[size=14pt]Ramesh, why is an Indian like you so racist towards Chanderpaul? Are you a self-hating Indian? Is it because he is a darker shade of Indian?
I could understand why a Chinese person like Gong or a Trinidadian like Mail or an Indo-British Trini like me hates an Indian like Chanders, because historically, Chinese, Indians and Trinidadians have always hated Indians and praised Afro-West Indian batsmen over Indians (except Kanhai and Kali, who they love for some rason), but why...why would someone called Ramesh racially hate Chanders? It dont make sense. Is it because he is Indian and you are Indian?
This kind of insularity must stop, and go back to regular, easy-to-understand insularity. I remember back in the days, when bigotry used to make sense. Oh, how I miss those days. [/size]

Trini:
* The photo above is what Ramesh looks like. Don't be fooled by the handle.
[size=12pt]Is this true, Ramesh? You are an Indo-hating Afro-West Indian who uses Indo-West Indian online names in order to infiltrate West Indian cricket communities and sew seeds of discontent against Indo West Indians?
This is very disturbing. But also strangely sexy.[/size]
No one is entitled to be racist, irrespective his ethnicity. RACISM IS RACISM AND IS WRONG.
Ramesh may well be, but how have you arrived at Ramesh being racist towards anyone anyway?
How could you, in whatever category you put yourself, justify hating Chanders but Ramesh cannot?
Ramesh is entitled to dislike Shiv for the reasons he has pointed out and as far as I am aware he has not been racist unless you can point it out to me.
Yes his perspective is quite irritating but no different in irritation decibels to Rev and Ketchim for their continual insularity, above and beyond healthy banter!
Ramesh, in his latest thread has reasonably pointed out the number of repetative threads on Shiv which is quite tedious. I also posted a thread this afternoon, on Shiv, as it quite succinctly presents Shivs career including another world record of playing in the most defeats of anyone in test history.
Ramesh sticks to his perspective and so do others and the past he has been an agent provocateur when it came to Sammy to the chagrin of us all.
All of us, as much as we admire Shiv, pointed out his unnecessary slowness on day 2 of the first test against Bangladesh and they proceeded to deliver a tirade and rant ad nauseam!!!
As Kwams would say, he is entitled to his views even if he is racist.
[size=12pt]My satire against the irrationality and absurdity of Ketchim's belief in anti-Shiv racism backfired because a dude called Ramesh really was black.
Even worse, this makes me racially insensitive for assuming all guys called Ramesh are Indian. This further highlights Ketchim's points that all Trinis are mentally inferior.
