Great article published by Kal on Huffington Post in response to Time writer Joel Stein‘s hideously racist douche baggery in an article he wrote, “My Own Private India“:
I want to applaud Joel Stein for his hilarious account of Edison, New Jersey in his Time magazine article this week, “My Own Private India”; it is as unique and groundbreaking as Thomas Alva himself.Were it not for the intelligent, fresh sense of humor of individuals like Mr. Stein, the world may never know about Americans who happen to be of Indian descent. Gags about impossibly spicy food? I’d never heard those before! Multiple Gods with multiple arms? Multiple laughs! Recounting racial slurs like “dot-head”? Oh, Mr. Stein, is too good! I don’t know how he comes up with such unique bits. (I was worried that he’d missed an opportunity to joke about Dr. King’s predecessor, Gandhi, but I see that he got to that hilarity on Twitter. More never-before-heard satire!
Read More @ Huffington Post and PLEASE let Time know that this is unacceptable by making your voice heard – call or write the magazine, or if you’re feeling brave tweet @TheJoelStein and let him know what you think of the awful things he said. This happened in America and in the year 2010, and it’s absolutely disgraceful.
