Racists in our midst

Posted by: Michael Smith | 8 March, 2010 - 2:35 PM

I care about Australia and how she is viewed overseas.

There are some amongst us who seem hell-bent on painting Australia as racist.

This is the Sky News report on Friday after the tragic death of the little Indian boy Gurshan Singh was found dumped near Melbourne airport. - View Link here

Race is immediately an issue as far as Sky News in the United Kingdom is concerned.

It’s also an issue for Sunny Chandra, an “Indian Community Leader” in Australia.

Well over the weekend Gursewak Dhillon, 23, faced an out-of-sessions court hearing before a bail justice at the St Kilda Road police complex charged with the manslaughter of little Gurshan.

The bail hearing was told that Dhillon lived in the same house as the little boy. It heard he is a part-time taxi driver who just bought a small truck and was due to start full-time work with a courier company on Wednesday, lives in Lalor with his wife.

Det Senior Sergeant Ron Iddles said police opposed bail because Dhillon had few ties to Australia and was under investigation by immigration officials over allegations his passport may be false.

He has a daughter in his native India.

So an Indian national has been charged with the murder of the little Indian boy. But that hasn’t stopped the BBC from continuing to report the Australian racist angle to this story.

The BBC’s online web service is one of the world’s most visited news sites. Its own blurb says “BBC.com has 26 million captivated unique users every month. They are the conscientious consumers, big spenders and opinion leaders populating the online world.” - View article here

The BBC’s report is replete with phrases like “There have been a number of racist attacks on Indians in the past year” “His death came as Australia was making efforts to improve relations with India, a major export market, after a series of alleged race attacks” and “Last month, thousands of Australians visited Indian restaurants for a Vindaloos Against Violence campaign”.

The headline half way through the BBC’s story is Racism charges.

And this report from the BBC comes after the news that an Indian national has been charged with the manslaughter.

You have to wonder if there’s some sort of campaign to make Australians out to be racists.

I amazed to see indians taking over all the 'menial' work (no disrespect to that type of work intended). Every trolley boy is indian. Every door knocker is indian. Every convenience store employee is indian. Every cab driver is indian. I went to Suncorp Stadium recently and every catering staff member was indian. ARE we to blame? Are our teenagers (who used to do these jobs) just plain lazy and not dedicated to work? It's disturbing.

It get to me, evey time a knock on the door it has to be a Indian what is going on with australia

No, Smithy. I don't want an apology.

If that's how the sanctimonious pseudo "anti-racist" media and Indian Community are prepared to believe and brand all Australians as, then stuff them. They are EVERTHING they accuse ALL Australians of. There a word for that. It is ......(fill in the blank).
They are, in fact, worse; being so-o-o quick and easy and righteous at hammering home how "racist" we Australians obviously are.

So, I want NOTHING from bigots and hypocrites.
And, I EXPECT nothing from bigots and hypocrites.

As for the death itself, what does it matter of the race of the victim OR the perpetrator, anyway? To me, manslaughter is manslaughter. It's only matters because of the politically pure ideologues in the media rubbing their paws with the mileage theyÃ¢Â€Â™re getting out of all this.

It's good at least one Indian has spoken up about all this rubbish.
But, they shouldn't feel ashamed about it. That implies they should all be judged by the actions of a few - the philosophy of a bigot.
So, I'll do all other Indians a favour. I WILL NOT judge all of THEM for the stupidity of the few.

So, no apology, or any other attempts at pretending do be anything different, thank you, hypocrites. And, no holding breath on my part.

After years of being abused when I have refused to buy yet another bloody mobile phone from an Indian caller and after having been verbally abused for telling an Indian cabdriver in Brisbane that he was going the wrong way, I now stay clear of anyone who looks or sounds Indian in Australia.
I travel to the United Arab Emirates regularly and have not once had a problem with either the Indian cabdrivers or sales people in shops, never had a problem with an Indian hotel employee.
Why because over there they do not put up with DISRESPECT from ANY nationalities, if any step out of line they are either shown the airport doors or the prison doors. Perhaps we should take a leaf out of their book

Every time an Indian (Unusally a taxi driver)is responsible for a rape or a manslaughter on an Australian -it's barely reported. When a Indian is a victim - all hell brakes loose. Who does the press work for??
As far as I'm concerned being accused of being a racist is a racial villification and all of us who are offended should take a class action out on the Indian journalist who recently accused us on national television. Anyone interested?

Amazing how the Indian media rushed to brand all Australians as racists, and it turns out the assaults on Indians were perpetrated by Indians.
