i associate white people with colonialism, war, drones and death. but i don't really judge all whites based on that, i tend to judge each person individually and i did have some white friends in high school. if that makes me a racist, i am okay with being racist.

Drones were used in India long before white people started making them.

yeah but they are used by the u.s.

if my opinion offends anyone, that is really not my intention. this is just from my perspective as someone who grew up in the middle east.

India still uses them like they have been for hundreds of years. Don't give the U.S. all the credit

You might want to recheck that, since drone is pretty rare in the US and in India it's as popular as Mozart.
