You may have noticed that, unlike many intercultural blogs, I don’t post any recipes of new Indian dishes I’ve learned to cook. Partially that’s because, well, I don’t cook much Indian food, really. And partially because I figure that all of you are intelligent to google your way to the thousands (or, at least, dozens) of cooking blogs that feature great recipes of traditional Indian dishes. There’s a few blogs I particularly like listed in the sidebar under Odds & Ends, if you haven’t seen this blogging niche before.
However, at least in the food blogs I follow, I’ve seen an untapped segment in the market – there aren’t any recipes of Indianfied traditional American dishes! This sort of fusion food, along with stir frys, is the majority of what I cook – just simple dishes that you ate growing up mixed with an Indian sense of spices. They’re the best of both worlds: quick, easy recipes that I know like the back of my hand adjusted so that Aditya won’t complain about “blandness” when we eat.
So, today I’ll share with you my recipe for Quick Indianfied Chicken Pot Pie. This is the dish that got amazed raves from Aditya’s parents when I served it to them. (I think that prior to my cooking it, they hadn’t realized I knew how to cook at all, so perhaps they were just glad I hadn’t accidentally poisoned them.) It’s a very simple, quick, filling dish, so even if you’re not much of a cook, you should be able to manage just fine. Besides the text below, I’ve loaded a bunch of images on my flickr site to show you how to do it step-by-step too.
A bit of a warning first – I’m the sort of cook who doesn’t typically follow recipes. I’ll look through cookbooks for inspiration, but that’s about it. Cooking Indianfied Chicken Pot Pie is no exception – I’ll lay out the basics for you, but I highly suggest that you experiment a bit to get the dish just as you like it. Luckily, it’s a simple enough recipe that it’s easy to change things up without creating something that tastes bad!
What you need:
- A Casserole Dish - I use your basic 13×9 glass dish, but you can use whatever you have on hand, as long as it has sides of at least two inches or so. You can even go crazy and use a pie pan!
- Chicken – I use chicken breasts because they’re a leaner meat, and thus healthier, but you can use whatever cuts you prefer. Three chicken breasts were enough meat for my dish, but you can vary this based on your preferences – I like my chicken pot pie to be reasonably chicken-y, but don’t want the chicken to overpower everything else. If Aditya were cooking the dish, he’d probably use five chicken breasts.
- Frozen vegetables – Again, the amount and type of vegetables you use depend on what you like. This dish calls for frozen vegis ’cause they’re cheaper, just as healthy as fresh in the US, and way, way easier than cleaning and chopping fresh vegetables. In the casserole pictured I used about three cups of corn, peas, and carrots, but in the past I’ve used string beans, lima beans, okra, and capsicum (bell peppers), and, when I had the time, fresh chopped onions. I would not suggest using broccoli or cauliflower.
- Cream of —– soup – These are the soups that come out of can looking all gelatin and nasty. I used two cans of cream of chicken soup and one can of cream of mushroom soup, and all were the “reduced fat versions”. Because that lets me believe that the cans actually contain something healthy. You can use only two cans if you prefer your pot pie less juicy, and as always, feel free to mix it up on the exact variety you use.
- 2 cups of Bisquick, two eggs, and 1 cup of milk – This is for the top of the pot pie. I like my crust thick, but if you prefer it thinner, cut out some of the Bisquick & milk in equal proportions.
- Indian Spices – These, of course, are what shift your basic chicken pot pie into an Indianfied chicken pot pie. Because the focus of this dish is on something quick & easy that you can put together without much trouble, I use the premixed spices that you can get at any South Asian grocery. Specifically, I used roughly one tablespoon each of the following spices: black pepper, garam masala, chicken masala, coriander/cumin, red chili powder, chopped garlic and “mystery” masala, and two tablespoons of turmeric. The “mystery” masala is a container of mixed spices whose label was accidentally wiped away – normally I’d use two tablespoons of chicken masala, but I ran out, so a tablespoon of the mystery masala was substituted in. Yeah, Indianfied Chicken Pot Pie is never the same from one time to the next – but it’s always good!
Cooking the dish, step-by-step
- Pull out your chicken and throw it in a pot of water to cook by boiling. If the chicken is frozen, then it’ll take about 30 minutes to fully cook – you can check by cutting through the chicken to make sure the meat is white all the way through, rather than pink. Don’t worry – there’s other stuff to do while your chicken cooks. Also don’t worry that the dish will taste bland because the chicken is boiled – it won’t.
