Indians are the most racist people on earth. I dont blame them for it but they are.

My wife was working at a particular job, where the manager happened to be Indian. Slowly, the whites were fired one by one, on the lamest of excuses. It was the Indian managers doing, as she got in the ear of the owner. They were then replaced by friends and acquaintances of the Indian Manager, until there was not a single white female left in the section where my wife worked. My wife was one of the last to go. The excuse that they used - there was not enough work. My wife found out it was because she was pregnant at the time. The Indian manager used this as leverage to get in the owners ear yet again, and got my wife fired Of course, she was replaced by another Indian. So much for "not enough work"! My wife said that the Indian ladies were hopeless. They were lazy, and talked a lot, and their English was not the best, so my wife was picking up the slack - and she was pregnant! She also said that they were rude, but some were nice (maybe one or two).

What Ronan did was take it literally which was really being nothing more than anally retentive. We can all be pedantic if we want to.
Maybe he was Tamil.

Indian students are much worse drivers and many as sleazy people. Even some Indians will agree.

Can think of a number of other individuals of different races who have performed the same. Given the same opportunity how many other people would scope out opportunities for people they know?

Even if they were more racist as a ethnic trait this would not change my reaction or treatment of individuals. Would you?

Lovely line - who do you blame then? Or is it in their DNA? Or the water?

I don't doubt what you have said is true as this could happen with a manager of any race.... but why does your wife not bring a discrimination case against the owners it would be obvious that the employees are being replaced by cheaper immigrant labour?

The Australian government is keen to stamp this behavior out.

I worked at a job here in Toronto and the majority of people working there where Indian. That however did not stop them from Hiring me as a CAUCASIAN MALE. The managers where I worked along with the general workers that were Indian were all HARD WORKERS.

For every bad story about a particular race there can be a good one. Dont be so narrow minded and open your hirizons. Dont base your judgement on an entire race on one incident. If you see one crappy movie do you automatically assume all movies in general are going to be crappy? Think in a broader perspective my friend.

Shawn McCrea is an unusual name for an Indian lad.

Wow again I had to do a double take to re-read that you actually wrote this. its one thing to generalize that a certain race cannot drive well and another thing to write in a large forum that a certain racial group are sleazy people.

Might i suggest that you look in the mirror at yourself being the one to write such vulger statements. Keep spreading the hate, I have a feeling your going to just be one of the ones who dont get it. If you look historically, caucasians (like myself) have done all kinds of awful things to people of different ethnic groups that I dont condone. Im not sure where you got your facts for your statement that "Indians are the most racist people in the world".

You may not be able to process all this information or look outside of your bubble. But dont worry as you said "I DONT BLAIM YOU FOR IT".

If you went to any tourist destination 12 months ago you would have hardly seen any Indians. Go there now and a majority of the people there will be Indian. And by a majority I do mean more than 50%. There are a lot more Indians in Melly nowadays. They had the 1st public Holi celebration in Melly this year (and it was a most enjoyable event). 12 months ago Indians were noticeable by their absence. They are now noticeable by their presence.
This is definitely the case in Brisbane too. A few years ago, you could walk all the way down Queen street and be lucky to see 1 or 2 indian folks. Today, you will see 2 or 300 in that short 5min walk.

(ps - I don't think that is a bad thing at all.... I'm just saying, I agree that that there has been a very sudden visible increase in the indian population here, and it will certainly be provoking the nutters amongst us.)
