[QUOTE="AusDesi, post: 118790, member: 9149"] [b]Re: Gurdwara In Melbourne, Australia Burnt Down 'an attack on religion[/b] Look there are several sides to this story. Comparing this to Australia cricket makes no sense. These stories are just media spotlight. There are reasons why Indian students are attacked but racism is not one of them. In most cases its a stereotype. Now there are problems with Indian students. 1) They don't get adequate housing. 2) They have to work odd jobs to make a living. 3) some of the institution they study in are extremely dodgy. These are the background problems. These problems make the bashings possible. First, Indian students are forced to live in low socio economic violent suburbs because the rental prices near the city centre is through the roof. This puts them in harms way because they have to travel to these suburbs where most middle class Australians will not go. Second, They can only work 20 hours legally. This means they cannot support themselves AND send money to India like their parents want to. So they work illegally at night. They cannot put this money into banks as its illegal so they are forced to keep it in their wallets. Now the housing issue comes in again. Since they live with 10 other Indian students they cannot keep this money at home. Third, The institutions which have agents in India promise the Indian students accomodation, jobs etc. In reality they are nothing but shop fronts for Visas. They have a floor in a building in the CBD where indian students go to study. Sometimes they close down without noticeleaving hundreds of students out of pocket but you'll never see these stories on CNN-IBN. Fourth, now look at the problems above and you realise that in the minds of young "bogans"(note:bogans are non-white people as well), Indian students are "walking-talking ATMs". Any Jazza or Bazza who wants a pack of Smokos and Smirnoff ice black tins will beat up an Indian guy and get atleast $100. This is a stereotype not a racial thing although it might appear so. If they figured that Croatians all had $20 in their pocket they'd do the same to Croatians. Finally, This thing also plays into it but not as often. Some of these Indian students who have arrived recently bring their old habits here as well. e.g. talking loud on the phone, hitting on every gori and non-gori that moves and other things. That makes them easy to target as well. I'll reply to other messages later. [/QUOTE]
