I know some black women who would love to pass. Sad but true, and I don't believe I could be the only one in here who knows what I'm talking about. Aww SweetS, if you say you aren't Indian then there it is. (BTW, I do like Indian food a lot and might call on you from time to time for some tips lol.)

But you haven't seen any amount of irritation until you have seen an <span style="font-weight: bold">Indian mistaken for black.</span> After a number of months, an associate said she was 100% East Indian. It was met by complete silence. Let's just say visually she showed no signs of even being mixed. She is still salty.

i guess you mean indian mistaken for african...
since black skin not the exclusive domain of africans....
we call indians- regardless of skin shade- &quot;indians &quot;; yet we call africans- regardless of skin shade- &quot;blacks&quot;...

it is only our own lack of pride which makes everyone else not want to be called or considered &quot;black&quot; (african)...
until we heal as a people and cultivate self-pride, we will have these issues;

in any case many east africans are often indistinguishable from some indians...
my theory is that east africa &amp; south asia were connected back in antiquity

No, I meant what I said but if it helps you to understand what I said better then roll with it.

You and I are not going to be able to have a decent discussion because I recognize nationality and race and you apparently only recognize nationality. Semantics aside, I know you got my point too even if you feel like bickering about it. I am not in the mood for it though so you will have to clap with one hand.

o.k. sarah palin...

they call people in the caribbean or anywhere else of apparent indian descent &quot;indian&quot;...some are black-skinned...
yet they will call a person of apparent african descent &quot;black&quot;...some are pale-skinned;

but i guess that's way over your ----head

Well Captain Obvious, you got it all out your system yet? Thanks for dropping those kernels of your grandeur.

Of all the times that I see black and Indian used all up in and through this site (even as much as in this thread title itself), my lone post is the time you decided to take issue? Fortunately, my personal project at the moment is working on restraint. That being said, I think your passive aggressive attack is a result of your not liking me saying your friend’s “supposed” letter sounded phony and self-serving. So stop mucking up this woman’s thread and address me directly in the appropriate thread like a man if you have issues with what I said.
