Denver Post/Author - “I regret causing pain to good people.... |

An extremely hateful column "A history of racial tension" appeared at Denver
Post on April 28, 2004. The article was authored by Pius Kamau, a thoracic
and general surgeon and a commentator on National Public Radio in USA.
This "racist" article issue was published at IndiaCause website on Friday,
April 30 and was also circulated to our membership on the weekend. After
receiving strong reaction from the Indian community, Denver Post responded by
publishing author’s regret and the Editor’s Note.
Denver Post Editor's note starts with: "An op-ed column last Wednesday by
contributor Pius Kamau stirred up much interest and considerable anger,
reflected in these letters to the editor......"
The author, Dr.Pius Kamau’s, comment ends with: “I regret causing pain to
good people with my unguarded illustrations and words.”
We hope, in future, the editors at Denver Post would display the basic skills
and the knowledge of the Indian community prior to publishing such
"pre-meditated hate articles" against the Indians and the Hindus based on the
author’s personal prejudices and bigoted views.
IndiaCause Thanks our readers and members for their support on this issue.
