Subject: RE: BS: A shocking tale of blatant racism
I'd love to know lf there is a ANY place in the world where there are people of different races and ethnicities and there is no racism or bias.
And what makes it worse, people who are targeted also target their own. I am speaking here of people of African descent in the USA, and the Caribbean favoring those whose skins are lighter, and at the same time also giving those who are light skinned difficult times on a personal level.
But I wonder if the same in-fighting occurs within other discriminated groups.
For instance, I wonder whether the Roma look down on people of African descent. And it would be interesting to know if the Dalit of India-who are often much darker than African Americans or Coloureds of South African think they are better than those groups, even if they may not have met any person from that group.
