Forgive me if I've missed the point of this, but since when has 'Indian', referring to the political entity 'India', been a race? This is about as scandalous as a Canadian bank offering Canadian dollar services to ex-pat Canucks, but because (mostly)* brown skins are involved it's suddenly become a race issue, yeah, right.

If I see issues change because the colour of people's skins change, then it's reasonable to conclude there's racism somewhere, but it may be nearer to home than you think.

*Presumably the thousands of white/mixed race people of Indian descent are eligible for this, too.