- While your chicken is cooking, mix the Bisquick, milk, and eggs together in a bowl until the mixture is creamy and has little to no lumps. Leave it in the bowl for now.
- Open up your cans of cream of —– soup, and empty them into your casserole dish. Then dump your frozen vegis in there. You can also add your spices at this point, but I prefer to wait until the chicken is added.
- Pause for a snack of hummus & carrots. Also preheat oven to 400ºF.
- Take your chicken out of the pot (it’s been about 30 minutes, right?), wait for it to cool, then shred into small, 1-inch long pieces, placing pieces into the casserole dish.
- Add spices! I like to add my spices last, so that I can better eyeball exactly how much I’ve put in compared to the mass of the rest of the ingredients. When finished, your casserole dish should be looking pretty colorful. Then mix it all together.
- Smooth & even out the mixture in the casserole dish, then pour in the Bisquick mix for the crust, spreading it to all corners of the dish to fully cover the chicken mixture.
- Place chicken pot pie in the preheated oven (see step 4) for 30 minutes or until the crust turns a nice golden brown.
- Enjoy!
If you’re confused at any step, feel free to step over to my flickr site to see exactly how each step is done.

Indian pot pie—- ha ha!! That sounds rather yummy, as well as funny.
26. May 2009 at 10:14 pm
YUM! Kind of reminds me of the “vegetable pie” my mom used to make out of Bisquick. They had a basic recipe on the back, that was totally bland, but she fixed that with all kinds of yummy spices

Monkey in a Suit is a blogger who does sprinkle her Desi magic on White People Food. She calls it Confusion Food and does a great job with it (examples? http://monkeyinasuit.wordpress.com/category/con... and http://monkeyinasuit.wordpress.com/2008/10/06/k...)
Your recipe looks so good – I love chicken pot pie.
30. May 2009 at 8:21 am
That looks awesome, I'll have to try it. I am not sure how many of the spices we can get ahold of here in China but I'm sure we can find something. All the stores here have this very generic “curry” spice, that is what it is called, just curry, it is yellow and not spicy at all, very mild flavor. But in an import store I could probably get real spices. I cook normal white people food for my husband sometimes but I often have to throw in some chili powder otherwise he also says it is bland, so Indian-American (I like the term Confusion food above, hah!) food would probably work.

Too many blogs by “white women married to brown Indian men” on the net. Many claim to have great pride in the word “gori” too. I am not the least surprised to see many white women abuse the self-hating dark Indian insecurities. They might as well move to India, where talking in English and having the honor to at least rub white skin is considered more important than fixing poverty and feeding the poor (ironically Indians are so proud of kicking the white British out of India). The self-hating Indian mind and the (ever common) opportunist white mind are worth being subjected to a well funded sociology project by the National Science Foundation. It might add a chapter in human understanding.
3. June 2009 at 6:41 am
For anyone actually interested in why I chose to name this blog “Gori Girl”, feel free to check out my About page or the blog post Why the Gori of Gori Girl.
Oh, and for the record, I, like any self-respecting California beach-loving girl, prefer brown over white.
3. June 2009 at 8:22 am
Darkest dude ever, your comment has some truth in it. However. My experience in India is that goris/goras are not thought too highly of. No “white privelege” in that country! That is for sure. However, over here with diasporic Indians, I can see where your point holds true. Afterall, if diasporic desis are surrounded by white people in their American work and social environments, then yes, they would seek to fit in with them. Thats plain sociology and common sense – to conform to one's surroundings in order to insure “survival”.
3. June 2009 at 12:25 pm
Darkest Dude Ever ……..
I believe that you are leaving out one part of the human element. It's not always about fitting in, or survival. Sometimes it's just a meeting of the minds.
In my old work place, there were many more people of other nationality than there were “white” people. We found that we all had many things in common, similar minds, similar likes/dislikes, wishes, dreams, hopes, humor and strange fascination with wiggly jello.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that it is not always for esoteric reasons that people come together.
To be quite honest, I took umbrage with your comment…until I realized that perhaps the issue is not with what we think Gori means…but what YOU think it means.
