[QUOTE]Originally posted by Pandabear: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Pandabear: [qb] Well Lioness, I'm an Indian and I know of no Indian that considers him/herself to be black as in someone of African descent. I also don't know of any Indian that is delusional enough to think of him/herself as white. I'm sure someone will point to a some Indian friend that thinks otherwise but, by and large, Indians don't think of themselves of recent African descent. However, most Indians do sympathize with the plight of African Americans and I believe the Indian community voted for Obama at the rate of 90%. [/qb][/QUOTE]'Black' is a reference to skin color. There are black peoples native to many tropical regions around the world not just Africa. So course there are many Indians that are indeed black. That does not mean they are of African descent. This whole thread is silly and stupid due to its author. [/qb][/QUOTE]Except in the US, black denotes African ancestry. If you want to define black as just people with black skin, then yes, there are blacks in India. And what's the cutoff point for black and the origin of brown? Besides, there are many African Americans in the US with significant European ancestry and are certainly lighter than many Indians, yet they are considered black. With respect to your comment about Bollywood actors and actresses being of foreign origin, that's incorrect. In the early days of Bollywood, there were many Afghan actors/actresses but that was because Indian society frowned on that as a career choice. But since the 70's, almost all have been Indians and the most prominent actresses have been South Indian in particular. [/QB][/QUOTE]
