Re: 2nd Indian found dead
Only a quarter of the nation are immigrants:
Census figures reveal quarter of population born overseas

Re: 2nd Indian found dead
Hard to accept it but everyone in Australia is immigrant.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_Australia
If you read the relevant posts on the topic, the person saying that, was including ALL immigrants to Australia, including British. I don't think he was being racist, but as usual the rascism card is automatically played.
My reading of his posts indicated that he meant the country would be empty if we had had no immigrants, therefore an empty country = no people = no crime.
Your post and that murder have a similarity. Racism is immediately accused without really knowing the real story.
However, I am glad to see that not every migrant jumps to accuse racism first though.
The number of British that get assaulted in Australia, per 100,000 of population is very similar to the number of Indians that get assaulted.
Perhaps it's time the British had demonstrations to complain aswell ?

First of all I am not an immigrant (or Indian) and don't even live in Australia. I read the whole thing and referring to those who are calling immigrants as criminals and other sickening comments (not knowing themselves one way or other immigrated from somewhere).
Yes...It might sound OK for you but this thread stinks with racist comments. I am not going to point out for you line by line.
So you are Brit immigrant and complaining about another immigrant (Indian) just because they are demonstrating their rights?

I was expecting something like a pomie (I think that’s what’s called in Oz).

I'm more inclined to believe that your English is inadequate.

Re: 2nd Indian found dead
Can we swap our migrants for the migrants where you live please? We'd like the ones which never commit cimes.

Do you really feel that people have a right to call everything racist even if it isn't ?
Cry wolf often enough...... and you know what happens.

Re: 2nd Indian found dead
This has been a real problem, and totally confusing the issue. It's also drawing unwanted attention to Indians in Australia as a whole.

Re: 2nd Indian found dead
Actually it is impossible for any peoples to be indigenous:
In biogeography, a species is defined as indigenous or native to a given region or ecosystem, if its presence in that region is the result of only natural resources, with no human intervention.
