I spent my summer and in Kenya and the one thing that really got to my nerves is how the indians treat kenyans even older ones and how indians go about forgeting that Kenya belongs to Kenyans and that one day we can decide to send 'em all back to India.
Yani tuna kanyagwa kama gasia in our own country. this is sad.

while i was in kenya i worked for the following people

- a singh - left when i came abroad. he was young and very good to me. I was actually in-charge when he was away.

- a pakistani - left when i came abroad (i had two jobs). considered me as part of his family. he treated me like his son. the kindest man i ever met. God bless him. His patner was ruthless though he is the one who recruited me.

- a kalejin -still owes me my salary. Though I used his office to make money on the side. i'm still in touch with him, but i keep my distance and he has to pay upfront for any dealings. he has asked that i go see him in Dec as he has some ideas he wants my input.

- a kikuyu - the guy just came to work one day and fired everyone. to this day I have no idea what cut.

- a luhya - this guy was the devil himself. he underpaid everyone but it was my first job.

It's not just in Kenya, asians like to remain exclusively to themselves even here in Australia. Vent up attitude if you cross some wierd social line in which you were unaware of.. But, they're very hard workers here. We have lots of asian doctors etc. here. When I was in Kenya they treated me exactly the same as the locals which was great, because the local Kenyans looked at me like moneybags. Pole if you had a bad experience with them..

I guess it all depends on who you are dealing with. The asians in Kenya may treat Kenyans badly because we treat each other as such.

Walk into a restaurant in Nairobi with an Asian and a Mzungu and sit at different tables. If you are an African, I guarantee you will be served last if at all.

Kenyans got to appreciate themselves. We look at these light skinned pple as if they are God. We prioritise to serve them first instead of fellow kenyans. A kenyan dude can que for 5 hrs in sun, and a mzungu comes n he/she does not even que, gets served directly. When u come to white mans country, no one appreciates us still. I wish we all went Mugabe style, we could have some respect for us.

Hey glo85ria I was just reading your posting and would like to put something straight.

That quote I have just quoted about what you said in your posting is very arrogant and stuck up the way you say it.

First of all the indians in Kenya some of them are rude and discriminating, I have experienced this myself from the banianis etc and I know it.

Second of all ati Kenya belongs to Kenyans and we can decide to send them all to India?? hahaha you make me laugh because you know what? many belong to that same country you suggest they are sent out of and have resided in Kenya over a century and could not be thrown out of their own homeland.

First of all, get it into your thick head that kenyans of Indian origin are Kenyans and have been here long enough to call it home. Seeing them as outsiders will not change anything as Kenya belongs to them too.

Whether the black Kenyans like it or not, it cannot be changed brought here against their will. We are Kenyans and because the black are a majority everything goes as they say which is fine, but never will Indians be outsiders in Kenya never, its a fact that many Black kenyans choose to ignore, well its written on paper.

Secondly I see black Kenyans as Kenyan and as equal to me. No way will I ever/or have looked down upon black Kenyans in anyway.

I thought I should let you know how ignorant and stupid you sound.

Read your post and think again.

Bless.

glo85ria, I am sorry for what you have gone through. In these times after seeing what is going on in the world, one should stop and think before saying hateful things. This is exactly what is happening between Shia and Suni, Hindu and Muslim, Catholic and Protestant, Jew and Palestinian. Instead of spreading hate for wrong of the past we should preach LOVE & UNITY. I am a Kenyan of Indian origin and have lived with my fellow Kenyan Kikuyus and Luos amicably all my life. My beloved late father brought me up that way. My best friends whom I consider family are Maina and the late Ngugi. We were there for each other from teenhood to date. There was no occasion happy or sad in all our families lives that we were not actively involved in. I drove the car in which Maina's parents went to and from church to renew their wedding vows. They sat at the head table with me at my wedding. The have even named me Njuguna which I answer to with honour. We are all accepted as sons in each others families. I in turn have passed this trend of love and brotherhood to my three children.
Bless you and hope you spread love in all your walk of life. Any little thing you do will go a long way to improve this world and therefore Kenya and us individually.
