Some pastel colors are easier on the eye. I used to tell my foreign* girlfriend that she looked like a walking candy necklace in her native dress.
That being said, I second your statement about Pipedot's color scheme being way more pleasing to the eye. And Pipedot's wicked-cool logo...man, if that's another thing Pipedot got right, it was having a contest for its readership to submit their own designs.
However, both Pipedot and SN are all about the discussions -- and for those, speaking from a naïve user's perspective, SN wins hands-down.

I was left wondering what words he would have otherwise used to specify her nationality. Unless he calls her a "ching chong curry munching sheep fucking nigger" I can't imagine too many ways you could describe nationalities in such a way that it would be considered racist hate speech, but that's just me.

Indian is unfortunately ambiguous when used in the United States and can be taken that way.

It used to mean Native Americans....
Nowadays it is interchangeable with the expression 'H-1B'....
