I had been spat at my face, been called nicknames, been asked to do their school work in class while teachers just looked on .... Other students incl western students even approached the school principle. I've been called a f'n asian or a f'n immigrant even thou I was born here countless times. One time the only way he did his part cos I wouldn't do the work and if it was the case that my whole group get detention then I will just do that.	Nomad (952)

I took about 3 or 4 papers each semester and for each paper there was also like 2 larger assignments in that semester. On top of that, I reviewed my lecture materials on the day, we were also provided a bounded book of articles to read, each lecture there might of been 5 articles to read, some spanning 10 pages each. There is also a chapter or two to read from the assigned textbook.	Nomad (952)

I just went back to ground zero and replant it and do everything again .. Hey Roddy Boy you wouldn't mind any of that if a bully did that to you ... maybe you can be like me and put up for 5yrs. At my same class, I had a friend who was a Samoan and had short curly hair, a student in a higher class, pulled him into the common room, cut off his hair and put it in the microwave....	Nomad (952)
655579	2008-04-07 23:19:00	That is a tricky one,hard for the civilised party to become uncivilised just to accommodate the locals. I say that with a bit of thought,in so much if we look at say Aborigines,or red Indians,there is always some resistance to going back wards.

Dude, sounds like you had some traumatic childhood, very violent. Did you by any chance go to a primary school in west Auckland ~10 years ago? I remember this chinese guy who was basically the butt of most peoples jokes. Was treated really unfairly, one day he just snapped. He ran around the school chasing down everyone in sight with his pair of scissors, I don't remember the specifics but I remember he cut bits of peoples hair. He was caught by the teachers and banned from school. What a nut. But I know what you mean, you can keep putting up with others behaviour, but it eventually gets to a stage where you snap (or in your case "snip") and let it all out. If you are still snapping like this, I advise you get some help :S even thou I was born here countless times. :horrified	Deathwish (143)
655582	2008-04-08 06:05:00	Nah .. not been in Auckland before apart from a long w'end :D Now .. I don't take crap. ;) I think after my aero training I may get back into the akikdo. I've known work managers who teaches various forms of martial arts. A good friend from Singapore, knows one type, his brother knows 3x I think, they got their black belt when they were pre-teens. Not sure how Singapore was 20yrs ago .. Met this other Singapore fella and he used to be in a gang or something. Not violent at the time, but he could drink like a fish.	Nomad (952)
655583	2008-04-08 06:11:00	^ Lol good, then it wasn't you :P to true, I have never met an Asian that wasn't hard working. Always work like they owned the company. As for Indians I have had nothing but bad experiences with them, probably because they didn't own the company Isn't that whole statement contradicting itself (and when I see your post as quoted below, I know that you know well what I mean). Your intentions for posting as you did are unclear, thats all. are indians not asians of some sort. I was just stating the fact the 3 indians I have worked with at different jobs, also happen to be the laziest SOB's I have ever met. You seem to be a bit sensitive tonight. Your mentality in your posts sure shows your age and also shows that a lot of immigrants are bullies themselves. It's hard to reason with you. Sad that all 3 Indians you have encountered you have had bad experiences with, but that is hardly anything to judge by. Hope you understand where I'm coming from and not start with the personal attacks, simply trying to scope out your point of view. EDIT : Just read the Ferrari thread, atleast I understand what you meant about the 'sensitive' issue :P	Deathwish (143)
655584	2008-04-08 06:13:00	I tell ya man .. there were students of all ethnicities who were scared of the guy. They would congregate at the library, they would not use the common room, they would hang around and eat their lunch under some shelter when it rains or at that wooden bench.	Nomad (952)
