more than half the hotels - including major franchises - and gas stations and convenience stores in "southern North Amreika" and have thousands of Anglo-Saxons and others who work for them. In another generation they may own half of "southern North Amreika":-)) Pandu wrote: Lastly, in Kanada (where I run a seasonal chooris-pau business) there is a subtle r*cism and a plenty of reverse r*cism (example, orientals are not trusting of the Afr*can-**** community). Phew. Mario asks: Are you telling us that Kanada is a racist country? Some of the other Kanadese Goanetters have been telling us that Kanada is one step this side of heaven:-))
