Apart from that incident which you mentioned above, raids on South Asians are rare compared to Indonesians which occurs almost every day at construction sites. An Indonesian on a motorbike is also more likely to be stopped by the police than a South Asian.
A South Asian is also less likely to encounter problem with immigration than say a Chinese visitor. I am still puzzled why you chose to highlight only incidents involving South Asians but not those of other nationalities. I am sorry but I do smell racism from those who screamed "racism"
Your implied claim about me and your claim about being "puzzled why" strikes me as incorrect and disingenuous, respectively.
I answered your "why" in the post above yours. If you choose to disregard that or creatively interpret/misintrepet, that's not my fault nor does it say anything about me. Giving a genuine answer, in good faith, to a question and yet get disingenuine responses in return means that this discussion has nowhere to go. If you want me to go through producing a thesis of all the racism in the world, where should I start and end? That'd be a treatise or several in and of itself, and not something I plan to engage in on FT given constraints.
