Why is it racist to discuss Indian nepotism? Racism can often take the form of an individual giving preferred status to others who share their own race over others, and examples are frequently, rightfully, pointed out when white people give preferred status over non-whites. But if white people are capable of doing this, is it really that unbelievable that non-white individuals and groups are also capable of this? If not, then how is pointing out racism perpetrated by Indian individuals, itself, a racist act?
