I am a desi myself and I think that I know my "own people."

Also, consider your statement that my saying "desis are more racist than Arabs, something that cannot be objectively measured, is just as silly as the other way around" (i.e. saying Arabs are more racist). If this is the case, why is it that only when this claim was made about desis that you decided to decry the entire enterprise as stupid but not when it was confined to critiquing Arabs?

Before you claim that it was because you had never read this thread before, ask yourself two questions, those being is this an issue worth lying over and would your forum activity log vindicate you?

I'm a desi too, so that statement does not lend any extra weight to your argument.

Anyway, my motivations for making a statement have nothing to do with whether or not the statement is false.

I really wish people would learn to keep logical fallacies out of discussions on this forum.

In any case, the reason I did not make the point earlier on in the life of this thread with respect to the stereotyping of arabs, is because it was made for me by amr123 in post #7.

The second part in bold was completely uncalled for. Why would you assume that I was going to lie? How about having husn al zann?
