They were always like that, it is just that the earlier generation were a bit more hardworking than the present one so racism was something like a weekend pass time, now with the present young generation growing up in an atomsphere of decline in social values, this is what is to be expectedvsudhir wrote:Why are the formerly cool n hip Aussies such racist jerks? Or were they always like this?
I also hope desis don't spend a cent of their hard earned money on racist trashcans like Air Fwance and $hitsih Airways. The more I hear about them, the worse it gets.
Yup, time also to shine a light on Ozzie apartheid and genocide against hapless aborigines, on the sidelines.
Course, expect them to digup every towel and blot about Yindia. Fair enough, take some when you dish out anyway.
The difference between this chinese incident and the Indian one is that the chinese guy retaliated and stabbed back the attacker while the Indians rightly or wrongly are perceived as docile who wont hit back even when they are attacked. All this talk about chinese embassies being professional is bullcrap.Indonesia is notorious for anti-chinese riots but the chinese embassy there did zilch to protect their citizens.To be fair , the Indian embassies are more professional compared to their chinese counterparts when dealing with discrimination of their citizens.In the present case , the Indian students were attacked by teenegers more or less of their same age.The Indian students could not hit back (which is understandable) because the attackers came in packs.But in other situation where ever possible the Indians need to hit back at hooligans and attackers.or better still do what i did in my engineering days in India.A group of people attacked me when i was alone.The impression in that campus was Andhras are docile and wont retaliate.I remembered their faces.And the next three days i and my friends picked up one by one starting with their leader and beat the crap out of them.ashish raval wrote:Man !! I know about Chinese embassies they are highly professional and act very swiftly in the matter of attacks on Chinese citizens abroad. I am telling you about one instance when this happened, a few years back my friend and colleage was biking in park in british summer and bunch of drunken thugs intercepted his bike, he told to let him go, but they started making row and hitting him wielding the knife, in reply the Chinese guy thought of hitting back and stabbed the massive 6.5 feet guy with his own knife in presence of his friends and then calmly left on his bike. The thugs went to police station which lodged the complain, however, the Chinese made a massive row over the incident in the university campus and made huge hue and cry in chinese media by cataloguing each and every event happened against chinese student in last 10 years in which police simply did not did anything. This prompted the british police to put the cachinesese in back burner and never produce the chargesheet against him. I saw Chinese ambassador visiting our office once...hehehe...I thought man when will Indian Embassy learn to extert this sort of pressure.What makes them think that only Indians are vulnerable, not Chinese or Pakistanis or Bangladeshis... or Thais, or Indonesians, or whatever...
With this incident, I think they are taking steps towards it.
Definitely, this is triggerred by hatred of indians.Avoid speaking in foreign language in public places. This annoys the English-speaking people and leads to a negative impression about Indian mentality and culture
Never ever talk in Hindi or other languages when you are standing next to Aussies. This is a very big humiliating thing to those people. Always talk in English.
How can a country claim to be a "multi-cultural" country and not tolerate people speaking in other languages?mnag wrote:The following article posted on rediff contains some tips from indians staying in Australia regarding staying safe

Negi in my time here I have not heard of many attacks on Chinese students...in a way thats because there is a fairly big populace of Vietnamese and East Timorese a lot of these have close chinese relatives and both Vietnamese and The Timorese have been notoriously known by bashing goras and having fights. It is also the percieved impression that they are related. I have quite a few Vietnamese and Timorese friends as I used to work in a area called Richmond near the CBD where there is a lot of population of the aforementioned nationalities. The Chinese are not liked outright but they have been here for longer and thus IMHO are supposedly more acceptable...go figure!!!negi wrote:Indian students form the second-largest international student community after the Chinese
Gaurav,Andy et al... any idea about the similar 'coincidental'attacks on the Chinese students ?
Same sort of thing happenend in Uni days as well where house parties would get very messy and people get too drunk and things get outta control very very quickly. Also retaliation needs to be thought of very carefully as IMVHO it can provide a nice jump start for a solution by the govt but may also end up escalating things out of control...JMT

, just wanted to make a point...If we go by this logic Chinese should have been targeted first. Often came across Chinese, Vietnamese, Indonesians and Europeans also aged around 20-30 who can barely speak English. Are they targeted as well like Indians? No.mnag wrote:

