Saw the names. Most are Muslims.
ReplyDeleteEuropean descent people need to get back to our pre-Christian roots and forge alliances with polytheists worldwide to edge out corrupt monotheistic peoples.
Hi Thomas! Replied to you at unz;
ReplyDeleteActually in the UK we are called “Asians” whereas the above mentioned are called “Chinese”, “Japanese”, etc. In the US its the opposite. Those ones are called “Asians” and we are called “Indian” “Sri Lankan” etc, or sometimes as South Asians. We often refer to ourselves as “Desis” though. Desi coming from the Sanskrit देश (Desh) which means local, indigenous, home land, among other things.
I like “sub-asians” though. Has a nice ring to it and fits neatly in with Gayatri Spivak’s sub-altern theories.
Are you aware that my President once referred to himself as a Desi in front of a crowd of Indian Americans? Amazing!
DeleteI got an interesting email from an Indian American lady who had an interesting perspective on the whole Indians as con-artist phenomena. I asked her if there was a difference in the sort of Indian who immigrated to UK to those in my country. I suspect the UK got the better deal. If do, why? I have a theory but I'd like to head some informed comment before deciding.
As a Christian I can't say I'm in favor of a polytheistic world alliance. I was interested in your family tree research on some of the people in my article.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah I heard that. Because he had a Pakistani roommate and knew how to cook dahl. It was a joke that probably went over well with Desis.

Might be a different demographic of Indian. I'll do some research and see if the UK Indians come from different areas than the US Indians are coming from. Also consider that they've been in the UK for several generations now while in the US its mainly first and second generations.
On the other hand its the opposite with Muslims. Muslim immigrants to the US are largely assimilated Arab professionals. Muslim immigrants in the UK are largely Pakistani and Bangladeshi lower class folk who recently have become influenced by the worst strain of Islam which is setting them apart from their Desi compatriots - the Indian Sikhs and Hindus, as well as the rest of British society. They are wearing burkhas, niqab and basically ghettoizing themselves in neighborhood clusters of backwardness.
What's interesting is that many of their parents and grandparents (both in the UK and in Pakistan or Bangladesh) are not doing this. These young people seem to be choosing to adopt this radical and non-assimilating form of Islam as a socio-political statement.
