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

Most certainly it does because even though we are both desis, I am the one making the claim, based on personal knowledge, that we are as racist and fault-ridden as, if not more so than, Arabs. You on the other hand are not saying one way or the other but that it is an unprovable proposition. Your being desi has no relevance when it comes to making that claim.

Additionally, my primary claim is that we love to POINT to their faults; that we have the same and to the same or greater degree is a secondary claim.

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.

It doesn't nor have I claimed that it does. I have only highlighted it because it supports my PRIMARY claim, namely that desis love to point to Arab faults but stay blind to their own (at least 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?

We are all inclined towards sinning and what I wrote was a warning and a piece of advice.

Furthermore, you conveniently ignored my challenging of your claim that the greater emphasis desis place on pointing out Arab faults on this forum, while staying blind to their own. I will help get you started. Here are some threads that you might find of interest:
