You really can't compare the 2, because some Sikhs are actually diverse. 1.Whites, 2. Blacks, 3. Hispanics, 4. East Asians, 5. Punjabi. Most Sikhs are Punjabi culturally, but there still is diversity.

What's a Coconut?

A coconut is a term when someone is brown on the outside and white on the inside.

Do Americans spend all day looking directly into the sun? I can't see how it should have escaped their notice that she is clearly a white woman with a mediocre fake tan.

While I don't know how to feel about her racial appropriation, this web of lies that she spun is shameful.

The black community she supposedly represents is taking it in good spirit. Some of the banter on Twitter is hilarious.

Well what's the difference between being brown on the inside and white on the inside?

Please explain.

A coconut is a person of Asian (subcontinental) origin who are ashamed of their origins and considers themselves as being white whilst not actually openly admitting this.

The issue in regards to Rachel Dolzel is that she is a white person who considers herself black, particularly with this term "trans-racial",using fake tan, perming her hair, braiding her hair.

I can see equivalencies in the subcontinental community with the fair and lovely skin lightening cream, fake green/blue contact lenses as well as bleached blonde hair to make themselves more European looking.

Thanks for that.

So the expression is not really a slur against white Europeans but rather a slur against those who would disown their own culture in order to imitate white Europeans.

I've often found it quite ironic when talking to some Indians or Punjabi's in that because I am white I sense they are trying to say the right thing to me to try to impress me

that they are good citizens and just want to try to fit in. I mean they don't really know me but immediately they take the position of "hey, we are just like you".

Sometimes I feel like screaming because in my mind we should be learning from Asian people, learning what a lot of us in the west have forgotten namely family loyalty and duty to one's kith and kin. If I concentrate on just the Punjabi people I speak to there seems to be a lack of confidence in some of them like they don't really know where they are and how they should fit in and it seems sometimes an apologetic tone of voice appears when they talk about being Asian.

This is crazy talk because you have so much to be proud of and it does pain me when I listen to some of the younger guys who have lost or are deliberately distancing themselves from their cultural heritage.

And the very worst thing I see is some Asian people trusting or looking up to others simply because they are white.

I am no self loathing white man, but let me tell you I have met many dodgy, wouldn't trust them as far as I could spit white people.

Totally selfish and don't care about anyone, not even their own families, would rip anyone off and are full of lies and deceit.

I mean does this post make sense, or am I imagining all this?
