trinitrish

Somebody come with a good reason why I shouldn't be upset when referred to as a Bhaji?

This from an incident in shakers on arapita avenue...where I was informed by a friend that " the local whites fondly refer to indian's as bhaji" and all this because somebody find I looking like are real hot bhaji! I living in Trinidad...and name calling is ridiculous and I was offended.
Additional Details
Ignorance don't cut it! This is a cosmopolitan country and like it or not majority is made up of africans & indians. I feel very disrespected and discriminated against when things like that happen, whether it be to me or someone else. My Birth Paper says Trinidadian, who just happens to be of indo ethnicity and even so ah not even pure...ah mix. And, yes...I got braced from entering a club with no good explaination. With nonsense like this going on, I refuse to accept anyone trying to make me feel inferior.

So you could be Prince Charming...me ent business....I don't see or find myself being referred to bhaji in anyway appealing, attractive, cute, funny etc. Show some more respect than that.

wha d hell? if you calling me bhaji...you sure as hell dont mean it "fondly". what you mean is that you dont think im good enough for you to think of me as a person. dam i would be offended.

but as julien said, they arent even worth getting angry with!! unfortunately we all have to live with this BS....even in this day and age!!! and sadly thy would think its CUTE to refer to someone like that! steupppppppppppppps.

now i vex!


Bugsy Rabbit
Lever A that's just like a man buying a woman the best cars, biggest house expensive clothes and trips around the world but at night he beats the crap out of her.
Now think does your answer still make sense.


Persian Melon...

yeah dread dat sad. still in this day and age people goin on and on with this nonsense.
You just have to be the bigger person. people like dem like 8 track cassette players -- they around but useless and too few to take notice.
But yuh have to be like dasheen leaf nowadays just let dem tings run off yuh back.


curious!

Girl yuh dam right - it is insulting to other races to be called

******, golliwog, tar-baby, chinky-eye, FBI (flat bottom indian), collie, etc.

People should avoid using these words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Re$h
u are damn right to be, im sure they wudnt like it if u "fondly" referred to them as something in particular..
i've been there and still am. i dont know when we're gonna shake of this nonsense, not only here, but in the world..

u have a right to be offended, i really wish there was some solution to discrimination like that.
i honestly think some ppl judge to quickly..

in a pic my bf has on his phone a co-worker told him "dougla, i didnt know is a beti u have"

a few weeks ago we saw the same person while at the mall, next day at works he asks him "so whey yuh pic up dat reds from boy, she real sweet!"

newsflash @$$hole, is the same "beti" arrgghhh, i hate that kinda sh!t...


¡Keisha!
Where people does come up wit some of these names, and dey tink cuz everybody else sayin it dat it ok. People doh tink before dey does talk!


Trixi
I would try to care less about the term used and more about the context. If people call you bhaji in a mean way, then you should be offended, but if it's a term of endearment or just a way to describe you, don't take it personally.

For example, some black people prefer to be called African Americans, and some like to be called Black, some like "dark or brown skinned" some use less proper terms to describe themselves... I don't want to offend anyone, but I have to pick one of those terms if I'm describing a black person. Maybe that's just how they are describing you, not in a mean way, but just because that's the only way they know how.


Lever A
suppose is ah real hot guy ( you know the kind) and he willing to cross the widest ocean , climb the steepest cliff . just to have his hot "bhaji"...would that make you feel better...just asking..
