Curry munching as a political act
Tuesday, 09 February 2010 14:43
The debate about Australian responses to the attacks on Indian students has begun to enter a very strange zone, reports Mel Campbell in the online mag New Matilda. Mel explores the site Vindaloo against Violence and its request that Melburnians eat curry in a massive show of solidarity with students on 24 February.
Mel notes that "At a forum held over the weekend, Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Simon Overland advised international students in Australia that to minimise their risk of being violently attacked, they should: "look poor" by not wearing or carrying obvious valuables; avoid suburbs where they might encounter poor people; and not work late at night in the hospitality and service industries."
