YOU said it.. but you left yourself an out by blaming "a friend".
By the way aborigines are Australians so it's a pretty obvious that an Australian did NOT say that and you just made it all up.

why are the assaults occuring?
From what i've read it's because people are opposed to Indians having easy student visas to Australia and also some are jealous of indians getting better grades than aussies.
So care to prove that VERY RACIST claim that indians get better grades than aussies? that aussies are so petty that they attack indians in fits of academic jealousy?
Your racism is only very thinnly veiled.. blaming "a friend" or something you just "read somewhere" just makes your racism cowardly.

Firstly to start you started to claim racism way before in the thread before these statements of mine.
Now for the above, if you did not realize yet this statement I made was in question format.
NOT ONLY THAT, I even SAID this is a question not a statement.
I was asking you guys what YOU thought of that.

Do you suffer from dyslexia?
If I say some people may be like this = NOT RACISM
No offense but you are not too bright
What you quoted firstly was a question not a stamement and wasn't even a question that I persued either.
None of what you said equates to hatred or intolerance towards another race.
Either you have reading problems, aren't too bright or do not understand what racism means.
My guess.... all of the above!

Oh yeah! Indians assaulting Indians!!! I didn't know they had this sadistic streak! I mean, Indians screwing Indians in a foreign land must give them vicarious pleasure! Your lame duck arguments are totally unconvincing.
Oh, I see.
All Indians in India are perfectly safe from attacks from other Indians, are they?
English seems to be a second/third language where you are concerned as your power of comprehension is zilch! Why am I saying this?
Because in your keenness to just ramble you have completely misunderstood what I've said and that is, about Indians getting vicarious pleasure in assaulting other Indians in a FOREIGN land. Not Indians screwing fellow Indians in India! There's a vast difference. If you know anything about psychology, which I doubt you do, you'll understand.
Uneducated Aussies are rare! But I've just found one!!
Two questioned over burnt body of Indian worker in Griffith

TWO men attempting to leave Australia have had their passports seized by detectives investigating the stabbing murder of an Indian-born seasonal work contractor in the Riverina town of Griffith.
They were stopped by police at the Sydney Airport departure lounge on Monday as they were about to board a flight to Nepal via Singapore.
. . . .
Detectives are examining claims that Mr Singh, who lived in Wagga Wagga and recruited Indian immigrants to work on farms in the Riverina, may have been murdered in a fight over unpaid money to workers, after attending a party in Griffith on December 27 last year.
His bound body, which had been set alight in an attempt to conceal his identity, was found two days later by a passer-by on the side of Wilga Road at Willbriggie.
A post-mortem revealed his throat had been slashed and he suffered multiple stab wounds.
Police are also understood to be investigating possible links in the murder to a sexual assault upon a woman.
My attacker was Indian, says victim of 'racist' assault

AN undercover reporter assaulted after covertly exposing migration scams says she is sickened by Indian media claims that she was targeted in a racist attack, insisting her tormentor was a fellow Indian.
As the Indian media's response to the dangers faced by Indian students and migrants to Australia reached a new level of hysteria yesterday with Kevin Rudd called a racist, the undercover reporter said Indian commentators had "no right to speak" because their own country was classist and racist.
"I'm just very, very appalled with the Indian media assuming that this was a racist attack," said the reporter, a 28-year-old long-time resident of Australia who covertly exposed migration scams for ABC TV's Four Corners.
"It was absolutely not. My attacker looked like an Indian person and I was threatened in Hindi."
The reporter, who had previously received two threatening telephone calls, was attacked in an inner-city Sydney street on Saturday afternoon when a man wearing a turban came at her with an "almighty elbow to the right shoulder".
The young woman had gone undercover for Four Corners during an investigation that aired on Monday night, exposing widespread corruption within the international student and migration sectors.
The Indian media seized on the reporter's attack and during a special half-hour edition of its popular News Hour program, entitled "Yes, It's Racism", top-rating Indian news channel Times Now claimed the assault was racially motivated.
But the reporter angrily disputed this, saying India was a far more racist country than Australia.
"I know it was not a racially motivated attack," she said. "Most sane Indian students in Sydney and Melbourne don't think these are racist-motivated attacks at all.
"Every country has a bit of racism here and there. And really, with the classist system in India, we have no right to speak. Certainly we have way more racism in our country than here in Australia."

Neighbours of a woman who was found dead with her throat cut heard her begging for mercy on the night she was killed, a court has heard.
Melbourne Magistrates' Court was told that Manprett Kaur, 29, was heard shouting "save me, save me, I won't do it again" in her home at Westmead in Sydney's west.
Officers discovered the body of the 29-year-old Indian-born woman when checking reports of a domestic disturbance at the home last Tuesday night.
The woman's 22-year-old husband Chamanjot Singh was arrested by Victorian police on Wednesday as he got off a bus at Melbourne's Southern Cross station.

Nobody in their right mind would walk around in the Western Suburbs of Melbourne, on a Saturday night, on their own, where this unfortunate event happened. Melbourne is full of different races and country of origins of its citizens, and it could of been anybody who attacked this guy. All the Indian Government and media did was make it harder on Indians living here by stirring the pot. The Indians need to clean up their own back yard before dumping onto us here in Australia, look at their homicide rate compared to Australia www.answers.com... its over double!

Not Australian, but as I've understood from other Australians, racism is on the rise there. I don't know why, but race riots are quite large enough, I think, to merit some concern and worry about how to stop them.

Thu, Jan 14, 2010. Amid outrage in India, specially in Punjab, over a fire in a gurdwara under construction in Melbourne, the Indian Government on Thursday said it was in touch with the Australian authorities over the incident.
"It is learnt that some unidentified miscreants had set fire at the construction site, which is located about 300-odd meters from the Nanaksar Taath Gurdwara," he said.

A 24-year-old Indian taxi driver was assaulted on Friday in the Australian city of Ballarat on Friday. His taxi was damaged in the incident. The police arrested a 48-year-old man in connection with the assault.
The taxi driver, who was verbally abused by an Australian passenger took refuse at a service station in Ballarat. However, the passenger followed and allegedly assaulted him.
The police sources confirmed that the taxi driver was not seriously injured in the attack. The arrested person was sent to jail for 90 days, as the racist angle in this case was proved.
