obsession with mittal's skin color

jan 30th

reading between the lines, white guys are really not very happy to see an indian buy up their companies. the fact that mittal steel is a european company does not mollify them.

amazing, despite all their preaching to india, how they do not see that money has no color. mittal has become the world's 3rd richest man despite the fact that he is brown, not because of it!

if i were a betting man, i'd short arcelor right now. because the bid will not go through, and arcelor stock will take a big hit. actually that may be mittal's Plan B -- hurt his biggest competitor.

when white guys put money into other countries, it's 'FDI', a wonderful thing. if non-whites put money into white countries, it's 'colonialism'. the white guys must have learned their semantics from the indian marxists whose best is 'secular intervention', such a gem!