To me Gori simply means a fair skinned girl (due to the 'i' instead of 'a' at the end of the word). Calling myself Gori is the Hindi equivilant to calling myself fair skinned or light skinned here in the US.
When I have a need to say this, it's generally because I'm trying to decide if that green shirt will look nice with my skin (and not make me look fat)….or what tone of makeup I should wear. I don't say I'm light skinned because I'm proud of it….actually, most of us here in the US would love a good tan as long as we could keep that pesky problem of skin cancer away.
I think the real issue here is how you perceive the word. I noticed amongst my Indian friends, that even the most open minded of them seem to be aware of their skin color (ie: light or dark or darkest). I have heard some of them judge another based on his color of skin. This perplexed me to a high degree, until I started doing more research and learned that it was a very large problem in India. And one that I believe needs to start within….
Perhaps by not attacking someone for using a simply defined and used word, based on your own issues with self-worth or inner-judgement.
Actually, after reading your comment again….I don't know about any one else, maybe it's just me…..but I got the distinct feeling that you have an issue with “white women married to brown Indian men”.
3. June 2009 at 7:14 pm
My comment was meant to be a “general comment,” and it obviously doesn't address women who get bent out of shape and write essays on the comment section. And it certainly wasn't posted to start a discussion here. Nice blog by the way.
One of the best characteristics white Americans share is that they will stand up for any ethnic minority group they think is being falsely accused (unlike back in India). While I admire such positive support from them, I don't recommend advising people, who have two decade experience growing up in India, on the prejudices of Indian culture. The abuse of India's love for white skin is so much that — I hate to post this here — even escorts from poor, eastern European countries are fleeing to India to make a fortune. The skin tone of the actors in Bollywood and Miss Worlds from India is a foreigner's proof of the white privilege in India. The above comment about white women being not so privileged in India is also true in the sense that they are from race which is viewed to be India's historic oppressor and, to an extent, immoral when it comes to sex (I don't share those views obviously).
I happen to be one of those people who think that having dark skin is a gift. I don't have a problem with interracial marriages, just with insecure Indians marrying white girls for their color, and white girls marrying Indians because they think they will be worshiped like a goddess for their whiteness, which the average white guy won't do.
3. June 2009 at 7:22 pm
Hmmm, how many of the Indians who come to the USA end up with white women who are even of equal (let alone more) academic standing in a scientific field? Literally none! That goes even for Fareed Zakaria and Sanjay Gupta.
3. June 2009 at 7:47 pm
To bring this comment thread back to the ACTUAL topic, I actually made the Indianfied Chicken Pot Pie this evening! My MIL really loves chicken pot pie, so this was perfect. It turned out really well, though I think I'll modify the spice ratio a bit next time. My husband said it was like pao bhaji (I'll have to take his word for it, cause I've never tried that).
A couple of questions for Gori, though: does it store well, and is it good as leftovers? There's more than half the pan left – it made a ton!
4. June 2009 at 6:45 am
“I don't have a problem with interracial marriages, just with insecure Indians marrying white girls for their color, and white girls marrying Indians because they think they will be worshiped like a goddess for their whiteness, which the average white guy won't do.”
If you think that applies to anyone here, then you clearly haven't read the blog or any of the comments. I think most of us found our SOs the way most people do — met, got to know each other, fell in love, etc. Although there are a few who are attracted to Indian guys in general and have dated more than one, many of us ended up with a guy who just happened to be Indian.
And as for your comment below about having equal/more academic standing in a scientific field, I actually have a higher degree than my husband, and we're in similar fields. And what does that have to do with anything, anyway?
4. June 2009 at 6:49 am
I haven't made this particular recipe, but regular pot pie both stores well and is good as leftovers. The crust won't be quite the same the next day, but it's still good. And you should really try pao bhaji (I've also seen it spelled pav bhaji) — it's one of my favorite Indian dishes. It's basically a thick vegetable stew served with buttered toasted rolls. Yum!
4. June 2009 at 6:55 am
It stores very well – just cover with saran wrap or tin foil & pop it in the fridge. The leftovers are fine reheated in the microwave.
Glad you liked it!
4. June 2009 at 9:12 am
Literally none = 0.
Aditya – B.A. in Religious Studies, Literature
GG – M.A. in Economics. (more “scientific”)
sooo. Also, Zakaria is amongst the most qualified – not to mention intelligent- people on the planet… taking him as your low “edge-case” is silly.

