zzracer- Are your "many Indian friends" from New Brunswick, Iselin, and Edison aware that you look at their people and their families as "ratty"? Are your so called "Indian friends" aware that you " do not want to live next to them"? Are your " Indian friends" aware of how you view them as neighbors?

Yes, you are not racist. You just happen NOT to like Indians. Are your "Indian friends" aware of this ?

Yeah right, thats why you send out a PM to me calling me "a scum and an ass". Way to go!!!. As others have pointed out repeatedly in this thread, your posts smack of being racist and this is not the first post you have, bashing Asian Indians.

Many times you will see neighbors who are different than you, and assume they are not talking to you because they are "clannish" or whatever. However, if you take the time to break the ice, you will usually find that they are very happy to talk to you. A lot of it is just plain shyness. Once the ice is broken, they will invite you over for a barbeque. Try it.

I really didn't want to touch this thread (as a matter of fact, the first time I saw it, I misread your name as "zzracist". Sorry about that, my eyes aren't as good as they used to be).

But maybe this is a question you should have posed to those friends, in private, rather than going public with what could be construed as a very sensitive subject. Are you truly surprised with how this is turning out?

I just want to thank all of you who have destroyed this thread good job! Your right for saying I should have gone private on this because then I wouldnt have had to put up people who think they can call anyone a racist when I have Indian friends. I know and im good friends with many and for those who dont believe, well i dont care. Yes they know what I think about some of the Indians around Middlesex who look "ratty" because theyeven agree. Maybe for those of you think I'm racist should actually have checked with some Indians yourself because belive it or not they say the same things. Yes I am truly surprised how this is turning out because I never thought so many people would jump up and sream racism when its really not.

zzracer.

Don't pay anymind. Alot of people on here will respond if anything and I mean anything is said about their particular ethnic group. Especially Asians. Gee, I wonder if Asians like to surf social web sites alot? Pfft.. Actually, some of these geeks have multiple I.D.'s on this forum and will give the illusion that you are being ganged up on. It's a propaganda mish-mash. Listen to how they think and you will see that saving face means life/death to these people. They have no problem with attacking OTHER groups though, white or not.

Don't fall for it.

do you know that most of the asian indians here are earning more than 90k because of their education...... you are better off staying near them, than the drug addicts and terrorists who tried to blew up time square this spring.

Not racist...merely curious....particularly curious....really curious.....seriously curious.....outwardly curious.....anything but racist.....and then how can you miss the fact that he has a lot of indian friends who agree with his opinion. So doesnt that absolve him of his opinion. He discussed it with his indian friends and then logged into the forum to confirm if him and his friends are spot on. You guys just spoilt his party!!!!

You didn't start off with "some". You started off with a sweeping generalization that negatively characterized a particular ethnicity. That's pretty much a textbook definition of "racism". I don't know what the heck you'd think racism is otherwise.

And when it's just "some", it doesn't matter than they're Indians. That fact would be irrelevant.
