Frederico, read carefully what Roland wrote. "if they are not riff-raff, have been brought up to respect the law, they will ..." . We, in the western world, have our share of the riff-raff, aka "white trash".
Some of my friends are Sri Lankan Tamils, my own GP (doctor) is a Sri Lankan Tamil, and I have no qualms sharing my fence with them. Neither would I bat an eyelid if my neighbour came from a Dalit background - I've played with them and shared meals with them in my youth. My own neighbours come from different backgrounds (Greek, Italian, Anglo, Somali, Chinese, Aboriginal). And we all accept each other. But there are certain people I could not live with, and those are the types who have absolutely no respect for themselves, for others or for the law. Oh yes they exist and they come from all backgrounds ranging from various shades of white to black, and they are the ones who have given Australia a bad name.

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? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Access Yahoo!7 Mail on your mobile. Anytime. Anywhere.
