A Sinhalese person, (derogatory).
Sri Lankan Tamils commonly refer to their Sinhalese counterparts as 'Bandas', possibly because Sinhalese people are commonly believed to have migrated to Sri Lanka from Orissa, and Banda is Oriyan for 'penis'.
The Sinhalese have been discriminating against and ethnically cleansing the Tamils from Sri Lanka for more than thirty years, culminating in the Vanni Massacres of April/ May 2009 in which between twenty to forty thousand Tamil civilians are believed to have been secretly massacred by the Sri Lankan Army under the Rajapakse regime. Hence, the hostility felt by Sri Lankan Tamils towards the Sinhalese majority.
Tamils also believe that the domination of Sri Lanka by the Sinhalese is attributable to brute force and positive discrimination rather than intellectual ability.

Banda
Banda ("band") refers to the form of music played by large brass ensembles that first appeared in the northern Mexican state of Sinaloa several decades ago by German immigrants. Similar to Polka, a typical banda ensemble features trumpets, trombones, tubas, accordians and percussion instruments, and may include keyboards. String instruments are used sparingly, if at all. Banda sounds somewhat similar to American Big Band music, but with a distinctive Mexican twist. It's loved by pollos, paisas, mojados,frijoleros,tijuaneros,borrachos, wetbacks and beaners everywhere.

The drawn bandas are a band of French-Canadian bandits who distribute comic books to the public. They ride on horseback and wear little black masks like the hamburglar. They often appear on people's birthdays, presenting them with the comic book they desire most before riding dramatically off into the sunset.
