I understand what you're saying. Like I said in a later post, I see many men in the coverage of the protests and I rarely believe the accepted narrative without question. However, there does seem to be a particular problem in India with regards to rape and extreme domestic violence. Dowry murders and wife burnings etc.

As a woman, I wouldn't travel solo to India now like my mother did 30 years ago.

Why? Are you saying that rape and extreme domestic violence, dowry murders and wife burnings (suttee) have happened only within the last 30 years?

There are Middle Eastern and outright Muslim parts of Sydney where you would be well-advised not to go alone as a female pedestrian of Anglo-Australian appearance.

No, of course not.

I think that all women will be in more danger while there is such aggressive agitating for change. Problem men will become more impotent and powerless as the women they view as chattel gain better recourse. This is a dangerous time to be a woman or girl in India as attitudes evolve and the system/law changes to reflect the outrage. Not everyone is going to be on the same page.

Depending on the demography from where you're extracting your 'average'... I'd say there'd be many 'averages' that refer to them as 'Pakis' / darkees / Khakis / curry munchers... Anything but English, of course... But then again no immigrant (no matter he/she was born there or his/her parents/grandparents) is considered by the 'average' Englishman as English.

If your reference to 'Brit' includes immigrants... Then it may just be probable that the 'average' Brit is more tolerant of the brown people than the 'average' Englishman.

... and it was Gandhi who despised African blacks as lazy, good-for-nothing bastards. It might be time you scoured your library's books that have been tactfully sequestered in the basement all these years so as not to ruffle PC feathers and the Myth of the Morally Immaculate Mahatma Gandhi.

There are legions of 'Bill Cosby's Out There with fingers and toes crossed in the hope that the investigative juggernaut doesn't catch up with them. I'm still not convinced Nelson Mandel was The Second Coming. I need a little more persuading from you luvvies.   

I can see that when my lot come to power we'll have to fast-track you to a Re-education Camp somewhere deep in the Yorkshire Dales or the New Forest. (The barbed wire perimeter will be there only for your protection of course ...  ).

Here's a little Reality Check for you to contemplate from this one-time equal rights fellow who was given his job mainly through racial discrimination upon the fact he was black ...  (ie 'Whites need not apply for this government position' ....   'No Vacancies at the Moment').

He's a Blackfella - so chose your words very carefully if you're going to reply to this. For gawd's sake don't be offensive in any way. Or critical of him. Think: 'Sacred Cow' and you'll pass the 'Chardonnay Test'.

What he's saying here is in lock-step with what the British media like to call 'Far Right groups' or 'Neo-Nazis'.

Correct!

My agent is currently in negotiations with Freediver over the matter of a fee to be paid for each of my submissions.

Freediver CAN afford it.

Over the years he's built up his financial empire by selling flake to Australia's tourist hotels who then write these up on their menus as Barramundi at ridiculously inflated prices.

Incidentally ...

"During the late 1960s it became apparent that larger individuals of several shark species were contaminated with high levels of heavy metals, particularly mercury, and a public outcry eventually led to a ban on the sale of large school sharks in 1972, which remained in effect until 1985.

That's a worry: the ban was lifted in 1985.
