when the western countries are so obssessed to follow the principle of racial profile in sports, that too with the sub-continent players, there is no wonder about the happening at Amsterdam. everyone would remember after the twintower attack, a sardar was stabbed to death by american, thinking them he was a member of Binladen group. The action taken on IRA people or war-excess by US mariners are never get exposed by the media - either indian or foreign - but anything against either indian or pakistani gets beemed up in all channels. only mother World has to save us.

Hi, I agree the incident in Dutch flight may not be originated from racism. However you showed a different dimension to which a reaction is must.
I stayed abroad for years and saw many ugly locals who never brush their teeth, have bath occassionally and wear same pair of clothes for a week. An average Indian never does this. One remedy the locals had is using utilities such as mouth fresheners, body sprays to cover up their stinking bodies. If I believe the hollywood moveis reflect the true life style, I see people after the intercourse, without bothering about bath, wear their pants and go out to the city.Once again body spray probably help them. Just because they have a color and wealth, we need not blidly degrade outselves. If our food stinks for them, I say their food stinks for me. They eat meat and dont even clean their mouth with water. They use a chewing gum instead. But for decency, I cant talk about some more facts about their habits.
In my experience I see racism in blood of many people with only some decent people. Fortunately everyone follows the law which is quite strong. But within the boundaries of law, they talk very low about us. Best regard
