Racial Discrimination, Are we the targer or Source

I just wanted to come off my emotional posts. I guess this would open a slight debate. We always felt that there is racial discrimination in US/Europe. But you'd be surprised if i say there is more racial discrimination between us (Indians) then we getting discriminated elsewhere. Still following?

Being in Bangalore i used to observe a whole lot of things, North Indians (Observe, the discrimination.. What does North or South have to do... But we still do address each other as North and South Indians ;) ) lot of whom were my friends (Some really close) kinda got favored by North Indians (And i dare say a little ill treated by south indians.. Well obvious, not directly). Now that i am in the US, feel that people here are really cordial (All American/Europeans are, Indians not that much. Looks like they are scared of something) and the Indians here are Indians not South, not North. I share a room with a guy from Punjab. I would put him in one of the best friends that ever met. We work as a team, obviously having friends from Punjab helped me a little. But i am sure i would have been good anyway.

In here at times you would see Kids (Indians) telling "Abey Edison kyun janna waha pe bahut sari South Indians hai" (Edison is a place in NJ. Majority of people are Indians, Well South Indians) (Brought to my notice by Munjal, my big boss in here.. Was bad to hear that). Should we do this to ourselves? Should we separate our country to North, South, East and West? Should we have Muslim, Christian Hindu, Sikh, Jain? Does it make a difference as to who works for the country?

PS: Oh man!!! All the posts that come are serious ones. Hope next one will be a little funnier

Good weekend. Cheers
