<em>I wanted to try and balance that out, by showing that Australians actually love Indians. We love them for who they are, it's just that Australians are not very good at showing it.</em>
Reductive, broad-brush <em>positive</em> stereotyping is certainly an improvement over negative stereotyping, but it's still some distance from what I would think would be the ideal of taking people as individuals, with their own distinctive good and bad points. Loving all the people of a given culture isn't really that much more a sophisticated approach to the world than hating them.comment:www.metafilter.com,2011:site.108593-3985844Thu, 20 Oct 2011 17:07:53 -0800Horace RumpoleBy: ferdydurke

I thought that was really worth watching.

I read that as "faith in taxis", which brought to mind images of e. coli scuttling towards sucrose.

I'd never thought of it the way Connell puts it, but migration is a heroic act, whether it's flawed or successful or failed or painful or mundane. Yeah. Heroic.comment:www.metafilter.com,2011:site.108593-3986414Fri, 21 Oct 2011 02:17:03 -0800Fiasco da GamaBy: cubby

Meets one person, decides that "<em>these people</em> are treasures". I appreciate this well-intentioned effort to fight oppression, and hope that several more steps are taken nextcomment:www.metafilter.com,2011:site.108593-3988158Fri, 21 Oct 2011 20:01:58 -0800cubby
¡°Why?¡± asked Larry, in his practical way. "Sergeant," admonished the Lieutenant, "you mustn't use such language to your men." "Yes," accorded Shorty; "we'll git some rations from camp by this evenin'. Cap will look out for that. Meanwhile, I'll take out two or three o' the boys on a scout into the country, to see if we can't pick up something to eat." Marvor, however, didn't seem satisfied. "The masters always speak truth," he said. "Is this what you tell me?" MRS. B.: Why are they let, then? My song is short. I am near the dead. So Albert's letter remained unanswered¡ªCaro felt that Reuben was unjust. She had grown very critical of him lately, and a smarting dislike coloured her [Pg 337]judgments. After all, it was he who had driven everybody to whatever it was that had disgraced him. He was to blame for Robert's theft, for Albert's treachery, for Richard's base dependence on the Bardons, for George's death, for Benjamin's disappearance, for Tilly's marriage, for Rose's elopement¡ªit was a heavy load, but Caro put the whole of it on Reuben's shoulders, and added, moreover, the tragedy of her own warped life. He was a tyrant, who sucked his children's blood, and cursed them when they succeeded in breaking free. "Tell my lord," said Calverley, "I will attend him instantly." HoME²Ô¾®¿Õ·¬ºÅѸÀ×Á´½Ó
