But just wanted to see what people thought about this from a purely racism based angle.

Racism is a terrible thing & I have noticed racism is true in every society I have encountered. I live in a multi-cultural society so have seen racism coming & going from many quarters.

Unfortunately even our leaders push racism upon us, for example in Oz we have them politicians telling us about the plague of boat-people coming here, that we must stem the tide, lock the up in manditary detention centres, look how they riot & destroy when they stand up to the way we treat them.

Most of the people coming from appalling situations of war/famine/poverty/disease etc.

Let us not forget that we are causing a lot of this strife by being at war in those countries or supporting the dictatorship of those countries, even supporting the monetary system that keep a lot of those countries broke by making them pay of there GDP in interest to corrupt banking cartels & let our corporations rape the natural resources of many of these countries.

It fall down the old trick of diverting the attention away from the corrupt thing the politician is doing.

It is the old trick of divide & conquer, have people on divided sides of the camp arguing about what should really be a non-existant problem & we stop qustioning them a the real crux of the matters.

The media even thrusts down our throats how primitve/backwards other countries are & openly promotes racial ideals/beliefs as wrong.

What the Indian call centre staff are really told about Australians


Just stating the facts, guys. Australia is known as the dumbest continent . . . so speak slowly" - CALL CENTRE TEACHER

INDIAN call centres are teaching staff Australia is the world's "dumbest continent" where people "drink constantly" and are "quite racist".

Staff taught "how to act Australian" are also told to "speak slowly" to customers on the other end of the phone line because they tend to be technologically "backwards".

Indian-based telephone spruikers and helpline operators are also warned that Australians are "touchy" about their pets.

They are also instructed it's OK to hang up on Australians who use the "preferred term for us" - "brown bastards".

The revelations have caused a stir in the US over cultural stereotyping after they appeared in the reputable news magazine Mother Jones.
One of the magazine's writers, journalist Andrew Marantz, spent weeks undertaking training in India with locals at an organisation called the Delhi Call Centre.

"For three weeks, a culture trainer will teach us conversational skills, Australian pop culture, and the terms of the mobile phone contracts we'll be peddling," he says. "Our first job at DCC will be to interrupt Australians at dinner and ask them to switch phone providers."

Marantz told The Sunday Mail he undertook the investigation last year, when there was some publicity about Indian students in Australia facing violent attacks.

The training program taught employees about conversational skills and Australian pop culture in the hope that they would build a rapport with the person they were trying to sell to.

In "dissecting" the Australian psyche in 20 minutes, the teacher told the class, "Just stating the facts, guys. Australia is known as the dumbest continent. Literally, college was unknown there until recently, so speak slowly".

"Technologically speaking, they're somewhat backward, as well. The average person's mobile would be no better than, say, a Nokia 3110 classic."

That revelation "drew scoffs from around the room".

"Australians drink constantly," the teacher warned. "If you call on a Friday night, they'll be smashed - every time.

"Oh, and don't attempt to make small talk with them about their pets, OK? They can be quite touchy about animals."

When one call centre student asked what kind of people lived in Australia, the teacher replied: "Let's admit: they are quite racist. They do not like Indians."

She continued: "Their preferred term for us is . . . 'brown bastards'."

This just going to promote racism/hatred between Australia & India by stereo-typing both races.

Australian's will now say "brown-bastard', Indians will say "dumb drunk yob"

This is just one example the media deliberately promoting racism.

What about how the media tells us about the crime always being committed by a certain race or the backward ways of another country or religious extremist, promoting war between east & west. etc.

Is this part of an Elitist plan, that by feeding us bullsh1t through their controlled media to divide & conquer, they can keep us squabbling amongst ourselves, then usher in the NWO, by saying this is the solution to the world problems, that they actually implement under our very nose, because we were too stupid to even see it coming because we swollowed their bullsh1t.

But when it come down to it might be just be human nature to fear the unknown.

Because everyones a little bit racist.

Sorry just wanted to end on a lighter note.

I'm not familiar with the politics of OZ, but I will say that in North America, the black and white issue has created a terrible divide in the past among both races. You will/could have poor or lower class from both sides condemning the other. But while race clearly shows they are different, there economic status is one in the same.

Hard to wrap your head around it sometimes...

Yes and No. Parts of the media are helping in bridging the cultural boundaries through education while other parts are promoting war and conflict. With so many people involved in the media and how communications affects everyone it does need to be more specific as to who is promoting what.

Very valid point on the education point it can certainly help build cultural bridges.
