I have many friends whose ancestry is from the south asian sub continent. I find them all to be very nice, intelligent, funny people and i wouldn't ever think anything bad about them. one of my friends told me to go to
www.ratedesi.com and check out some of the preyty gals on the site. I visited and happened to stumble on the forums. i was freaking shocked. the forums contained some of the most ignorant, racist, anti-semetic, anti-black, anti-white, anti-east asian comments (you name it) that i've ever read. you would think you were reading a supremecy website. not to say that there weren't sensible, respectable posters, but the majority of ignorance was just flat out rediculous.
i wondered if a lot of groups, when gathered in large numbers, are as hateful. i went to a few east asian sites, and honestly the comments there were timid compared to the ones on the site mentioned above. i went to a jewish website that is mostly a teen forum and the kids there (most the people on rate desi seem to be of the 18-30 age group) and theywere much more mature and respectful to other faiths and cultures than they were.
what are your opinions on that site? have you ever been in a large group of people of similar backgrounds who were very biased against other groups?
P.S. I am not flaming on Desis. in fact, i think they're very good people. i was just very shocked at what i read on that site.
