Was Mahatma Gandhi a racist?

particularly vulnerable children who are victims.

Fairly certain you get called racist for attempting such

Not all the victims are children, many are young adults. No one would get called racist for protecting victims if they were trying to highlight all perpetrators.

How are you going to protect victims if you have to be all hush hush about the perps?

Just stay quiet during the trial and that is how you protect victims and punish perpetrators.

LOL.....and no memes

Concentrating solely on the plight of the Indians while ignoring the plight of the blacks doesn't make Gandhi a racist, nor does it diminish from the great things he did.

Considering blacks/Africans inferior and referring to them in degrading fashion..... that's racist.

Any questions?

Yes, plenty of questions. What is wrong with considering them inferior? I consider East Indians to be inferior to Black Americans in basketball does that make me a racist? I consider Mexicans to be inferior to Germans in learning the English language, does that make me a racist? I consider Armenians to be superior in learning Arabic and Farsi to Haitians and Jamaicans does that make me a racist? Mahatma Gandhi considered those people in South Africa inferior to Indians and he was referring to there spirit of entrepreneur ism and pragmatic and Progressive actions regarding education.

I think we both know that when you add those qualifiers, you're skewing the argument. Of course East Indians are generally inferior to Black Americans in basketball.

But when you have a quote like this:

In 1893, Gandhi wrote to the Natal parliament saying that a "general belief seems to prevail in the Colony that the Indians are better than savages or the Natives of Africa".


Then that in itself is racist.

He did. Read the article.

He was a product of his time, so he would have held prevailing beliefs. Even today, Indians in Africa think they are superior to black Africans .

Just because he held views that people don't agree with nowadays, it does not diminish his achievements. People seem to be rewriting history according to their own moral code.

Muhammad Ali was an incorrigible racist when he was young too.
