[Assam] Obama : Anti-Immigrants ? Should go back home in a box?

>What does democracy have to do with racism? Can't a
raging racist 
>country be a a terrific democracy too?

The US DOS has a brief article on Democracy
(http://usinfo.state.gov/products/pubs/whatsdem/whatdm2.htm)
 .  

As we see,  one of the pillar is Minority rights.   So
how a raging racist country can be a terrific
democracy ?  Probably you tried to explain it in your
other mail (quoted below)


>>*** A people can elect thugs, racists and
megalomaniacs to represent 
them.  Does not the Congress party  or the BJP condone
criminals 
among them as a necessary part of their 'democratic' 
ways?

---  So  you think India is a "terrific democracy"?  
Thank you for admitting it .
