Eish............ I’ve been reading the posts.....let me first get it out there that I am an Indian, and I believe a mountain has been made out of a mole hole here.
Yes the guy may have been out of line, but I do not believe that he had any ill intentions and well done to him for apologizing to the offended members.
I know that not one Indian person here on the forum can say that that they have not used some sort of racial stereo typing against their own race or another whether it be in a joking, sarcastic etc manner (he who has not sinned cast the first stone), we can watch Russell Peter, Trevor Noah etc and have a good old laugh at the many cultures and race groups even our own, oh but beware if you do the same and you are not a comedian by profession. Where is the sense in that?
It seems to be acceptable when people of the same race to use racial stereo typing or racist remarks within their own race groups because of the understanding of the culture, use hip hop culture as an example. The great poet of our generation Tupac once said that people of his race group need the start respecting each other before things can change.
Look at my thread
http://www.bmwfanatics.co.za/showthread.php?tid=37778 were I recently sold a Black berry to a forum member there are quite a few racial stereo typing comments there , about 2 pages worth, but it’s okay……………..why because they were all Indians posting comments .
So where do you draw the line.
