Agreed.
Displaying wealth is pretty stupid. I actually have little sympathy for the Indians who display their wealth while their country is dirt poor. It is pure classlessness and stupidity.
Also calling Australians racist while their own country has a caste system filled with "untouchables" is retarted. Australians are among the friendliest people I have come across in my life, and I can't say that to most Indians I have known so far. There are good people and a-holes in every country, and no generalization should be made.
India has the most crime in the whole WORLD.

Annual murder in India goes 37,000, where as Australia registers just 300.
what would your reaction be after you read something like the following...
"Italy: Racism row erupts at Milan school"
Milan, 2 Dec. (AKI) - A racism row has erupted at a high school located in the outskirts of the northern Italian city of Milan. According to the Italian daily La Repubblica, several 13 year-old students refused to sit next to Chinese students because they said they "stink".
Faculty members at the Trilussa school, in the area of Quarto Oggiaro, have made a decision and ordered students to change their seats every 15 days to overcome the racist attitude.
"To see the classroom divided into 'neighbourhoods' was painful. Now the students will have a chance to get to know each other," said Italian teacher Adele Moroni, who teaches a class that includes nine foreign students, out of a total of 22.
According to the newspaper report, the Italian students reportedly complained that the Chinese "do not pay their taxes", "they steal our jobs" and are "different than us".
The school has informed the parents of 13 children about episodes of "intolerance against non-Italians".
According to Moroni, the school is implementing a new strategy of integration and although they are only "at the beginning" they have already heard "moving" testimony from other students.
Moroni said that integration had been difficult for five Chinese students who arrived at the school this year.
"It is absurd that children are racist in 2009. We will go forward with the seat changes until we have overcome the challenge," said Moroni.

now it's easy being an opportunist spectator trying to take potshots and cunning digs without getting thy hands dirty...it's vastly more different when you are in the arena...
