A look at how unfairly the West classifies people

To label a man who likes another man as 'gay' is rather like calling an Indian (South Asian) "black". It may suit the so-called whites to label everyone who is not as white as them as 'black', but then why should Indians take that identity. Not that there is anything wrong in being black. But that's just not us. In fact Indians are racially closer to the Europeans than to the Africans.

The double standards of the West in classifying people on the basis of race, on an unfair basis, can be easily seen from the fact that, if we were to consider only the colour of the skin -- then Chinese and Japanese men are have as white a skin as the Europeans. So, why don't we call Chinese and the Japanese as "whites". But then that will not suit the Western whites (well at least those who are in power).
