Otokonoko and Col Rouge, I agree with you 100%. Anti-White racism exists as much as the other kind.

Belly, as usual, I find your posts almost unintelligible and hard to understand.
Is English your second language? I'm not sure from your response whether you agree or disagree that this subject is not due to racism.

Gday Austin nice to see you have not changed, any well it is plainly stupid of India's media to highlight that country's growing racism.
It may be that a fellow Indian did this, but you can rest assured police want to get who ever it was.
Have a broken finger, the one I type with.
For a time was on a PC without spell checker.
But yes,my style is rough, always, however Austin, you have no class no style.
Now while not strictly on thread.
Victoria did.
Introduce anti knife crime laws.
Police have the right to search for knifes.
But MUST notify in written Medea,24 hours before searching.
We the majority, are being used by PC fools no way we should not let police search for weapons any time any place.
BEFORE anyone talks about rights tell me this bloke got his, to live.

A few things disturb me about the whole violence against Indians events.

One is that the Indians immediately claim racist attacks without any evidence at all, especially in this murder case. Yet there have not been any claims of racism relating to the murder at Griffith, NSW, nor in relating to the Indian woman who had her throat cut in sydney. Police have since arrested her husband. I don't see that the murder in Melbourne was any more heinous that the cut throat of the Sydney woman.

Our police will not disclose what the ethnicity of the perpetraitors of the bashings are, yet they would have been informed by the victims. The victims themselves, and other students, have not said what ethnicity the attackers are. Or the media have edited it out. This then leaves the assumption that the attackers are anglo-aussies.
It now seems the attackers in Sydney were Lebs and those in Melbourne were African. Motives appear to be robbery.

The hype of the Indian media and politicians is extradinary given no evidence of racism and that India has double the murder rate of Australia, including 8093 'dowery deaths' last year, which are unknown here.

Some time back there was an Aussie missionary and his two sons murdered in India in race hate violence, yet we did not threaten that it would effect our countries relations.

It is obvious that the Indians are beating these events up, while our police and polys are not disclosing all they know.

Belly, your reply only reinforces my post.

I gave you the benefit of the doubt that perhaps English was your second language. Obviously your problem is a lack of education.

If you think (for some reason of yours) that I 'have no class no style' at least I have grammar and spelling.

I genuinely didn't understand your first post to this thread on 7th January. Maybe I just don't have enough class or style to comprehend your posts.

It is getting a bit rich - the beat up over Indian racism and the over the top cartoon featured in an Indian paper. What an insult to the police who are trying hard to cope with the increase in crime in Victoria with inadequate resources.

The death of any person regardless of their race is a tragedy. To boil it down to racism being a factor whenever one of a select group is affected is counter-productive. There are many English backpackers who have experienced violence and even some have died (Ivan Milat and recent death in a Sydney pub) and we don't see the same vitriole against Australians by the English ('cept when it comes to the cricket perhaps).

Racism is not a pretty part of human nature but neither is diminishing the act of racism by unsubstantiated claims. Pulling out the race card in these situations only serve to make the divide greater.

The Indian Government should be asking themselves why many Indians are using every tactic to emigrate to Australia to the point of taking up courses in fields they have no interest under the government's skilling programs. The Indian caste system as others have pointed out, must be one of the most discriminatory and perhaps there needs to be a lot more self reflection when it comes to racism. I remember standing in the airport in Bombay having to deal with very rude and officious Indian officials who treated white people like dirt on the bottom of their shoe.

But the Indian Government like all others, knows a good story when they see one - one that will deflect attention from their own internal problems

"The victims themselves, and other students, have not said what ethnicity the attackers are."

They have but nobody listens or could be a policy not to disclose to try and supress tensions even further. I guess seeing the hysteria in India is a reason they do not want to go that route but I disagree.

The Indian students have claimed the attacks are multi-racial, I am not sure they have really left a race out..aside their own. Even Aboriginals come in for a serve.

I am a firm believer the victim comes first. If a victim felt they have been attacked due to their race it should be taken seriously. I guess people do not want a repeat of Cronulla but the missed point there is that it occured for the very same reason, a lack of acknowledgment.

The process should be that a court decides if a racist motive was behind any attack. I am not sure police should decide if it is or not. If the victim claims this then it should be tested in court and not debated by government or police. I know many racist claims are frivilous but easier if they can feel it is taken seriously.

So India say this is a racist murder. Police response should have been "When and if we capture the murderer you are free to make that charge" Too easy. Police, media and Government are not jury of motive.

If a white man is caught and the victim cries racist. Then that person is considered racist. Allowing government and police..plus media to make a claim only means now all whites are racist in the eyes of the targeted group. A quicker route from blame of one individual to an entire race could not found anywhere else than on the denial road.
