This has to be the most purile topic on the forum, labelling is universal human nature and is done across all cultures, there is nothing specifically Hindu about it, latinos call non latinos gringos etc. That is how people differentiate ingroup members from outgroup members. And gora/kallu are literal translations of the mainstream English words white/black. As for me, I am quite used to hearing all desis called as brown and I don't mind it. It may also shock you to know that the vast majority of people like to marry within their ethnic groups (and yes that includes the whites and blacks along with the big bad Indian origin Hindooos).
And lot of ethnic groups like to speak in their own language including Chinese etc outside on the bus which I don't understand but which I frankly don't give a sh1t about. By this purile logic a Quebecois ought to be ashamed of speaking French in Ontario because everyone around him/her is using English, well tell that to the Quebecois and see what reaction you get ...
This is a perfect example of PC bullshit gone wild.
And I got an opinion about people who don't like speaking Gujarati etc even though they know it, i call them sell outs or coconuts.
