Your view is skewed. You should not care what they think of you, the point is not to get their thanks. If you were of Christian religion or background that would be very obvious to you. Also, again, what does it matter if you can't give enough to eradicate the problems. As I said, that's for world powers to tackle on an entirely greater level. Your aid packages meantime go some way to alleviating suffering. Do you mean you are happy just to let the underdeveloped world die or wallow in filth? I can't understand you. The same applies to helping the labourers here in some smaller way.
Religion has nothing to do with this. This is about culture which an outsider will never understand. It is sad to see poverty so rampant. Why does it exist? Are there no wealthy Indians, Pakistani's etc? Why the inequality?
I am unbiased. I just feel that the very giving ways of the west are being exploited by Asians and others.
Everyone loves to go to democratic America, work, make money,sleep with white women etc Yet they come back home, they side with fundamentalists, favour protectionism etc. You get what I'm saying
How else can you explain Indian's in England booing the English cricket team at the 20-20 world cup? Pakistani's booing UK troops upon arrival in Britain? White women in Indian movies are always bikini clad and potrayed as loose in morals. China has successfully copied Hong Kong's model all over the mainland, but not in a thousand years will China acknowledge Britains administration.
By all means go help labourers in camps. That is a micro perspective I was looking at the bigger picture. Unfortunately we are just small fry who cannot influence the bigger picture.
You are now explaining what you mean and I follow you. But I also agree with MCL that your perspective is quite a heavy generalisation. There are many racist and selfish westerners too. But mostly they are ashamed to make much noise about it in public. When a lot of people get together then of course group mentality takes over and behaviour can alter, with the strongest minded leading the way. Same anywhere.
Whether Oriental or Westerner, it's the ones that make the most noise that get the world's attention, even if they are a minority (say the Muslims booing troops in the UK, as you mentioned). I prefer to think well of people until proven wrong.
Also I can' t blame people for gravitating to where the money is (and free handouts are too), Indians or any other nationalities going to the US or UK are following a sensible route. It's up to Governments to curb immigration if there is a problem, individuals will do what is best for them and their familiy.
Anyway, I appreciate that you have a certain view of Asian versus Western attitudes and mindsets. Mine just differs, and I know many Indians and quite a few Pakistanis through my work (admittedly they are professional people, not unskilled workers) so what to do, we disagree!
