    Nope - call him an American, he'll take offense to that! I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended. I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended. Dave

          Does that encompass all Indians? I've heard in India there are 'white' Indians (Aryans?) that look more like caucasians and are suppossedly of higher caste than dark-skinned Indians.

                'South India' is more of an ethnic term than a geographical one. The four South Indian states are mostly made up of Dravidians. The rest of India is largely Aryan, except of course the North-East, where people are of Mongoloid stock. Cheers, Vikram.

                    Yep, there are three races, caucasian, negroid and mongoloid. White, black and yellow! Negros are south of the sahara and Australian aborigine, mongoloid starts from burma and goes north and east and the native americans, and the rest is caucasian. Nunc est bibendum

                            As Vikram said, most South Indians are Dravidians (again a sub-group of Caucasians). While the average Dravidian Indian is darker skinned than the average Aryan Indian, in reality, the coloring is pretty well balanced throughout the country. There are dark skinned Brahmins (upper castes) and there are fair skinned lower castes. Regards, Nish

                                Refer any dictionary. Wordweb says 'East Indian' is an inhabitant of the 'East Indies' and the 'East Indies' refers to the Malay/Indonesian archipelago. The 'American Indians' or whatever is the fancy term for them in the current political climate are not Indians at all; they are American aborigines. Cheers, Vikram.

                                  I've made fun of and/or ridiculed americans, indians, paskistanis, iranians, venezuelans, iraqis, egyptians, arabians, africans, german, australians, norwegians, danish, canadians, mexicans, spanish, chinese, russians, english, french, rednecks, yankees, cowboys, politicians, lawyers, muslamics, catholics, jews, protestants, mormons, gays, straights, transexuals, whites, blacks, browns, olives, apples, carrots, potatoes, spam, cows, ducks, geese, cardinals, Windows, Linux, Macs, OS/2, C++, C#, Pascal, all of the basic food groups (including liquid paper), and lions and tigers and bears (oh my!). At the same time, I honestly can't recall saying anything about anybody because they were any of any of those things (well, except maybe Windows). I have fun at everyone's expense, and if someone is acting like a retard, I'll ridicule them for it - regardless of their race. EDIT #2: I also claim the right to make fun of any aspect of said retard that I feel might garner the most laughs from people with less/no humor-blocking stick shoved up their ass. Hell, I'm not even a bigot, even in the broadest of terms. In short - If you're stupid, it's not necessarily because you are from a certain country or race, and there's nothing I can do about it beyond pointing it out.

                                  And you do it very well, generally. Your comments make me laugh most of the time.
