Racism in Australia

Awesome post by Sakshi about racism in Australia at Desicritics - Desicritics.org: And Yes, Australia Is Racist. My sister lives in Melbourne and I have spoken to her multiple times about this issue and not too surprisingly, she feels the same way as Sakshi.

Gangraping 13-year-old white girls just because they happened to not conform to the rapists’ sick views of what a woman should be wearing is not a culture that should be defended by any measure of intellect. The same situation has made appearances most famously in the case of the Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh, who was brutally murdered for the sin of making a movie with Ayaan Hirsi Ali - another brave woman who refuses to surrender. I am not saying all this to paint Islam in a bad light - I am saying that these ghettoized immigrants need to be brought back into the fold and their distorted views of reality be dealt with realistically and not be brushed under the mosaic carpet of multiculturalism or be explained away. Enlightened people, feminists and true liberals must stop aplogizing for bigots and work more to ensure equality for their sisters of different religions - be they Hindu ladies killing their female children in the womb, Muslim women dying to “preserve honor” or European women being humiliated for not being chaste enough while appearing in public.

Hi Shanti,(I’ll leave Madhoo exclusively for your hubby)
One thing in common we have is a sister in Mel. I’m from Sydney. Loved your post. I say, isn’t it funny how all this chastity, honour and morality stuff is attached to women. What - all men are from the pure zone?

I agree, Latha - if not for us awful women corrupting everyone the men would be so pure and so good :P
