in general i find brahmins to be every smart and cunning indians.....they have a pleasant demeanor and seem to be the diplomatic type.
regular indians on the other hand are lying two headed snakes that have a slimy exterior to them.

Being of Brahmin has little to do with skin colour - it's about their place within the Hindu caste system - so I assume that the reference here is to "northerners" rather than "southerners"? Regardless though this whole idea of north superiority over South is a red herring - majority singkies of Indian descent were from Southern Indian extraction and Ceylon thus monopolising the representation of "Indians" - since the FTs started arriving they started crying amaaaa apaaaa because suddenly they no longer are representative as they once worse - a lot of this stems from just ignorance and bad social studies curriculums. Whoever said that only Tamils were Indians!
India Indians are hardly a united lot and the fact that most FTs are fluent in Hindi as well as their regional dialects itself ostracises the Tamils who were only ever told to speak Tamil. Ask Escher what the percentage of. Indians from Kerala in Dubai and the GCC are in comparison to Tamils.
Ironically even though singkies have been encouraged to speak Mandarin this seems to have been a monumental failure as instead of association by language the ah thiongs are chastised based on language. This whole language debacle may be the singular most effective campaign to the singkies uniting as one people under singlish regardless of how racists/prejudiced they have been towards each other over the past 50 years.
