I'm talking about the type of pride and hatred that makes people spend hours in a thread like this, plus the fanatics that want to kill everybody. Everybody has stereotypes in their heads, whether they admit it or not. Everybody has certain ideas about other cultures, and because it's different, they tend to consider it 'wrong', even if it's only subconsciously. That's what I'm referring to, and it'll never go away I'm sure, because people won't let it because they're too proud.
I have nothing against simply being proud of what your people have accomplished or whatever, but even that is based on dividing yourself from everyone else.
Incidentally, I do think Indians are very attractive people in general (though of course there are some butt ugly ones, just like every other race, but Indians tend to have a higher percentage of 'do-ables'). :-D And I like the few that I know, but of course that's a small number to base general opinions on.
