This may not apply to you, JenStar, but I've often found that doctors/therapists seem to lose their enthusiasm for taking me on as a new patient (and can consequently come across as snooty) once they learn that I belong to an HMO. It's unfortunate, but I can understand their reluctance (and sometimes refusal) to deal with my very bureaucratic health insurance provider.
PinkEye, where I live (in New York) is a large South Asian community. I always wondered why the sari merchants in my neighborhood put blonde wigs on the mannequins in their shop windows. Your comment that fairness is "highly longed for" by the people of India explains this practice to me and, also, the sadness I feel every time I pass one of those windows.tt
