The following image posted on Gab got my attention:
Much to think about indeed. I wasn’t aware of this Burmese episode of Indians behaving abominably until the locals got fed up with them. But a similar situation occurred around the same time in a country I am very familiar with.
Not long after assuming power, the Ugandan dictator Idi Amin moved against the local Indian population. In August 1972 he expelled Indians from Uganda. When he was ousted from power in 1979 there were less than 50 Indians living in Uganda out of an original population of over 80,000.
Wikipedia has an entire page devoted to this event, and this little snippet caught my fearful yellow eye:
While not all Ugandan Indians were well off, they were on average better off than the indigenous communities,[5]constituting 1% of the population while earning a fifth of the national income.[11]
1% of the population earned 20% of the national income. That is a very large gap indeed. But I somehow doubt that this desire to expel the Indians was based entirely on envy. I would guess that the native Ugandans’ source of discontent was perhaps somewhat similar in character to that of the Burmese. Because Indians are gonna Indian no matter where they are.
Idi Amin faced the usual international consensus that he was Dr Evil Mr Racist, which is strange as I was under the impression that black people are incapable of being racist. Anyway, the Indian government threatened Uganda with “dire consequences” if they went ahead with the planned expulsion. Uganda ignored the threat and the Indian government did nothing. All of the usual international bodies and governments that were also outraged also did nothing at all.
So a few takeaways from this for those of us in countries like Australia, presently infested by the Indian curse. Yes, their behavior is atrocious and there are strong historical precedents for this. It also turns out that it’s not hard at all to kick them out, you just have to have the will to do so and to follow through in the face of the usual outraged squealing from those who constantly claim to be on the right side of history.
And finally I want to highlight a comment from long time reader Heresolongwhich he left on my Aboriginal industry post the other day:
Smaller example, but I think still relevant. When the students do announcements in the morning at our local school, they start with “good morning, school name”, then a student recites something in Hindi because we have a large Sikh population. I asked a Sikh student what it meant and it turns out it’s a traditional Sikh greeting praising god for some victory in battle a thousand years ago.
Can you imagine if the announcements started with any sort of Christian observance? Of course you can.
Tell me your town is occupied by foreign invaders without telling me your town is occupied by foreign invaders.