Well said, D!
Sometimes I think people (not necessarily white people or Indian people, but all kinds of people) have instinctual trouble grasping the fact that interracial couples come together for the same reasons that all couples come together – because they fall in love. In their minds, it must be for some other reason – because to admit that an interracial couple (or any couple that violates so-called societal norms – gay couples would fall into this category too) are together because they love each other would be somehow invalidating to their own notions of what is correct and “normal.”
And I happen to already have a PhD, while my husband is still working on his. And while my degree is in History, why is that any less valid an academic pursuit than the “hard sciences”?
4. June 2009 at 1:47 pm
Mocroidh, I agree with you for the most part. The real intensity lies in inter-racial relationships in this country (USA) when they are a black and white couple.
Whewee! Is that ever a charged coupling.
Its considered a political statement.
Black women complain that there are so few GBMs (good black men) out there and the few that are, take up with white or other non-black women. They don't like it at all!
And if the non-black woman is white, it brings up sorts of issues regarding power and slavery and just so many things.
Now that black women are also starting to date and marry non-black men, sparks are flying in the other direction.
Afro-centric, pro-black, types are having tizzy fits over all this.
Its very much politically and historically charged issue in the African American community.
When they start talking about it – you do NOT want to be in the room, believe me.
Day-um!
4. June 2009 at 2:26 pm
Thank you for both the compliment on the blog and on writing an Essay. I'm known for my long comments and I revel in that.
But this one will be shorter….
In 1959, Martin Luther King, a black Baptist Minister from the state of Alabama in the United States, traveled to India to learn about non-violent protesting from Mahatma Gandhi, a Hindu living in India.
It is my opinion that it does not always take an intimate knowledge of the situation in order to give sound advice. Sometimes one person's experience can influence or inspire another.
My fiance also grew up and has lived his entire life in India. He also has noticed the prejudices. The difference between him and you is that he is actually willing to do something about it rather than sit still and write condescending comments on blogs.
As you say, you were writing a “general comment” on a Intercultural Relationship blog. What amazes me is your surprise at receiving comments back from “women who get bent out of shape” at “general comments” that most would take as offensive.
PS: Sorry Gori….I know this isn't the topic on this particular blog…. I liked the recipe…made it veg and it turned out nicely! Way too many leftovers though so I shared it with my neighbors!
4. June 2009 at 5:21 pm
Is this discussion seriously still going on? One comment spawns such a huge backlash from women who get bent … well lets not go there.
It's actually 2 for me and 1 for you. Still can't evert the two above comments.
4. June 2009 at 5:25 pm
Aurora, touché! I agree:
A white woman would more often than not write a bigger essay than a brown Indian guy who hasn't had the time to waste on blogs.
5. June 2009 at 6:37 am
yeah, because “brown indian guys” (i.e. you) are too busy trolling on other people's blogs to write any of their own.
5. June 2009 at 11:27 am
The set “brown indian guys” contains yourself too.
5. June 2009 at 11:30 am
Don't diss yourself!
5. June 2009 at 12:17 pm
DDE….I'm just pleased to see that you have exposed yourself for being the judgmental and racist person that you were so apt to rail against.
And personally, I think that Aditya wins over you simply by being what you could never be. Kind, non-judgmental and honest with who he is.
It's people like you, who make other people afraid to share who they are. Bravo! I hope you are entirely proud of yourself.
Man changa toe kathuti may Ganga
5. June 2009 at 12:35 pm
Folks, DDE's attitude is similar to what you will find in any “black pride” group, or any ethnic pride group, for that matter.
They see intimately mixing with other ethnicities as a sort of “threat”.
Its not an altogether uncommon attitude.
I think most people on this planet feel that one should marry and mate within their own “group”. That is tribal culture. All cultures on Earth are tribal or descendents of tribal cultures.
Only the post-modern West mixes it up. But it wasn't always so.
Mixing it up to the extent that we do is a relatively recent phenomena.
And I know someone will chime in that humans have always mixed. True. But to what extent and was it promoted to the extent that it is now in the post-modern West?
Anyway, I'm familiar with his attitude coz I'm around it all the time in the African American community where many people feel very threatened by inter-racial, inter-ethnic and inter-cultural mating because it means LESS FOR THEM TO CHOOSE FROM.
