I read this story recently about an Indian blogger whose blogs are read by a lot of people all over the world. She is an Indian living in Mumbai with a decent name i think, her blog is called evawhite. something. com . When asked why she uses pseudonym she said that what she writes about what appeals to western public but when she had her Indian name in the URL she didn't get many hits or people who wanted to read her blog after being referred by friends were apprehensive with just the URL sounding different.
When she changed the URL to a name that sounded western like evawhite, her blog was recognised even before it was opened.
Racism exists everywhere, so much prejudice is there at work, public places, even government rules are askew, favouring the majority in not only your country but every country. Racism is in Human blood i think. The only place where Racism is not apparent or maybe doent exist is in sports particularly Olympics. Fastest Men on earth were mostly Blacks.
Even Blacks are so obsessive about what they should be called and not what people think about them. They keep changing their name to African - Americans and Native americans every 10-15 years , it makes no sense. Why are you so obsessive about what they call you, shouldnt you be working towards bettering yourselves instead. Shakespeare said whats in a name, a rose can be called anything it will still be a rose.
Please people don't concentrate on names and i think that is the worst kind of racism, the kind which even Cartman would hate.

Respect.
