| It is but natural for australians of indian origin to condone racist attacks on indian students or mis-name them as thefts. After all they make a decision to migrate there and are supposed to deal with the racism problem without GOI help. But this is not about them as their tax dollars do not go to pay the indan bureaucratics' wage bill. It is about GOI protecting its citizens in a foreign land. On the other hand, taxes paid by indian students go to oz economy and the police there should afford the students protection from racism. It is not as if the white aussie population does not flaunt its ipods, motorbikes, big cars, boats, designer clothes etc. If they are not racially attacked for such flaunting then indian students too should not be harmed/attacked for having an ipod / mobile & whatever else. |

| With all due respect I personally feel that this whole racism issue has been blown out of propotion. I happened to have lived in Switzerland, Florida and Australia - Adelaide to be precise!!! I had a wonderful time there and to be honest I have seldom had any issues. The fact with majority of Indian students is that when they go abroad they tend to stick to each other and not even tyr to mix with any other nationality especially if they are from the West. They tend to hang out in groups go every where in groups and at many times do not even repsect the do's and dont's of the country they are in. A plain examnple is student gatherings or the so called DESI Parties - 99% of them turn out into fights as students get drunk and start acting like they are unbeatable. By creating scenes of this sort they themselves invite trouble and at the same time intimidate the Westerners. Its quite pathetic how most Indian students act in the Western world and unfortunatly due to a few indecent students all others get generalized. I my self have seen Indian students abusing and harrasing australians when they are out numbered. For crying our loud you are not in your own country - you are out there to gain a better education and probaly a better life!!!!! Every place has racism look at India - let me see a Bhramin family welcoming a Christian/Muslim boy or girl!!!! Ozzies have their own issues calling each other wog boys and lebos Germany/Switzerland or Autria call all the Albanians, Turks, Asians and Croatians Ausslanders Dutch call the mixed asians PINDA (Peanuts) I just feel that people should let the Australian law enforcement to do their job and move on. |
