Why do people still scream racism in 2010 ?, Is there money in it in doing so ?

The media is responsible for the ‘racist’ nonsense we are supposed to believe is behind the unfortunate deaths and assaults against Indians living in Australia. Governments are just stating facts: there is no evidence that racism has anything to do with attacks on Indians. It is all in the minds of the media who will go to any lengths to gain attention.

This author, who has a vested interest in multiculturalism, would have us believe that Indians are the only people attacked in Australia. Of all the bashings, robberies and murders we hear and read about daily, few of them concern Indians. Nor is the Victorian police commissioner in any position to ‘declare’ “some of the attacks” against victims as ‘racist’. Nor are other “… senior government and police officials in denial about the extent of the racism” simply because Andrew Jakubowicz, a professional multicuturalist whose job it is to keep the pot boiling on multiculturalism and ‘racism’ to keep his job, says that there is ‘racism’. Multiculturalism is a failed experiment whose supporters will do anything to keep alive, despite its deleterious effect on society.

For Andrew Jakubouwicz to claim that racial discrimination “…is evident to everyone except Australia's own top officials”, and to refer to ethnic Chinese minorities and their opinions of Australia is downright stupid. Whether or not Chinese students are exploited or not doesn’t change the fact that Chinese are still doing everything possible to come to Australia. And, any Chinese citizen has one hell of a cheek condemning Australia, given what their own government does to them.

And, the reference to ‘dodgy’ eduction programmes has nothing to do with supposed ‘racism’ and violence against foreign students. Most of the students, Indian and others, are merely using these useless courses to get visas to stay here. The study means nothing to them; it’s back door immigration that matters.

And, they cannot expect employment from any course they do if their English is unintelligible, particularly when most of them seem able to only get jobs as taxi drivers and telephone workers where a good command of the language is necessary. And even those being qualified on paper to work in the health field rarely speak well enough to communicate with patients.

Jakubouwicz pulls out the old one of Australia having “a racist history”. Very strange coming from a man with his ethnic background who should know what racism really is. Australia has not been, and is not, any more racist than any other country. Even a multicultural bigot like him, should be aware that people are continually trying to get into Australia by any means; hardly a sign that Australia is racist or a bad country to live in!

The Indian Government and the Indian press are acting as they do when they lose the cricket: it’s never their fault. They now think that we should be upset if they put out travel warnings against Australia, even though we have never had terrorists bombings like they did recently in a prominent hotel used by Australians.

I don’t care what they do, but I do know that everyone, including Indians, are all much, much safer in Australia than they are in India. The Indian Government, like Andrew Jakubouwciz need to grow up, and stop defaming Australia and Australians for the sake of political and monetary gain

If racism has been revealed to be the motive in the recent murder of an Indian student, or, after research into other violent crimes, racism has been found to be a motivating factor, then all Australian governments need to act decisively and with consistency to address the problems.

For example, what about more targetted recruitment from diverse communities into our police forces until we have a force that represents the composition of our modern Australian society? Police interviews should routinely explore all the motives for crimes against persons or their property including racism. Good information can lead to better focussed strategies.

A recent survey of identical job applications with different applicants names indicating different racial backgrounds, showed that racism is a major factor in the employers' selection of applicants for job interviews. NSW employers scored worst, but none were praiseworthy.

Worst of all, racist considerations are a factor by political parties in their selection of candidates. On occassions, the race card is used to attack another candidate in a political campaign. Harsh penalties should apply, but culprits get extremely light treatment by the courts.

Some people's views towards other races are shaped by shock jocks who exploit fears of people from ethnic minorities, manipulating 'facts' and emotions to boost their ratings. Why do media regulators tolerate this behaviour or decide on weak and ineffective punative action?

In summary, there's a great deal that politicians, industry and community leaders should be doing to fix the problems of racial discrimination in Australia. We must do better. How far do foreign student numbers need to decline and Australia's international reputation nose-dive before Gillard and other politicians decide to deal effectively with the ugly Australians in our ranks?

Denial or suppression of major problems confronting Australia is typical of our political leaders.

I wonder if the supposedly well-educated and well-travelled author had read this article before he launched into his diatribe about racist Australia. See http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/christian_woman_killed_in_india_as_antichristian_violence_continues/

While the headline only notes a sole woman killed, the article from October 1, 2008 notes the following:
"Another Christian woman was killed and 300 more houses were burned down in anti-Christian violence in the India(n) state of Orissa on Wednesday. Her death brings to 60 the number of Christians who have been killed by Hindu extremists since August 23, with 18,000 people injured and over 50,000 people having fled their homes."

This article also quotes from a Father Carlo Torriani, a missionary for the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions to the lepers of Mumbai, who said that leaders in the Indian government, “pretend the problem [violence against Christians in Orissa and other states] does not exist and even the national press doesn’t give it much coverage.”

The stabbing death of Nitin Garg in West Footscray is an appaling incident but without evidence that it was a racially-motivated attack, what benefit is there in trying to suggest that it was? The only benefit there would be - as the author clearly suggests - is a justification for money being given to the supposed anti-discrimination "professionals" who can then drum up another campaign of fear and loathing directed at the whole community.

Wow - a textbook case of a whole bunch of comments/responses completely validating the key point of an article by completely missing/ignoring that point.

None so blind as those who will not see.
