Racism In Asia
After the 1971 Indo-Pak War, non-Bengalis, specifically Biharis and other Muslim refugees from India suffered from active ethnic discrimination. They are not considered full-fledged citizens of Bangladesh and until recently were not allowed to vote. The Bangladesh government now allows Biharis born after 1971 to vote in elections to the legislature.

“Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)

“So-called Western Civilization, as practised in half of Europe, some of Asia and a few parts of North America, is better than anything else available. Western civilization not only provides a bit of life, a pinch of liberty and the occasional pursuance of happiness, it’s also the only thing that’s ever tried to. Our civilization is the first in history to show even the slightest concern for average, undistinguished, none-too-commendable people like us.”
