By "foreigners" do you mean a Sri Lankan Tamil in Toronto is a better
neighbour? Or a Dalit from Mayawati's UP is a better neighbour in Wimbledon?
Or, do you just mean "rich Whites" are better neighbours?
Is this another way of saying we Goans are as much (if not more)
class-biased and racist as they come... even when we are ourselves
brown, have mostly known poverty in our (or our parents) lifetimes, and
have live in the countries of the South in most cases (Asia including
Goa or Bombay or Karachi, Africa even if under a colonial dispensation,
the Gulf and so on....)
