I would suggest that a more understanding person would try and discover why he acted the way he did, rather than merely condemn him automatically. I've know quite a few Indian people over the years and all have been good people at heart. I've met Indians, in India and been impressed with the way they conducted themselves. I've also met a few arrogant ones who were little runs but I don't judge people on the actions of a tiny minority. High Caste Hindus have real problems associating with foreigners and tend to shy away from us. Doesn't excuse their rudeness but it makes it understandable. Thankfully they don't travel very much outside India.
Indians have been on record, speaking in English, talking about threatening Australia with a nuclear attack. All because there were news reports about Indians in Australia attacking other Indians, and then blaming Australia. Indians have a severe racism against foreigners and other races issue, and it has not been covered up in the media.
There are hotheads in every society, Unsub. Australians frequently issue threats to burn down Moques without real cause, should Australia be judged by their utterances? There are idiots everywhere, even in this forum. Tsk, tsk, tsk...
Quote:And if you have worked with or around Indian people, they show little regard for you, if you are not Indian.
Not sure who you're referring to, there, Unsub. As I've said most Indians that I have encountered have been respectful and have regarded me as their equals. Perhaps you hang around ill-educated ones?
Quote:Women who have dated Indian men have not given Indian men good reviews. Indian men are very controlling of their women. You could imagine how unsettling it would have been for my 15-year-old daughter to have heard South Asian men being within earshot of her Mmm-hmm in varying tones whilst they leered at her. Indian men consider blonde women (and girls) as prostitutes.
Never encountered the problem, Unsub. All the Indians I've known have treated women with considerable respect. Tsk, tsk, tsk...

Quote: Quote:Your ancestors were your ancestors, Unsub. As L.P. Hartley said, "The past is another country: they do things differently there,” Most white people have a rather a mature attitude towards their ancestors. Indigenous people regard their ancestors as more intimate people and believe what happened to them affects themself much more intimately.
That is clear double standards, right there, Brian. Either their ancestors were part of the problem or part of the solution. It is hard to be both. My white ancestors worked hard to get what they earned. I can only try to live up to their standards of work ethic. Indigenous people don't talk about their ancestors. It is forbidden in some cultures to mention their names or what they look like.
Their ancestors were in the main, innocent, Unsub. White colonists disrespected them and their claims to ownership of the land on which they lived. Tsk, tsk, tsk...
Quote: Quote:Their ancestors are all they have left of their culture, Unsub. Do not force them to relinquish them as well as their society.
Oh, rubbish. You are subjected to the rules of law and the society you inhabit. Whether you want to ditch the language and culture is not something that gets forced, no matter how many times it has been tried. Even dead languages are making a come back in places. I happen to be trying to learn new languages and cultures. Indigenous Australians are their own worst enemies when it comes to losing the culture.
Spoken like a true Racists, Unsub. Indigenous people can live how they choose as long as it is within the law. If they want to have ancestor worship, that is up to them. Tsk, tsk, tsk...