. . .most attacks on Indian students went unreported out of fear, a community leader has revealed. . . .The Sydney Morning Herald quoted Singh as saying that there had been more than 100 attacks on Indian students in the past 12 months. . . . many Indian students feared that lodging a formal report to police would harm their chances of permanent residency.
This guy is true gem NOT only because he refused honour but he knows what means being superstar in India.The Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane had offered the 66-year-old veteran a doctorate for his contribution to the world of entertainment and Bachchan had earlier accepted the title.
...
"I have been witnessing with great dismay and shock, the recent violent attacks on Indian students in Australia, on the electronic media the entire day," Bachchan wrote on his blog.
"I mean no disrespect to the Institution that honours me, but under the present circumstances, where citizens of my own country are subjected to such acts of inhuman horror, my conscience does not permit me to accept this decoration from a country that perpetrates such indignity to my fellow countrymen," he added.
Hmmm.Shirish Johri tells about the brutal racial attack he was subjected to in UK.
Fire brigade officers coming to educate potential students what to do incase of petrol bomb attack..lol..AUSTRALIA'S lucrative education industry could pay a high price for recent attacks on Indian students, agents in India who help arrange student placements have warned.
The assaults attracted a blaze of publicity in India for the third consecutive day yesterday, prompting some students and parents to re-evaluate plans to study in Australia.
Bubbly Johar, who runs Johar's Education Centre, an education consultancy in New Delhi, said many parents of students considering education in Australia had contacted him because they are worried about safety.
"These attacks will definitely have an impact on the market because parents are calling me up and they are very concerned," said Mr Johar, who is vice-president of the Association of Australian Education Representatives in India.
"The media coverage here is encouraging parents to rethink whether they should send their children to Australia for studies. We can't assure them that they will be safe - it's a very precarious situation for us."
Taxpayer-funded advertising in India that promotes Australian education services has been undermined by days of negative publicity about the violence.
Three English-language newspapers - Hindustan Times, The Times Of India and The Hindu - ran stories about recent student attacks on their front pages yesterday. The leading English-language news channel NDTV broadcast a report yesterday under the title "Racist Australia?" in which the parents of young Indians studying in Australia expressed fears for their children's wellbeing.
Education is Australia's third-largest export earner behind coal and iron ore. The number of Indians studying in Australia has more than doubled since 2006 to 93,000. It is estimated this group contributed about $2 billion to the economy last financial year.
But Arun Bhutani from AB Educational Avenues agency, which arranges for more than 1000 students a year to study in Australia, is bracing for a slump in demand.
"No one wants to go for education if they don't think they will be safe," he said.
Rupesh Duggal from Cambridge Immigration and Education Services in Punjab said: "There is a growing perception that people in Australia don't like students from India and this is affecting our business."
Most Indians who study in Australia are recruited and assisted by agencies like the ones run by Mr Johar and Mr Bhutani.
A team of Victorian police and fire brigade officers (???)
will arrive in India tomorrow to brief students bound for Australia on staying safe.
fire brigage officers should instead tell Indian students to use fair and lovely and become fair, this will end all attacksFire brigade officers coming to educate potential students what to do incase of petrol bomb attack..lol..
who issued them visas..!!
All government formalities of welcoming these guys should be cancelled and their trip cut short by terminating visas early. All these are coming there to cover up their impotence and throw cold water over issue whilst cushioning the impact on education industry. Coverage by media has been enough to give them doldrums in this recession. This should send them right message.GuruPrabhu wrote:fire brigage officers should instead tell Indian students to use fair and lovely and become fair, this will end all attacksFire brigade officers coming to educate potential students what to do incase of petrol bomb attack..lol..

Seriously, the racist jackasses seem to be woken up from their slumber after a few subtle pointers seem to have been made about these Unis, we should not let up and make sure that the guilty are punished for Race Hate crimes and not for mugging/looting or Ipod Cheening
Why did the guy not get up & beat those little OFCONs to pulp? One punch in the right spot & those gora version of Pukis would have dropped their balls & ran away. Why do the desis lick so much of gora ass? That IIT-IIM topper did'nt fight for justice for the fear of losing his job in Goraland UK. This kind of behaviour has to go. The goras come here & they see Indians falling over each other to 'welcome' them, and then they go back home & racially abuse the same people. Indians need to develop a spine, celebrating the tag of 'slumdogs' will not help I'm afraid. To hell with their jobs & to hell with their universities, stay in India & take over the whole bloody countries in a few decades.

It is not triggered by hatred for Indians, but instead, Indians' hatred for themselves.Harbhajan's cousin Jagjit Singh claimed that his 26-year-old son Upkar Singh Babbal, who went to Australia in 2004 to pursue a course in hospitality management, was killed in a racist attack in Melbourne on May 7.
