My Taiwan friends get angry when say they China
When I see someone who looks from Indian background heading to my front shop door I cringe...you may call me racist, I don't give a fuck. My ill feelings come from past shit experiences I have had with them.
Having said that, i give them all a chance and have been pleasantly surprised that they are not all the same. But experience has taught me how to sort the good from the bad in the first few seconds of meeting them.
How can you tell the difference?
Oh! Just from the smell....only joking!
I will give you this example and hopefully you will understand.
About a month ago on a rainy Saturday night I went to pick up my online order from my local Grild burger joint. As I was walking, just about to go up the steps into the place I was confronted by a tall man of Indian appearance with a phone to his ear having a pleasant conversation. Obviously a user delivery guy. I went up the steps well before him but stopped on entering to wipe my wet shoes on the large mat. This arrogant prick walked straight passed me, allways on his phone and proceeded to try to get the staffs attention. The waitress walked up to me and asked how she could help. I gave my details and she walked over to the ordered food warmer cabinet to look for my order. The uber dude had made his way to the warmer,always on his phone and interrupted the waitress insisting to look for his order first. I gave him the death stare but he couldn't give a fuck. The waitress got my order and I left. This all happened in a minute or 2, and I got an idea of who I was dealing with. It might be acceptable in India but not here.
WTF! The guy was a Cherokee and they mistook him for an Apache. That really sucks! so much racism and ignorance in the world.
"Ignorance and racism" has existed in this world from well before the oldest profession in the world was around

Just to give you an overview
I'm a 61 year old born in Australia from Italian immigrants in the early 50s.
People from my culture in those years helped build this country, working in factories,mines and construction. Some of them losing their lives on major structural projects.
I was reared on Western American movies, John Wayne and Daniel Boone, we innocently played Cowboys and Indians as children. Now they are called native Americans.
Growing up in the inner west, it was an offence to be called a wog and it was on for young and old if someone called you that. And believe me, i was chased a few times home for being a wog by a few.
And this fucker wants to complain because he is not accepted by every working girl in Australia because of his mistaken ethnicity. Go get a fucking life.
My point....don't play the racism card with me, you have no fucking idea what it was like growing up in Australia in the 60s 70s and 80s.
Now we are all cultured, we eat curries, pizza and fried rice and no longer racist. Bullshit! The racism exists as it allways has. I was ridiculed for eating calamari as a child and now it is on every Pub menu in Australia
I have no recollection of this
Wondering if Aborigines or Torres Strait Islanders have any issues.
One night I went to a fancy dress party dressed as an Indian Chief with a feather in my hair and face painted.
After that I was horny and went to the nearest brothel for a fuck. I was refused entry.
They had a No Indians policy.
