......In the wake of the continuous racist comments on the Channel 4 series-Big Brother -against an Indian participant by the other participants of the show....

***************************************************************************

Do you feel more intensely?
Do you see more vividly?
Is your intellect superior?
Then why do you leer? ?

Does your heart beat any better?
Does your skin get any wetter?
Do your lungs need any less air?
Then why do swear? ?

Did you come out in this world any other way?
Did God give you a special bouquet?
Is dark skin a sin as per?
Then why do you differ?
