STILL MORE RACISM IN INDIA

Do we still need further proof that INDIA IS THE MOST RACIST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD?

I am not a fan of the sport of cricket, but have to see headlines related to it every time I open any Indian news website. The most recent bit of news is extremely disgusting and sickening.

Apparently, one of the cricket clubs in India, King's eleven Punjab, contracted a British cheer-leading team to cheer their team during games. Now, two black (of African origin) girls in this team were called n***ers and told by the club officials that "people here don't want to see dark people."

Seriously, what the f*ck?? Indians are the same people who scream at the top of their lungs whenever one of them is treated badly in Western countries, but behave this barbarically at home? Actually, I shouldn't be surprised, because Indian society has its own system of racial segregation - the system of castes. It just goes to expose their hypocrisy.

If this were to have happened in Europe or the United States, the team in question would be disqualified and barred for a few seasons, and probably have to pay hundreds of thousands of euros/USDs in fines. This is a real test for the cricket federations, the International Cricket Council and the Indian Cricket Board, on whether they are serious about fighting racism, or use the word only for publicity.

King's eleven Punjab is co-owned by Preeti Zinta, a popular actress in India. If I were in India, I'd stop watching her movies, unless she apologized.
