I help manage a legit Thai shop in Surry Hills and many of the girls there don't like Indians. but to me its not so much about racism as personal choice. if you look up the basic dictionary definition, it is the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, esp. so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races. it is also prejudice or discrimination directed against someone of a different race based on such a belief.

a person, for their own reasons, may not like a particular race, but that doesn't necessarily imply "inferior" or "superior". the girls I've chatted with about this all have their own reasons, and in the case of the Indians, their reasons are valid ones. for example, if the girl continues to have bad experiences with a particular race then she make not like them (in general) and may not want to take them as customers. this has nothing to do with racism. and it doesn't imply she'll "always" have a bad experience with people of this race.

above all there is our freedom of choice.

I went to a nightclub in Oxford st one night and the man at the door told me it was a "gay" only night and said I couldn't come in. I just said "great! thanks for the heads up (immediately feeling sorry for my choice of words and the unintended pun). if its gay-only then I certainly don't want to come in." this is a form of discrimination, but to me they have that choice. I can find another place to go. but don't get your panties in a knot when I have my own club and stop you at the door because its "hetro" only.
