Here comes the famous Kalar ("nigger") care of Dr Maung Zarni -

There is presently extreme and unprecedented rhetoric and criticism and alleged ethnic cleansing against the Rohingya or Burmese Muslims of Western Burma. Dr Maung Zarni of London School of Economics has received a lot of flack for defending the Rohingya. "Kalar" is a derogatory term used against Indians or foreigners in Burma - e.g. Europeans used to be called "kalar hpyu" or "white kalar" Image posted with permission.
