Indian students are being murdered in Australia

Why are Indian students being attacked in Australia?


The Autralians are claiming that its not racism


In fact, one Tim Colbach, columnist for the The Age claims that Indian TV needs to stop whipping up hysteria because there are far more killings of Indians in India than in Australia, and India has dowry deaths too!! So let some common sense reign, eh? Kids? If you don't know what derailing is? There is a classic example. Indian blogger Madhavi brings the subject back on track



And then Mr. Colbach pulls out two instances of Australians murdered in India over a ten year period. You all do it too!!!


Nevermind that in 2008, at least FIFTY ONE foreign exchange students, nearly HALF of them Indians, were killed. Never mind that coroners were deliberately suppressing and under reporting murders. What I want to know is...What were the stats in 2009?

It already bugged me when Australians started angrily respondoing to criticism of that KFC ad with the old, "You're reading it by foreign standards" which was code for "Australian's can't be racist..." as if, y'know there's no history of bigotry towards people of color which that ad could draw upon.
