I guess not. Wikipwedia Promoters of urine therapy believe urine to have many preventative and curative powers. Some cultures have traditionally used urine as a medicine, especially India's, where it is prescribed by the Shivambu Kalpa Vidhi, which (among other uses and prescriptions) suggests massaging one's skin with aged, concentrated urine.

I'm not sure why you get all defensive about, you asked a question and i'm trying to elaborate you the facts. I interpreted it as an insult, I guess it was not. However my main question that I meant to ask was why Chinese and Indians living in AMERICA/developed nations don't interbreed or mix together so often. Most of them are students, and the Indians that grow up in America don't really mix together with chinese that often either. Oh and Aphelion I have seen way worse things in China the time I was living in Beijing. To Steroid: I feel inferior by your vast knowledge of Indian culture, it even breaches the depths of the space-time continuum, do tell me more. You are the collective consciousness of all perceptions outsiders have of Indians in general, I would like you to enlighten me! | ||

i can tell you, even in my country (multiracial, chinese malays indians) and there's no racism or anything, there still aren't many "interracial" couples. btw your question sounds really weird, you coulda phrased that better | ||

1. indians stay with indians, (there are the few exceptions, but a majority of indian families want their children to "breed" with other indians) 2. Chinese people are same way. They don't even like going to other asia races...the younger maybe... but during marriage ages (25+) then they tend to stick to chinese. this can be contributed to many factors. some people named a few already. but at the end of the day, the chinese/indian person wants (or their parents want *pressure*) them to keep their chinese/indian culture alive. don't get me wrong, there are many accounts of people of different backgrounds marrying, and breeding, etc... its 2007... not 1200AD. | ||

(hence, steriods comment) | ||

Crossing over to another sub-culture is rare. Also it's true that most Chinese people would find dark skin extremely unappealing, Moltke is right, most Chinese parents, at least first generation ones, see emulating caucasians or marrying caucasians as a step "up" the social ladder Their mindset is if they were going to marry a minority why not just marry another Chinese And there's the problem of negative stereotyping, Indians get all the bad stereotypes that Asian men in general have, plus smelliness and hairiness | ||

Maybe something to ponder about.. Nowadays, you rarely see Chinese breeding with Indians, as much as long time ago. Centuries ago, people didn't base anything on skin color etc. But now its complicated. | ||