5. June 2009 at 1:18 pm
Thanks Max….for that comment
And you are right, it is inherent in all of us to mix with our own. This does not only apply to color of skin. At family gatherings, you will see cousin's that grew up near each other spending more time with each other than those that grew up away from the core family (at least here you will). Another example is education, those of my uncles and aunt's who went to University tend to spend more time together than those that did not.
I'm just so tired of seeing people who propagate negative behavior in others because of their own issues. I'm wondering why DDE felt the need to come here, say the things he said and then pretend as if he didn't say them full well expecting a backlash of comments. I know my fiance would say, that it's because he is either prejudice, poorly educated (book smart rather than “street smart”) or because he had an Intercultural relationship himself that went bad.
If, like you said, he is proud of his culture or ethnic background, wouldn't he also realize (ie: hasn't history taught us) that negative confrontations and behavior hamper his “cause” rather than promote it?
Doesn't change the fact that it bothers me that people can be so noxious.
5. June 2009 at 1:19 pm
“Only the post-modern West mixes it up.”
Your bigoted view that Indian culture is mostly against interracial marriages (and is still tribal) is based on what — your poor ability to use inductive reasoning?
“They see intimately mixing with other ethnicities as a sort of “threat.”
Well, I will have you know, I am not against interracial marriages, just against incompetent freaks going after well qualified ethnic men.
Travel around the world or at least read a damn book. The so called “post-modern west” doesn't support interracial marriage any more than the Ayatollahs support women's rights.
5. June 2009 at 1:20 pm
Thanks Aditya.
5. June 2009 at 1:42 pm
Aurora,
an *** like you who goes around calling people racist and mean should go back and read your own comments and see how *** you were.
You seriously have insecurity issues. Speaking of ***going after qualified ethnic men, you have spilled enough “white” stereotypes against a person whom you met on the net to qualify as one.
I know exactly what kind of *** person you are: some white girl, who has never been treated well by white guys, who is seeking to marry a well qualified Indian guy, who thinks marrying a white girl is better than marrying an Indian (or any) girl of equal qualifications.
And I can be polite only to polite women, not ***like yourself.

Dude, do some pranayama and calm down.
If you read my comment CORRECTLY, you will notice that I say ALL cultures are tribal in essence, including the post-modern west.
But people who are truly “post-modern” in view (and that does not include the majority of people in ANY country, will not be tribalist or racist. They have a more universal view.
Again, these people are a minority.
5. June 2009 at 2:09 pm
Wow….your grasp of the English language and use of such Intellectual and Literate terms such as “skank”. High brow indeed!
And I stand by what I said. You do have racist and judgmental qualities and your previous posts prove it.
Your continued use of the terms “white woman” and “Indian guy” or “brown guy”, and let's not forget that your assumption that Indian men do not marry White women who are better educated than themselves. That “brown men” marry white women for status. That “white women” marry “brown men” to be treated like a Goddess because we know a US guy won't. I believe these all speak plainly as to which one of is is the actual imbecile.
Just in case your education did not teach you the meaning of the word racist….here is the definition.
“a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.”
PS: I'm not in grade school anymore, so calling me names and pulling my hair isn't going to get my attention.

5. June 2009 at 2:16 pm
Darkest Dude, I'm not going to edit this comment of yours since I think Aurora is a big girl & can handle being called names by you, but you're right on the line. By generalizing negatively using race, you were, in fact, being racist – the word has a pretty simple definition. However, I don't believe that Aurora has given you any reason to call her “skank”, and it's pretty clear you're just tossing out epitaphs because you can. Personal attacks without basis are not acceptable here. (For anyone wondering, personal attacks towards me, with basis and reasonable language, are acceptable. Not so much cool about attacking others, though.)
Either rein in your tongue, follow the comments policy, and write politely to all posters here, or I'll be perfectly fine showing you the door.
5. June 2009 at 2:40 pm
fortunately you would not fall into this so-called “well qualified ethnic men”…
5. June 2009 at 2:48 pm
Thank you GG….
He's been giving me compliments left and right! First on my Essay writing capabilities, then on my blog and now his views on how I dance rhythmically.
What a nice guy!
I can perfectly see why he is a “well qualified ethnic man”.
5. June 2009 at 3:22 pm
Neither would you.
