[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, my husband's family is South Asian, and they are extremely racist.  Every family and social gathering, they talk freely in racist terms, and they save their worst ire for black people--there is true derision in their voices.

It makes me physically ill.  But I don't think it has been passed on to my husband's generation, not has their sexism or classism (or caste-ism).  But then your post made me wonder if his generation just tones it down around us because I am not South Asian.

So sad.  So ugly.[/quote]

i am SA and i agree that there is much prejudice in the SA culture against many groups.   i have gotten into many a disagreement with friends and family over this subject and will not tolerate the use of the k word.  i happen to cringe everytime i hear it, so yes, i do think it is a bad word.

so why did you marry into this culture?  i have to admit i get pretty tired of non SA (women, mostly) who have married into the SA culture, yet continue to bad mouth it.  it is severely irritating.  what have you done to combat this racism instead of just coming on here to fluff your feathers?  please, enlighten us.
