Prejudice or common sense?

I was recently watching this discussion on TV… about the Aussies attacking Indians. Reporting on how skin heads have now started Indian barbeque with much success… Close to a billion people feel that the attacks are racial.. You only need a pea sized brain to figure this out.. The Aussie high commissioner, however, insists that here is not enough evidence yet to suggest that the attacks are racially motivated, and recommends that we wait for the investigations to complete…  Yeah Mr. Commissioner, when dozens of us are beaten to pulp by blokes twice our size, it is silly of us to think that the attacks are racially motivated.

To quote the high commissioner, “We don’t think that racism is a substantial motive or course in these cases. What we are saying here essentially is a pattern of urban crime”

And to think all this time we were concerned that the attacks are racially motivated… Whew! What a relief to know that we are getting roasted not because we are Indian, but because of a “pattern of urban crime”. Of course, all the chanting of “Go back to India!” and “Give me back my taxi” while the poor chap is beaten black and blue is only to trick us into believing that it is racially motivated, when actually, it is not… ta..nanana.. Oh, and the fact that almost every black and blue roasted piece of meat was once an Indian student is just sheer co-incidence… How dumb of us Indians to fret about this and issue advisories.

Anyway, to all my Aussie brothers who have no intention of smashing a face into a curb,

1. Thanks…
2. Pls speak to other Aussies about what an image is being created about Australia and its people…

And to my Indian friends there… Stay strong, and stay safe!


PS: Mr. High Commissioner, your line of reasoning is encouraging a lot of misbehavior on flights here in India. Passengers who have been caught feeling up the air hostesses are insisting that they were merely frisking them, which is an “urban trend” – what with frisking happening at all malls, stores, offices, etc. They now insist that future offenders should not be deplaned until all investigations are complete…

  1. Really nice post... Stinging sarcasm.. Hope those aussie punkhead politicians use their grey matter instead of just drinking foster all day and take some action ASAP.
