now this african is talking about skin colour!!!.............
when in the world did i talk about skin colour .........almost all indians are very light to very dark brown ......majority of the indians fall in between in terms of skin colour ofcourse i dont deny that.....seriously man just shut up ur talking about race and then ur talking about skin colour???.....race has nothing to do with skin colour.....it has all to do with features there are three races caucasoid mongoloid and negroid........if it was based on skin colour then chinese would be called white not europeans becos europeans are pink but some chinese (excluding the chinese villagers) are bloody white!!.......
all i said was that from east to west - south to north all indians are caucasoid........simply saying that no its not true and that indians are not pure racially jus to make urself feel better is stupid........its a waste of time to divide indians saying that a tamil is different in looks from a hyderabadi or a keralite looks different to a gujarati.....

........talking about tribals is also a waste of time most of the numbers are completely exaggerated, all these afrocentrists event a new tribal everyday in india which doesnt exist getting all weird names and crap.......

....i can talk the same crap about ur sans bushmen or whateva...
u r wasting ur time trying to divide indians........its not going to work........karma always gets back to people who do the wrong stuff....

anyways im bored with this crap .........jus stick to the topic about the racial purity and proper maintainance of racial identity of asian indians in america........stick to the topic or dont talk at all.......cus i wont answer ur other crap its boring.......

Dude, where did you get colour = race from? Many South Indians have black skin and its a fact. Having darker skin colour doesn't imply a different race. And can you please provide some EVIDENCE that I'm African? Because you'll only make yourself look like a fool by calling everyone Africans when you haven't even seen any of us.
Caucasoid is NOT a race. It's an antropological classifciation of phenotypes, and doesn't imply a race. If it were a race, then that would make all South Asians the same race as Europeans but we obviously aren't. And who exactly told you Indians are only Caucasoids? There are tons of Indians with non-Caucasoid features, especially Mongoloid and Australoid features. I've seen Indians that look like Middle-Easterners, Hispanics, Latinos, East Asians, South-East Asians and even ones that look like Aborigines. I've already had a debate on whether or not Indians are Caucasoid in the Other Cultures section, so I can't really be bothered to have another one so I'll just make it quick.
If India was a homogenous country, then it wouldn't have so much physical and genetic diversity. Homogenous countries usually have low genetic diversity but India has one of the highest levels of genetic diversity in the world, which makes it obvious that India is not a homogenous country. Indian is not an ethnicity anyway, its a nationality, since there are at least 1000-2000 ethnic groups in India and they all consider themselves "Indian". You can think what you like but its a fact that India has been a melting pot for 1000s of years for so many ethnic groups to have been formed. Most Indians I've met are usually proud of India's physical and genetic diversity but you seem like you aren't too happy about it...
That's enough about history, since your obviously going to deny all of it anyway, and your still just gonna shout African no matter what I say, since you seem to have some kind of fetish for that word...
As for maintaining racial purity, you know there are over a billion Indians so no matter how many Indians inter-married, Indian culture and identity would never disappear, especially with the high birth rates in India. It's much more likely that all the other races would be assimilated by Indians rather than the other way round (with the exception of China's larger population). Someone once even said that everyone in the world will one day "look like a hybrid between Chinese and Indian", which sounds a bit far-fetched to me though.
