Those comments were uncalled for and extremely sad ><
People like that have extreme inferiority complexes and try to thrust them on others so they can feel better about themselves. I've met a percentage of desi girls/guys who think like this, and I it's unfortunate and close-minded. There should be NO shame in discussing your experiences or being in an interracial relationship.

CT, we moved this discussion over to NK’s site so as to not continue contaminating Gori’s place.

My favorite part is when she said she “has a life”. Given the fact that she seems to post a new comment every five seconds, that’s a little hard to believe.

Okay, now I must resolve to behave now too. (NK, you’re corrupting me! )

And I just about choked when CA said she did a lot of “self reflecting.”

I saw that “To Commenters” post that CA made, and it put me off the CBC blog for good. I’ve removed it from my bookmarks list…Who wants to talk to people who are that negative and judgmental all the time, when there are plenty of really nice and friendly and intelligent people to talk to over here?

There seems to be some very pointed commentary over there over the last couple days…

Yeah D, you are awesome and hung on for sooo long over there. Furthermore, I had issues with the ENTIRE SNOOTY TRINITY! You are a better woman than I!!!

My guess is there will be other mavericks like us who will pop up and shoot for the same things we did. They will eventually feel squashed and leave, too. Too bad, the script never changes for them…

Don’t blame you in the least, D. I’m glad we still get to benefit from your insight here!

Heh, you guys congratulated me too soon — I’m giving up on CBC. I decided that it’s silly to get myself all worked up about some idiot on the internet (since it was mainly one person who got to me), and I’d rather spend what little time I’m going to have for goofing off over the next few weeks in more pleasent places.

Thanks GoriGirl! Yes, I’ll probably write more about our wedding at some point. We’re going to India again at Diwali too so I’ll write about that trip too…I can’t wait!!! Also, I have a recipe for bhindi masala that we made last night that I want to post soon…

I spent a little time reading around on CBC…I see what you guys mean. It’s an interesting site but it’s too bad that it’s so negative toward Indian culture. It makes me wonder, if you can’t stand the culture so much, then why are you in a relationship with someone who is a product of that culture? After all, that person’s culture/family made them the person that you love. I can’t imagine telling my husband that he has to cut off contact from his family or stop participating in his culture. Just the thought makes me really sad.

Hey guys, thanks for your support regarding Amit. His comments actually didn’t upset me at all; I have a very thick skin for that sort of thing. In fact, I kind of enjoyed it until he started being completely irrational, and therefore boring to debate with. Aditya and I were giggling to each other through IMs the entire morning. Next time, though, I’ll try to rein in that side of myself and stop feeding the troll.

@ D. Jain: Thanks for commenting, and linking to your blog. I really liked it – you should post more! I like your pictures of India/your wedding, and, of course, recipes are always great. I’d be interested to hear more about your Jain wedding ceremony too…

To answer your question about CBC – the other posters are referring to the site Colorblind Cupid which is a blog written by two women in intercultural relationships – one married to an Indian, the other married to a Chinese guy. I used to read and comment at their blog, but have since been banned for, um, I’m not sure really. Basically, while I think they offer some useful information, I disagreed with a lot of their opinions – and they way the expressed them (think stereotype). A lot of my comments (and even one post that I pointed out was expressing racist sentiments) were deleted. However, if others find the site useful/informative, I think that’s great for them.

@ tybris: Welcome to the site! I didn’t know that Amit/Akshay was a habitual troller, but it doesn’t surprise me. I’ll try to (*crosses fingers*) get another blog post up about our wedding ceremony over the weekend, but no promises!

Well, since it’s not really devoted to talking about Akshay/Amit, I feel I must add my two cents in solidarity with D and NeoKalypso and CT who were commenting about CBC’s site… I actually found that site before this one, and the two are like night and day, as far as atmosphere is concerned. I still go there to read the posts, but I’m always struck by the incredible negativity they have toward all things Indian/intercultural. I haven’t found anything there worth commenting about for awhile… D, you’re a better woman than me for sticking around and continuing to champion the idea that not all Indians are horrible people!
