Australian cricket team a pack of 'whingers': Gayle
Ani, ANI, 24 December 2009.
Perth, Dec 24(ANI): West Indies skipper Chris Gayle has labeled the Australian cricket team a pack of 'whingers' as the fallout from the recently concluded Frank Worrell Trophy continues. Gayle said that the Australian players were the masters of sledging, but couldn't handle the heat when a player returned serve.
"When they sledge and if you give it back to them, they whinge a lot. They can't handle it," The Sydney Morning Herald quoted Gayle, as saying.
The tragic murder of young permanent resident Nitin Garg in Melbourne last week has done incalculable damage to Australia's reputation as a welcoming nation and as a globally attractive destination for education and migration.
We should not delude ourselves into thinking that the White Australia policy has been entirely forgotten.
It would also be a mistake to dismiss the Indian reaction as over-zealous "hysterical" media.
Unfortunately, the seeming instant dismissal by local authorities of the possibility of racism being involved has created an impression of a nation in denial. This has seriously damaged Australia's credibility and helped inflame public opinion
It is difficult to understand how the police are able to rule out racism completely and with such certainty. While a premature conclusion of racism would also be inappropriate, the apparent disproportionate number of attacks on Indians relative to other overseas students does suggest racism is a factor.

Surely it is the right of the Indian government to expect the Australian government to safeguard all India's citizens in Australia, especially those who were encouraged to go there because it was a welcoming and safe country to study and live in.
It would also be extremely helpful if Australian authorities acknowledged that Australia, like any country, is not entirely free of racist elements. The police should make it clear that they do not tolerate racist behaviour and demonstrate this by investigating allegations thoroughly. No purpose is served by playing down the suspicions of victims who believe they have been subject to racism.
It is critical that Australia does all it can to ensure that this goodwill is not eroded. Much will depend on how we respond to the crisis involving the safety and security of Indian students in Australia.

This is not to say that ALL are racist but a vast majority thanks to 'lovely' parenting, disrespectful decadent culture, Godlessness and the harbouring of satan within their hearts.

The majority of people on this planet would completely disagree with you.
I find that your statement is incredibly caveman-like
We are the first self-aware species in this solar system and you are basically saying we shouldn't evolve but rather de-evolve into xenophobes.
People with this thinking should really go back under the rock they came from.
Tourism accounts for almost 1Trillion dollars and despite the threat of terroism it still grows
You know what that means? It means the majority of the planet does not like you and your thinking.
