Frederick, I read your comments in another thread that Goans use the outsider
to perhaps hide
their own bigotry and issues (I am paraphrasing you here and apologize if I am
misunderstanding
you). There are two outsiders who seem to cause the current angst: the poor who
take menial jobs
and the rich builders who with local help exploit poor locals. What is one to
make of Seby's post
below where houses are being built at the expense of Goans? Are we not supposed
to be outraged?
Regards,
George
