Comments on: Instinctive Racism or Thought Through Typecasts? http://anmolsagar.com/2008/09/29/instinctive-racism-or-thought-through-typecasts/ Myriad thoughts on a million things Mon, 30 Jan 2012 10:10:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Anmol http://anmolsagar.com/2008/09/29/instinctive-racism-or-thought-through-typecasts/comment-page-1/#comment-28 Anmol Mon, 06 Oct 2008 07:09:06 +0000 http://anmolsagar.com/blog/?p=33#comment-28 lolz.. thanks gauri for stopping by! I read an interesting article in Mumbai Mirror on racism in india. One poor courier boy who has a first class ticket (bought by his employers for him) for the mumbai locals is usually pushed off by the elitest first class passengers and not allowed to enter the carriage because people don;t think he looks like someone who would have a valid first class pass. He was so fed up of being asked for proving that he does indeed have a pass, that he resorted to wearing the pass around his neck!! It's so sad that even in these life and times, people are so prejudiced that they would constantly judge people by the way they dress and look. :( lolz.. thanks gauri for stopping by!
