tuh-mey-toh (tomato) or tuh-mah-toh (tomato): Racisim or Not is the question!!!???

It seems that intolerance to difference is the bread and butter of the West and Caucasian Southern Hemisphere. Australian cops state that "Indian community members here point out that some Indian students do not behave properly in public places, especially in trains and market places. They play loud music and speak loudly on the phone in public transport, some can hardly converse in English and many choose to just stick to people from their own region."

In what civilized world does such behavior warrant assault on a particular community. Singapore does levy fines for public nuisance, a rational and civilized way to regulate public space (hence the name, "fine country"). Uniformity if pursued so vociferously would then leave us no different from the Islamic fundamentalists, the Hindu fundamentalists, and the like!!!
