[QUOTE="Ishna, post: 197057, member: 2709"] [URL]http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-20445350[/URL] "Two Sikh priests jailed for rape of Glasgow prostitute" This is the only story that immediately comes to mind. From my perspective, 'the west' and 'white people' are by-and-large multicultural and tolerant, and often paranoid of pointing out any misstep by anyone who isn't 'white' because of the cry "racism! you're picking on me because you're racist white people!". That's why the administration at my school stood aside and allowed what was happening, to happen. Because to do anything would be seen as "being racist towards Persians". It is the minority who cause problems in any culture and your over generalisations: [SIZE=+0][/SIZE] are not constructive to mutual respect or integration. ^ another example of over generalisation. From this side of the fence I see my government and my culture doing many things to accomodate, integrate, educate, multiculturalise, interfaith, adapt etc. etc. for other cultures. We've come a long way, and we still have an aweful long way to go, but it is changing. It seems you overlook all that at times. Here's a couple more negative stories, as requested: [URL]http://www.news.com.au/national/ten-australians-killed-in-india-families-claim/story-e6frfkvr-1225820446163[/URL] [URL]https://www.facebook.com/notes/ajit-singh/sikh-boys-hair-cut-at-ns-camp-parents-cry-foul-malaysia-kini-news/171959369513355[/URL] Sikh boy's hair cut at NS camp, parents cry foul [Malaysia Kini News] It's OK for you to have your opinion about the West.
