other the South Asian is eager to be categorized alongside whites, as Caucasians.
Brown on the outside, "white" on the inside, South Asians are mostly perceived in America as being too white to be
black, and too black to be white. But with the increase in post 9/11 attacks against South Asians, at least some are being forced to come to grips with the myth that equates Indo-Aryan with Caucasian and with being white.

Bunch of nonsense from this author. I take it as a great insult to be categorized with Whites or Caucasians. A few coconuts and early macaulyite Indian immigrants acted White, but that was in the first wave of immigration when they had to act meek and submissive. Why would I want to be accepted by them, when my race has a longer history of civilization, when White Western languages are derived from my brown ancestors language, Sanskrit.
At the same time, we are distinct from other so called "colored" races. We stand on our own as a tribe and work with others as needed.
