'Indians are bastards anyway'. As an Indian, what would be my response?
Once a man abused Buddha using ugly words, obscene words. When the man had finished his abuse, the Buddha asked him, saying: "Son, if a man declined to accept a present made to him, to whom would it belong?" And he answered: "In that case it would belong to the man who offered it." Buddha said: “In the same way I decline to accept your abuse, and request you to keep it yourself. If I don’t accept your obcenity, your ugly words-if I don’t accept them, what can you do? What are you going to do with all this garbage that you have come with? You will have to take it back to your home. Insulting me is your problem, and I have nothing to do with it. I can simply listen and go on my way”.
Therefore I would say: "I am cool man, keep it with ya".
Well said, Madhu. And thanks for linking to my weblog!
