There're rude people everywhere you go man, that's just a fact of life... I've seen all sorts (except for Japanese) talking loudly on expensive cell phones in crowded trains, or just talking loudly in their own language despite the presence of non-speakers.
Interestingly, I've seen/heard countless postings/comments singling out a particular race/group as being more 'rude' than the rest of the world put together. However, I've seen enough of the world to realise that what's considered rude in one setting is quite acceptable in others (sadly, being inconsiderate is acceptable in too many places).
All I can say is... take it easy man, keep an open mind - life's too short to get upset over little things...
>some of the more citi-fied indians - and chinese - wouldnt be caught dead speaking hindi / tamil / cantonese among each other, especially <clipped>
I would consider myself to be rather "citified", however, I'm not ashamed of my roots/race/language and would never confuse the two.
Now I know why Uhday made the comment "now is a good time to get involved"...
Cheers, Calvin
