Hi Tony,
In a way you are right and in many ways you may be wrong.
Whatever age bracket you belong to, I suppose you wrote what you wrote
through life experience.
Hope (if you are married) your children (if you have and when they grow)
will not push out of the next to procure Portuguese identity and/or go
overseas.
Do let us know if any of your relatives have migrated.
Happy New Year 2011.
Oscar C. Lobo

From: Tony de Sa
What I object to most strongly is the stereotyping of Indians as "Filthy".
Today, in Mapusa, I saw a white - meaning ethnic Caucasian - and he was
filthy as ever, dressed in dirty clothes, hair clearly unwashed for
ages, skin full of accumulated dirt.
People in Europe do not bathe for long periods of time. I have first
hand accounts of this.
Could I stereotype all Caucasians as filthy on the basis of this?
