Dear Kabir "Kabeezy" Singh,
I attended Berkeley Bollywood and was very impressed with how well
it was put together. However, to be blunt, I did not enjoy you as a
host. Many of your jokes were borderline - or way past the border -
racist, leaving me, my Indian, and my Asian friends very offended. You
said that as an Indian you would rather be called Asian as opposed to
Middle Eastern, implying that you doesn't want to be associated with
Middle Easterners. You later talked about how all the "white kids"
have a handshake where they bump fists and "explode" their hands - but
you can't do that because you?re "brown" and can't go around blowing
things up. This is offensive. After the Berkeley Ishaara performance,
you implied that the female lead was cast because of her Caucasian
race, completely disregarding her immense talent. Your comment about
Indians working at Fry's offended for two reason: firstly, saying that
"white guys" assume you work there because you are Indian reinforced
your consistent theme of white ignorance, and secondly, the entire
joke placed a group of people in seemingly inferior work category.
Your jokes about the lack of Indian athletes were offensive on
multiple levels. Your claim that your friends brag about athletes
within their respective races (i.e. African Americans talk about Kobe,
white people talk about Steve Nash etc.) insinuates universal race
based allegiance. Then your Spelling Bee bit favored the athletic
accomplishments of certain racial groups over the academic
accomplishments of other groups. By placing academics, singling out
Indians, below athletes, you not only discounted the achievements of
the Indian population and furthered the stereotype of incompetency,
but also attributed athletic and academic ability to race. The lack of
Indian athletes in this country should not imply inferiority. This
Academics vs. Athletes comparison was not just offensive on a racial
level, but also affected anyone who has ever felt inferior for having
ability that is brain as opposed to brawn. Your racist and
discriminatory jokes detracted from an otherwise great night, and I
hope that next time you visit Berkeley you remember that this is a
tolerant and accepting community and act accordingly. Thank you.
Sincerely,
xxxxxxxxx