5. June 2009 at 4:15 pm
Darkest Dude,
The dissident things that you have written have been what us liberals like to call “riding the cusp” of what is socially acceptable. The manner, tone and use of verbiage in your comments show that you are a judgmental, condescending person with a propensity to racism. Whether this is who you really are…does not change that this is who you are showing to us.
To call what you have written an intellectual and social commentary is a farce.
While I believe that some of the things that you have written have validity, the way in which you wrote robbed your comments of all authority or honor.
For instance….your comment from above.
“Hmmm, how many of the Indians who come to the USA end up with white women who are even of equal (let alone more) academic standing in a scientific field? Literally none! That goes even for Fareed Zakaria and Sanjay Gupta.”
So Aditya and the rest of us were wrong to take your writing “Literally None”….uhm literally?
To me, as well as others, your way of wording this implies that either Indian men are superior to white women or that Indian men are incapable of feeling their own worth, self esteem or masculinity if they marry a white woman higher in education than they are. Essentially that they would feel emasculated with a stronger or equal woman.
While I think that both of these ideas or concepts would have made a great topic of debate, your way of writing is offensive. Essentially, they become a derogatory remark.
And yes, I called you an imbecile because your comments are absurd and weak. Only someone with little esteem or respect for himself would lower his own touted “quality” of character to call other people baseless names.
I called you a racist because your comments have proven it. I however, have never acted in any way to resemble or deserve being called a “skank”. If you are not a racist, then prove it by having a real and true intellectual debate without stooping to name calling, condescension, or “ethnic generalizations”. Do you think that this is even possible for you?
If not, then I feel sorry for you. You are a man who has lost his honor, who is not a gentleman and is full of such anger, hate and false superiority that you belittle those you see as being stronger than yourself.
5. June 2009 at 4:28 pm
Oh and one last thing…I hate that I have to point this out to someone so well “educated”…..
Yes, you are absolutely correct that using the terms “white woman”, “Indian guy” or “brown guy” is not, in and of themselves, derogatory or racist. Using them in a negative context is.
Unfortunately for you, that's all you've been doing since your first comment here. Hence the responses.
5. June 2009 at 4:33 pm
I think it's officially time to stop feeding the troll.
5. June 2009 at 10:00 pm
Yeah. Next comment that is not declaring my recipe to divine gets deleted.
Or maybe I'll just lock down the comments thread 'til tempers cool.
6. June 2009 at 2:16 am
You are an unbelievably bigger troll than I ever can, or hope to, be!
“Perhaps by not attacking someone for using a simply defined and used word, based on your own issues with self-worth or inner-judgement.”
That was your reply to my general comment (which possibly didn't apply to you). Attacking someone after reading a single general post is more condescending and judgmental than carefully analyzing your tone and giving a diffident swine like you what she deserved.
“your way of writing is offensive.”
That's because yours was. I haven't left any comments against “Max Mueller's Dharam Patni” similar to the ones I left you, have I? They had good rebuttal points.
When all the other women in this forum have made their points in a legible fashion, you couldn't even go back, read your comments and correct yourself. Failure of doing so resulted in my telling you how ineffably ignorant you are (and write in, deliberately, comments like “literally none!”)
I called you a “skank,” “imbecile” (and “liberal”) because you seem ed to fit the Indian stereotype of the “offensive white girl,” which your comments have proven. So those words weren't baseless by any means.
With this attitude of yours, don't ever think about settling in India, if you have any future plans of doing so.
Getting bent out of shape from an initial comment which you think didn't address you? This is insecurity at its peak! Go back and read the comments and tell me who else have I called names.
Literally none?!?
“Yes, you are absolutely correct that using the terms “white woman”, “Indian guy” or “brown guy” is not, in and of themselves, derogatory or racist. Using them in a negative context is.”
Read this very carefully, ultimate troll! Using those terms even in a negative context is not racist. Is the claim “the Roma of eastern Europe have an average (general) IQ of 70″ racist? The idea that half of the Roma population is retarded is racist to imbecile liberals like you, true to every international journal in psychology.
Of course you are offended, liberal. After trashing the USA with degrading economic and political strategies, the only thing left for you liberals to do is come on the net and get offended by a comment, which explicitly addresses the general trend regarding the Indian-White relationships, and start a nasty altercation.
So I just replied the way Mark Lewin would have!
