Big Bubba Is Against Body Modification
I had a great time avoiding body modification. Amputation because of diabetes complications is a chilling thought. Last night, and this morning, I visited Audie Murphy Veteran's Administration Hospital (AMVAH) out of concern for an ulcer on my foot. I had, as usual, great care and treatment at the hands of the teasippers. That’s right folks when the old Aggie, Big Bubba, visits Audie Murphy there is usually one, or more, TU Medical School interns involved with his care and treatment. Talk about multiculturalism! One of the teasippers was a sweet, young lady doctor from New Jersey. New Jersey! Can this multicultural thingy be carried too far?
Last night I saw a Dr. Patel. Normally show Big Bubba a Patel and I will show you a motel, but, here I was being cared for by this Indian Patel doctor. Nice guy. Seriously, the Patels are the Indian Smiths and they are everywhere. Today, in the talking elevator, "esta bajando," while bajando-ing, or whatever the heck you are supposed to do in a Spanish speaking elevator I observed a potential terrorist looking type in a white hospital coat. I noticed he did have an official name tag that said his name was Dr. Mohammed. Despite his looking like Dr. Patel I took the initiative and said, "hey, where are you from, Pakistan?" He was impressed and asked me how I knew. I told him that he looked Indian (he didn’t seem to take offense) but I saw his name so I knew he had to be Pakistani. Every Pakistani that I have ever met here has been really nice people.
Indian doctors, like Dr. Patel, are usually really great physicians. They speak great English with a really greatly funny accent. Coincidentally the only ethnic accent (other than God’s English, the Southern dialect) that I do really effectively is Indian. They are our cousins, folks. There is a reason why English is an INDO-European language. Will someone please explain something to Big Bubba? I hang around the VA and I am amazed by whole herds of teasipper students who are Chinese, Vietnamese, Indian, New Jerseyite and all sorts of ethnics. I see a real immigration policy problem here that someone in our government needs to address. These people are not being properly briefed on how prejudice works in our WASP democracy. No one has explained to them that minorities cannot succeed in the United States because of prejudice. If these people really understood how our democracy works they would come to their senses and put down those stethoscopes and pick up a mop. Let's get real people!

I've had the similar, positive experience of receiving medical treatment from "foreign docs," all excellent professionals. Education is, and always has been, the key to achieving the American dream. Bleeding hearts should quit whining about certain perceived prejudices. I certainly don't want any of MY excellent foreign-born medical professionals picking up a mop.
Some of these students are on the US Tax payer dole or that of a foriegn government. I have no problem with India as it is a reliable ally.
Yet I would rather see students from more reliable allies then Pakistan get priority. Poland is a great ally let their students get a priority over a Saudi Arabia.
Hope your foot comes out okay Big Bubba. You seem to be enjoying your new status a blogger better every day.
I spend less time at FPM but I miss
Donal , Canadian Steve and Neptune. I will try to get Jimbo to pay a visit.
Remember I am running an electronic
bar segment today. It is a great way to introduce non readers to your site.
I am miffed. I just "lost" a comment you will love. The technical problem reminded Big Bubba of his humble role as a cog in the invention of the internet. Never mind that putz Algore's delusional claims about his being the inventor. I didn't see him there. I'll write more about this later. Now let me get back to trying to remember what I was writing.
To the tinfoil hats, Robin, Big Bubba has made an important conspiracy theory discovery. I think that the Indians are actually the fifth column for the twelve Jewish banker guys who control the globe. Think about it. They are rich professionals, a close knit community and practice a different religion. What do you think, Beakerkins? Could it be possible?
You have to go read this absolutely fascinating article about Indians. Don’t get discouraged with the opening story. Read further down about the Englishman Osburne, computers, and some really interesting statistics about Indians. I was wrong about my fifth column theory. These people are wealthy enough to buy the twelve Jewish bankers and start their own world control conspiracy theory.
You think Big Bubba was crazy to say show him a motel and he would show you a Patel. Read the statistics closely, pal. That’s just like Big Bubba’s other famous observation, “show me a Mexican and I’ll show you a Marine.” What’s that you say? That one is an Army paratrooper? One or the other, pal, one or the other. Check it out, folks, very little gets past Big Bubba.

Anti Hindu and Indian predjudice in NYC is a real problem . The intolerant left call the BJP the New Likud in NYC.
The slander said about Hiduism is appalling. I guess the same people that lecture us about tolerance for Islam show no respect for Hinduism. I have several friends in the Indian American community. Did you know that 1/10 of Indians are Christians ?
Personally I like Indians and find them fascinating. Did you know that in parts of India there are close knit communities of Anglo-Indians who follow English culture?
I have also known several Pakistanis professionally. One gentleman I did business with for years administering his government contract with my agency. He was the spokesman for the Muslim community on our local TV after 9-11. He was formerly a scientist with NASA before coming to San Antonio. The Pakistanis that I know are very nice people.
Don't forget that Muslims in the Indian and Pakistan regions slaughtered Hindus. A Pakistani (Hindu) business acquaintance of mine cited the persecution by Muslims as one reason for his immigration here. Sorry that I don't have the dates for the persecutions; many textbooks don't include the information.
Recently, in Fairfax County, Virginia, when new social-studies texts were being considered, a group of Hindus led a very effective and quiet protest to the texts' glossing-over of the conflict mentioned above. The County has now promised to include a teacher-taught unit on the material, but I doubt that many of the teachers know the details of what they're supposed to teach.
BTW, Wahhabists/Sunnis simply will not tolerate Sufis, the mystically oriented branch of Islam; Rudyard Kipling wrote about Sufis and their various folk legends. If I recall correctly, Sufi Muslims were mercilessly slaughtered in the Indian and Pakistan regions.
I could make the same statement about Turks. All the ones I have met are very nice, yet the massacres. Am I the only one or does Islam seem to be the common denominator? It is difficult to take seriously a religious system that advocates intolerance, genocide and repression of the human spirit.
