I am fine with being labeled East Indian. Don't mind Indo-Guyanese or Indo-Caribbean. I am definitely not Indian. So what's exactly is the problem here?
Don't encourage this madman. "Indian" is used narrowly here as a race and among Guyanese people as shorthand to describe ethnically what is specifically a subgroup of Guyana and the Anglophone Caribbean.
why am i a "madman"? . . . for writing this:
"you [Shaitaan] are making a modern political argument, and that is your right
but who are u to pour scorn on those who choose not to embrace the nationalism of country INDIA for whatever POLITICAL reasons?
again, nothing wrong with self-identifying as "Indian" if that means race to you . . . tens, perhaps a couple hundred million on the sub-continent and elsewhere simply disagree with that!
people use "African" and it has wide acceptance primarily because the term is not political . . . imagine if "Congolese" or "Ethiopian" (actually used in BCE times) were being pushed as the accurate descriptor of Negroid peoples wherever they are found
unbunch your Hindutva panties lil and relax"
hmmmm . . .?
