Anti-indian cam sites. Is that Racist?

Got a friend who's back home in India now -- so I'm trying to tell him what sites are hot and good cam deals. Well blow me down, but half the ones don't work for him.

Well I know a few people to ask so what I get back is the answer that they block anybody who is india! "They haven't got any credit". Nonsense of course -- my pal is an ivy leager who works for a fortune 500 now and I've seen his credit and it's a lot better than mine! Only thing is his ma and pa are from India, so that's where he goes visiting of course.

So if that aint racial selection I don't know what is -- blocking an entire COUNTRY of people! Geez. Evil or Very Mad

What they gonna do next, ban New Orleans? I hear lots of people there don't have credit either! Rolling Eyes

Racial profiling at its best, huh? Bad enough you can't drive a car through certain neighborhoods without getting pulled over - now you can't even enjoy a hot cam session?

Seriously though - is India the ONLY country that they do this to? I can understand the financial incentive to avoid doing business somewhere with a reputation for being poor customers, but it can't be JUST India, can it?

Didn't ask -- I guess not -- they lump all the "no credit" countries together. But where does the logic come from that Indians have no credit? Sure it's a poor country but it's also HUGE -- the top 1% are gonna have a lot more money than you are me and that'll be a lot of people all together.

No, they just decide hey they look brown and dirty so they gotta all be poor -- or crooks! Twisted Evil

They've got their own kind of logic. Not that it's right, mind you, but it's the same kind of reasoning that is all through the adult entertainment industry. It basically goes 'Why do we need the hassle? We make plenty of money without them."

In agreement with what has been said so far, I would like to add, it is not right.

I know they r making lot of money but do we know the fact that India is growing thick and fast as a World economic power.

not allowing them to pay for something they can pay and watch doesnt seem logical.

they would not allow access on credit basis. it would be watch and get charged. so where is the problem.

Also, not to be in derogatory terms, indians are crazy about sex (as opposed to being prude.). The display may not be public but they are ready to dole out large sum of money for sex in the closed room.

I am sure, giving access to India is gonna be really beneficiary for the webcam sites.

Any comments....? Smile

I'm in agreement here as well. There are plenty of people in America and wherever else who have way less than satisfactory credit, but these things are available. There are those in India who definitely have good credit just like anyone else. Shoot, we all have hard times that hurt our credit. A person can pay for one mistake for a really long time, but racial profiling like that is ridiculous. Might as well cut off half the world or more.

Of course it isn't just India. It's all over the place. Credit is just a part of it, but definitely not all of it if you know what i mean.

I'm new here and I saw this. It just reminded me of the fact that we're all discriminated against in some way or another. Which, we're all in agreement here that no one should be discriminated against, but as far as the cam sessions go, I know the site owners make tons of money, but they could make so much more if they didn't discriminate against a particular population.

They are doing a HUGE dis-service to themselves by excluding anyone. I could write an essay on the social implications, but I'll stick to just the financial aspect of it for this forums sake.

The financial aspect alone is pretty damaging to those companies that choose not to accept customers from any country - but hey, I'd be interested in your take on other ways they hurt themselves too!

In a nutshell......it is perpetuating racism on all levels.

I suppose I am one of those bleeding heart liberals who truly do have a vision of one day our world being color, country and social class blind. Granted I probably won't see it in my day, nor my great great great grandkids day, but I do believe it is possible. With some effort from everyone of course!

When a person, a company, etc.. says for example "No Indians Allowed"....well, that makes them obviously biased against certain people. THEN....the person/people discriminated against of course are offended and they remember. When the shoe gets put on the other foot they may very well be inclined to discriminate against those who discriminated against them in the past.

We only need to look at black/white relations now to see how far the reprecussions can go back and how long it can take to make even the smallest dent in a positive direction.

That is racist and totally sick, I think it should be illegal myself. I would never have thought a company would do that. i always figured that they would take a buck anywhere they could find it, and really like there are not plenty ofpeople in India who have tons of cash. That's messed up.

What gets me is, don't you have to pay up front for the service anyways? So it is not like someone can really skip out on a payment to the web cam service right? I mean even if they did not pay their credit card bill, or whatever, the cam company still got their money already, it is the credit card company tht would be out of their money, no?

that is terrible, really terrible, that kind of crap really makes me mad. I live in Canada and we have a huge Indian population here and let me tell you they are anything but poor, they have way more money that I do that is for sure! Of course some, okay many, people there are poor but so what, the poverty level in the States is not so hot either and EVERYONE there is able to get approved for the sites, right? GRRRRR

THat is terrible, I think it is totally racist too. I just can't see howt hat is a very good business decision.. Does it coest money to make it available in countries like India? Is this why they are not doing it too, do you think?
