i work in a hotel lol...so yeah lol...there you go with the aussie bullshit thing...until you guys drop that racism will still exist...you probably spot some old german fart in a crowd that happens to be in sydney and automatically assume he is "aussie"...
and you just said ur indian too lol...what is an indian? fuck india has what 500 different ethnicities lol
When he said hes indian i dont think he meant it to be taken as seriously as you did. What do you mean 500 different ethnicities? As if anyone that isnt from India would be able to identify what part he is from if he mentions one of those ethnicities. India is just easier to understand. Also, when someone asks " where are you from " because you look different, obviously they want to know about heritage. Otherwise, if everyone here considered everyone else Australian why would we bother asking where anyone is from?
Secondly. Taxi & house keeping ? Youve got to be joking right ...
The indian men who do drive taxis came here when they were in their mid 30's - 40's they are educated, they do have a degree, but that degree isnt worth much here because its not an australian degree. that being said, it doesnt and shouldnt degrade them in any way. Do you know how difficult the education systems are in countries like India/China/Japan/Bangladesh etc. Like 10x harder than here with 100x more competition. If they can get a degree there im pretty sure they can get one here, but when you come here with a family, you have to think of how to put a roof over their head and food on the table. Taxi just ensures quick income... You might want to look at their kids ? A lot of them will be the ones studying medicine/law/dentistry/business etc. Which was made possible by their parents sacrificing their careers to provide more opportunities for their children...
You see, most ethnic people dont want their kids to start paying their own way when theyre old enough to get a job, they prefer their kids to get a proper education and focus on that so they can make big bucks one day, rather than $6/hr ar maccas...
And also, you might want to check into a hospital occassionaly, and have a look at how many of the doctors are not " Australian." Maybe walk into your local optometrist or dentist and check them out. Just simple examples to draw attention to the big picture.
Also, Im from Bangladesh, which is next door to India. But knowing you guys, youd probably see the same skin colour and assume were all Indian, as i get that from people all the time. We have a very large community here in Australia, and you know what ? 98% of the parents are doctors. The 2 % left are engineers. I dont know anyone that works in house keeping .. there are some taxi drivers, but they were originally engineers and their kids are in some pretty flashy courses now.
So dont you dare give us this bullshit about all of us being taxi drivers and housekeepers. Unless you mix with the wider community of us you dont know shit.
We may have come here for a better life yes, but we came here with values. Values which drive us to get a proper education, a good job, and pay the taxes that take care of " your country " so next time you open your mouth to spread such bullshit, take a good look around you.
PS: im pretty sure Pauline Hanson may be potentially in breach of section 12 of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (1) It is unlawful for a person, whether as a principal or agent: (a) to refuse or fail to dispose of any estate or interest in land, or any residential or.., to a second person; by reason of the race, colour or national or ethnic origin of that second person
