Yes; or at least a westerner anyway. Moreover, there's also the question of why an Indian would dedicate so much time to posting screeds about America on a message board consisting almost entirely of Caucasian westerners.
I don't, although I'd be surprised if it's a significant number. Do you know, or was that a rhetorical question?

Saying I couldn't be Indian because I sounded white and Western is what, exactly? Let me guess: a compliment?
Hey, you know it was funny Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Though maybe it was the insinuation of being a Westerner. Incidentally, in the US most classifications of Indian race are caucasian. That's what one of my teachers said anyway... prevented him from getting minority benefits. He had a reaction similar to S.A.M. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! I probably shouldn't have said that though. Now the usual crowd will pop up and claim that the Harappan civilization was made by white people, and the dark skinned people there were illegal immigrants who showed up later and out bred the whites.
Didn't say you couldn't be. Just said that you don't write any differently than the white westerners around here, nor have I heard you display any knowledge that any westerner with a modicum of interest in India wouldn't know. These are simple statements of fact; if you dislike the prospect of being linguistically indistinguishable from those groups, it's up to you to do something about it. Moreover, you are inconsistent in your positional references with respect to India (sometimes it's "here," other times it's "there.") Another theory would be that you are indeed of South Asian descent, but have lived all/most of your life in the West. This would account for all of the behavior exhibited.
This is so sad and now that S.A.M moved it to the cesspool it will be hidden and nothing will change.
No, that classification system went out many decades ago. Not that there are any "minority benefits" to speak of for Asians in the United States. Since they're over-represented in the colleges and universities, affirmative action policies typically result in the *exclusion* of Asian students in favor of black, hispanic and native applicants. Interestingly, white acceptance rates are not affected by affirmative action.
