[QUOTE]Originally posted by markellion: [QB] Any color prejudice that might exist in India comes entirely from the British “The natural history of man: or, Popular chapters on ethnography” 1851 By John Kennedy http://books.google.com/books?id=mkwBAAAAQAAJ&pg=RA1-PA84#v=onepage&q=&f=false [QUOTE]The varieties of complexion prevailing among the Hindoos, who are Caucasians, are very noticeable. Bishop Heber was much struck, on his first arrival in Calcutta, by the great difference in colour between different natives. "Of the crowd by whom we were surrounded, some were black as Negroes, others merely copper colored, and others little darker than the Tunisians whom I have seen at Liverpool. Mr. Mill, the Principal of Bishop's College, who had come down to meet me, and who has seen more of India than most men, tells me that he cannot account for this difference, which is general throughout the country, and everywhere striking. It is not merely the difference of exposure, since this variety of tint is visible in the fishermen, who are all naked alike. [b]Nor does it depend on caste, since very high caste Brahmins are sometimes black, while Pariahs are comparatively white.[/b][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
