  This is beyond absurd. On my recent trip to India, I applied for renewal of my parents' passports. I had to make 4 trips to the passport office with my parents and wait for hours for the babus to do the needful. This, simply to renew passports for someone who had been first issued theirs almost 5 decades ago. Then followed the police verification. Who says India is a secular country? It is a Mihammedan theocracy with law abiding Hindus paying Jaziya tax.

Crypto-christorule is trying to draw attention away from its christianism by showing favouritism to islamaniacs. Same as how AP govt gives more of the Hindu Temple money it has looted to Hajj subsidies than it does to the christoterrorists in AP.
It's a concealing mechanism. Just like how cryptochristists often descend to news and social portals to defend islamania.
It is not that they are pro-muslim. It is that they are anti-Hindu and their priorities are defined in that order.

Race classification fails to say something useful when it is applied to my family.

Also: Your second statement "diversity of people .... hence not racist" is implicitly tying race categorisation with the verifiable/observable fact of human diversity, by drawing the discussion back onto race-related matters. But the existence of human diversity is neither tied to nor predicated on the recent race construct, but exists independent of it. People have long known of human diversity (e.g. Romans). But racial categories are a recent concept and racism a recent phenomenon. Race had in recent centuries been <i>woven over</i> human diversity as a means to explain (and subsequently organise) it; and many today find it an insufficient, incomplete and even inaccurate description for human diversity.
Oh how I stumble with English. Can't explain what I mean, don't have the words, I give up. Hopeless.
