My point is why only Indians? what is d reason behind it. People from other asian countries are also residing in all the countries whom we say are doing racism, but why these people target indians only. I thnk we need a self analysis.
OR we Indians are so weak & vulnerable dat anywhere anybody can attack us without any genuine reason.
In one sentence, i would say Melbourne is a safer city than Delhi, Mumbai or Chennai
These recent attacks are not racially motivated.
In the most recent attack, the attacker and the attacked had liquor together and were part of a Drink Party attended by some Indian and local Ausee neighbors!. There was some fighting after the booze as usual. There was nothing racial.
On an average, one young Australian dies every week in the drink related violence.
Most Indian students are attacked in the late night by drunks and druggies for money. Now questions why only Indian cabbies and students. The answer lies in the fact that mostly late night traveler by public transport are the Indian students returning from work.
Can any body guess about the % of Indian taxi drivers in Melbourne?
Safest estimate could be 70-80%, mostly young north Indian and high % from Punjab with not very good Communication skills. Many a times their not so appropriate behavior also invites trouble.
There are lots of incident in the recent past when some old but natives were attacked for money.
The recent incidents have been blown out of proportion by Indian Media!
I am sure some one like Vivek Pannu, who lives in Melboune will also come up with similar views.
