I feel uncomfortable seeing all these comments about spod when he is not here to defend himself.

Though as he gave me -ve rep for my birthday I am sure I will get over it!

Most Indians went back to India but before going they said they hated working for Indians.

I'm not very well versed in this, but I believe that the Indian caste system is still going strong, and that inter-caste hatreds are rife.

e.g. this old article from 2007 (I doubt much as changed since)
Caste system still blighting India - Telegraph

Look, I think you know Spod and I do not see eye to eye exactly, and I am loathe to defend him ..... I may not like him

Interesting, but I really had formed quite the opposite impression!

Yes, I'm sure if I go back and read all your posts etc. I'll be proved wrong. It was just an impression is all.

We geberalize because it's more efficient, and in the past probably safer, than not generalizing. The human brain is set up to look for patterns abd often finds them where none exist. Unfortunately the world around us is moving on much more quickly than we can evolve and we get the occasional undesirable throwback.

I think Spods original comment was, I have worked for a jewish organisation and they were tulip to work for, if they got anything wrong, they would shout Holocaust and wouldn't take any responsibility themselves, and that is paraphrasing.

Look, I think you know Spod and I do not see eye to eye exactly, and I am loathe to defend him, but I don't think, on this point, he was being racist, or anti semitic. I have seen other comments he has made and raised an eyebrow, but not here and I don't think it fair to be giving him the labels people are, for this. I may not like him, but I am keen to be fair.

But do you draw any general conclusions about Jewish people in the way that spod does?

Buzz off!

I think the more relevant question is, what do you call the corner shop owner who comes from pakistani origin.

They don't like foreskins.

How about pleasant characteristics, or those where desirability is in the eye of the beholder?

Dunno. "Those Kiwis, eh, they smell SO nice and are such LOVELY people" sounds ok.

"Those Aryans, eh, they have such blonde hair and are SO much better than everyone else" is less so.
