Human Race!?!

Alas!! the media has got a great fodder in the form of the India-Australia series, to keep there papers thick and running for weeks. These days the biggest problem with the media is that we are not getting facts as it is , we more often than not get personal views of journalists on certain issues. Reading different newspaper and other articles we tend to get different views on a subject, in a way that we are not able to judge for ourselves on the issue, we tend to get more influenced by the views of the journalists.

If monkey chants thrown at an individual counts as racist slurs then every fucking individual in the world is a racist.The same person who meant Symonds when he made those remarks would have some point in time insulted his best friend in the same manner, does that make him a racist???. In my school days there used to be a guy call Karthik who had dark skin and we used to call him kaka(crow) and mimic a crow everytime he enters the classroom, so this makes my entire class and all students in my school a racist(according to these media reporters). I cannot see one Tamil guy/girl stopping himself calling a Telegu guy/girl as Golti for the fun of it, so it makes everyone of us a racist.

I still remember Adam Gilchritst calling the Indian team a bunch of bloody Indians a few years ago, it was all hushed up. Adam Gilchrist even intimidates the umpires. Do you think nothing of this happens in Australia. Muthiah Muralitharan gets to be taunted and insulted because of his skin everytime he goes to Australia, they are not a bunch of cute little bunnies either. They are equally arrongant, but all those arent written as fervently as the current Symonds issue.

Well we have been going through all these things for a very long time, so welcome to our world. Its great to see you guys taste what we go through or our friends and relatives go through everyday. Even if we want to apply to Austrailia for studies we are in a totally different assessment level for the Visa's than other countries like US or UK. Why dont these journalists write a long winding, emotional article about this in the newspaper.

These people tend to forget what happens in your own backyard and complain about us. I request all of you to consider what Indians go through in those white countries and these recents incidents and figure out for yourselves whether they had any racist intent.
