South Asian Film Festival in Goa from Fri (June 27) to Mon (June 30) At Kala Academy, and ESG, Panaji, Goa http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2008-June/076384.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a comment [1] that came in via my blog [2]. Wonder what you think of it. It pertains to the otherwise interesting Indiamike[3]. What it said was: nastyradha said, on June 24th, 2008 at 11:55 pm indiamike is a racist website. it will allow anything said by foreigners for india but wont let an indian say what he wants.me and my friends wanted to discuss topics relating to how women should wear in order to be comfortable while travelling and not attract too much attention. besides india gets too many junkie travellers who are here only to do drugs without caring about anything else. they banned us for 2 weeks saying that our topics were racist,insulting and sexist. on the contrary ,they allowed any discussions relating to male attraction based on white colour and indian male mentality and even females asking to dye their hair from blonde and redhead to black "coz they felt it would attract too much attention and make life miserable for them". and they didn't make our banning public..the administrators just send us a private message giving this reason for banning.if they had courage, they should have posted below our post what their objections were and that would be respectful for both me and my friends and that would let all members see what our mistake was. i hate such double minded inferiority complex suffering whackos!!!
