Half these people are making a big hoo haa over nothing because it brings them publicity, the other half is doing it because they heard the first half making noise and joined in without first finding out what the issue is.

Juneja Fri, 04 May 2007 10:02:14 +0000 http://www.desidabba.org/2007/05/04/sitayana/#comment-911 Amrita, thanks for posting on this. I checked the two episodes on YouTube and can't help but agree that they are fantastic. It's damm sickening now...to see how fanatic we are becoming day by day. As you rightly pointed, the color of this woman's skin will play a major role in future. People will suitably ignore the fact that there are many...many Indian women who feel the same rejection and Sita-like sentiments as Ms. Paley but just cause she ain't brown, she has no right to express them.

Cue the drum beats baying for her blood. This complex we have when it comes to white people is so ingrained in our psyche that we don’t know whether to celebrate that they’re paying us attention or get angry at the direction taken by their interest.” Share This [...] […] Desidabba on Nina Paley’s work as a cartoonist and why it might just be kicking up a controversy. “Then of course, Paley is a white American woman.
