Re: Has to be Racist Surely
Course it's racist... apart from one fatal flaw. Only white people can be racist. (Or so it seems)

Re: Has to be Racist Surely
Not racist.
Has to be this way to comply with the Indian Banking Regulations. probably for the same reason that if a similar scheme was available in India, it would only be open to people of UK origin.
And stop calling me Shirley!

They make it damn hard to get one! When my wife first moved here from Canada a lot of banks refused to give her an account. And the bank that finally gave her an account made her jump through all sorts of hoops.

It may just have to do with taking out a loan in Rupees, which could be construed as taking currency out of India (which the Indian government is not very fond of), and which may be allowed for people with ties to India, but not others. Odd yes, but not necessarily racist. But then again, I'm just guessing here.

Re: Has to be Racist Surely
Looks like an exceptionally good marketing ploy to me.

Re: Has to be Racist Surely
I wouldn't call playing the race card "exceptionall good marketing" - had this been to the detriment of Indian customers I'm sure you'd be quite vocal in your protests.
