Indians want special treatment
Jun 2nd, 2009 at 2:48pm
 
Indians stopped traffic in the busiest intersection of Melbourne's CBD last weekend demanding special protection over and above that which is afforded to average Australians.
By Monday morning, police had to physically remove these pests so that Melbourne's CBD could function.
Isn't it enough that average Australians are forced to put up with them taking university places which should be given to Australian citizens?

You know where the dirty scummy street is brownboy - go there.

Clashes at Melbourne racism protest


Police in the Australian city of Melbourne have arrested at least 18 people following clashes with protesters demonstrating against a spate of attacks on Indian students.

The clashes early on Monday morning came as police moved to clear protesters from blocking key intersections, bringing parts of the city to a standstill.

Protesters later rallied at key intersections and staged a sit-in protest in front of the main railway station, blocking traffic in one of the city's busiest streets for almost 20 hours.

The Federation of Indian Students of Australia, which organised the rally, said the attacks on Indian students were racially motivated.

In a statement on its website it said it was calling for a peaceful protest to raise awareness, and promote racial harmony and peace.

The student body also wants the Indian government to declare Australia an unsafe destination for Indian students if the attacks continue.

Why the delaying tactics? This is your chance to suckhole up... and be for 'curry bashing'.

You can bet that if these were Australians causing so much havoc, they would've been treated much more harshly.
As far as I know, no charges have even been laid.

We must appease our Indian friends so that they may pay for university places while ordinary Australians miss out.

I am against violence, irrespectively of motif.

But I would prefer to see the investigation complete and have the informed view not the forced interpretation by violent protest.

Well I feel sorry for any people who are targeted for racial reasons, but the protest is a silly over reaction, and the whole racist slur against all aussies is unfair.

We are probably not the least racist country in the world, but we surely would be better than very many, and we are improving.
The thing about this particular brand of racism, is that it is not sytemic, but rather random attacks by individual dickheads, who have xenophobic tendencies, because of their ignorance, and social situation, which makes the Indian's protests pretty meaningless, as far as achieving any positive outcomes, and downright inflammatory in drawing more attention onto them from the idiot racists we do suffer.

It is unfortunate that some of the less capable construe both valid, and invalid criticisms of various racial groups, as validation for racist ideology,  and lack the ability to discern what is fair, and what is not.

That was why people like Pauline Hanson, were a negative influence on aussies, because whether she was racist or not, her comments were interpreted by racists, as validation of their views, and they should not be getting any validation from any quarter, they should be being ostracised and made to feel like the pariahs that they are, because racist views inevitably lead to racial conflict, just like these Indian students are being subjected to, and aussies should be better than that.

Yes I agree with you Grendel (Hoorayyy  Grin), multiculturalism hasn't worked.
I'd be more of the opinion to kick them out.

They cn go back home to their brown skinned, non-racist neighbors who are trying to blow them to smitherines.

They can go back home and burn Rudd effigies with their buddies.

But our politicians will bend over backwards and forwards for them because they bring them money (not us).
They pay agents for non-existent courses so that they can work here  and send money back to India. They are sly pricks, I know what they do, I've worked with them.
