It is called a racist attack because of the comments and bruises being passed. Calling someone a “curry muncher” following their car screaming obscenities, beating them up saying “you took my job”
Can you honestly say that its not racially motivated. I agree that not everyone is like that. But if you look at the Stats, it is pretty high and something has to be done.

And for those of you who say stop whinning. Have you ever been beaten up because of your colour or been called obscene names because of your Nationality. YOU HAVENT, Thought so.

There is a thing called expatriation. I have been living in Australia for over 7 years. ANy where you go in this world , if you look, speak and think different from the locals you are an expat. It takes time for one to get integrated. One had to take some effort to integrate. I know foreign students who refuse to mix with the locals, as they are different, helooooo, its not the locals’, its you who is different.

Regards claims of racist attack, get a fresh pair of undies and get on with it. ‘Go to a pub talk to the locals have a few beers . AS for the rest keep whining!

Im so sad for you Indian folk, Your ignorance is blinding.
Australia is not a racist country.
The indian man that was killed in the home invasion was not a racist attack.
What you don’t realize is this happens to Aussies too! the ranting of go back home to India from one or two ppl is not speaking for the whole Australian community.
The point is it dont matter where you come from where ur visiting or what country your in, there is good ppl and there is bad ppl there are good spots and dangerous spots sadly footscray isnt very safe! which i will also point out that policing has stepped up in footy now as a result.

One thing you will see in Australia is religions sitting along side each other peacefully and accepting each others values etc! can you say that happens in India??
Australia is not a racist country just ask all the asians, indians, greeks, italians, islanders, middle east, russians, spanish, turks, french, jewish, ppl that call australia home!
We care very open to other cultures, customs, please dont boycott my home based on ignorance.
Learn the truth before you talk!

Khush don’t be ashamed of being what and who you are!
Australia is and always will be the blessed country! we are a loving forgiving group of ppl, we will rise over this XX

All Indians should go back to India and racially discriminate each other as they brought discrimination everywhere they go. Its worth it to bring back discrimination to them as they deserve it! I have never met a single Indian who sincerely believe that all people are equal, hindi/muslim/christian all Indians are the same.

Facebook group.
International students are welcome. Racists are not.

A group where Australian and International students can join and chat about current events, political and social issues, music, sport, art, and to post events, or organise social events… Or anything really! No haters!

The ‘racist’ attacks against Indians is TOTAL RUBBISH! I am an indian and now ashamed to be one. Why? Because us Indians love to criticize other people but we fail to notice our own faults. If you travelled late on a train in India with valuables with you, you would probably be murdered.

These small attacks on Indian students have been pounced on by the Media. Australia is a MULTICULTURAL country. It is a friendly country. It is NOT racist. The only reason the government has taken action is because of the pressure the Indian media is giving it.

To be honest, us Indians are making fools of ourselves by getting ‘outraged’ by these attacks. IT IS TOTAL RUBBISH!

For those of you who live in India and warning other people of not coming to Australia, get lost and get a life. I no longer am a proud Indian, I am an ashamed one.

I have been to India several times and having been born in Sydney, I realised how lucky Indians who live in Australia are. If you live in Australia and call Australians racist, then don’t live here!

I am a proud Australian, respect Australian values and the Australian government. India also fails to notice that it is a racist nation. Look at the caste system. The way Muslims are treated (I am Hindu, yet the way we treat Muslims in India is disgusting!)

Don’t call other countries racist when a minor thing happens like this and solve racial issues in India.

yes, of course it is a sad of our indians being attacked their in australia but have you ever noticed that people from north east like nagaland, mizoram, meghalaya…. are also indians but when they they travel to part of india they are being asked as to wheter they are indians or not??? i’m so surprised that they cant even reognized thier own indian citizens….. wow!!! thats strange…. and they keep asking wheter we are are from china or nepal or thailand or so on… racism is part of everyone’s issue because its not where you live or whom you meet but its how you live and how you deal with it.

thank you

my indian boss gave me and the aussies the sack (we were full time),but not 1 indian studant got let off. these guys were working an average of 15 hours per week moor than full time aussies and are only allowed 20 hours max per week. CANT FEED MY DAUGHTER NOW but i keep hearing and reading about racist aussies and the poor little indians. Why do indians only ever want to employ other indians?
