CBA is owned by the Kenyatta family.

In my books muhindi used in the above context is derogatory, wouldn't it sound better to call it an Asian bank - am I over-reacting?

no GG you are not over-reacting. Most of them are 3-4th generation Kenyan and dont appreciate being called "muhindi" I have a bunch of friends in the community and a good number of them can't even speak hindi or gujerati..

what this guru says is not correct...why should he/she be called "INDIAN"(a citizen of India) yet, he/she still has to get a visa to go to India??
BTW, guru, "Indian" isnt a race, its a "Nationality"!! So are you trying to say that these banks are owned by "Indian (ie foreign) nationals"???

Another observation, most people my age(in their 20s) dont refer to others by their ethnicity or race....its some of the older guys n gals who start distinguishing people along ethnic/racial divides"huyo ni Mjaruo or muhindi etc"

I think the question was "who(as an individual)" rather than what race/ethnicity owns a particular bank

Kama mtu ni Mhindi ni Mhindi!

@ horton there is a book aptly titled the capitalist kneegrow that will dissuade you of the notion that a mhindi may be something else other than

ethnicity in banking is nothing new..all the banks in the federal reserve system are historically jewish
