Is anyone else reading?
If Manju's the only one reading, that's some sad muthafuckin shit.
So if you're reading speak up.

I still crush you boo ;-) & stop by from time to time.
Though to be fair, I think you and Manju bring out the best (ideas) in each other.
Well, I thank you for the third party opinion. but when one mischaracterizes what you say over and over again, and quotes out of context, it's difficult to have any kind of constructive discussion.
Also, as an ex-uncle tom myself, I'm completely familiar with the ideology that surrounds most of his thinking.
the interesting thing is, i didn't necessary disagree with HMF in the beginning (conservatives love realpolitik) but rather I was interested to see how his theory of white privilege applied to desis who dated blacks, or stayed exclusively desi. where they immune to white privilege or did it just take a different form?
i had no idea what the data would say but once i saw where it lead, and hmf's resistance to it, i concluded (like many on SM) this must just be something personal.
The data supports my claim, you are simply twisting it to suit your ends.
36% to 31% is a significant difference, not as much as koreans, or other east asians. but
you're leaving out two major factors
1. relationships, and just the general attitude of those women that do date white men heavily - they're just anti Indian (they even hate themselves to a certain extent)
2. in many of the east asian communities, marriage into white families is seen as a step up, and is much more socially accepted by their communities as they've been here longer. As more and more uncle tom women spring up in our own community, we will see this happen.
