I hate the fact that an elderly Indian was beaten up by a policeman in US last week. A man expects that he should be treated fairly by the people in the place he resides. The south (of US) is still kinda racist. Why do we have to go to a place where we don't seem to belong?
But then I think how is it any different in India?
A woman in Delhi (or in many other places in India) expects that she has a right not to be molested. But it does not happen and cannot be controlled,
Probably we expect US to hold itself to higher standards than we set for India and Indians. I have seen in movies where the villain tells the policeman that the latter cannot just shoot and kill the former as policemen are accountable (implying that villains aren't).
What a crappy bunch we have become.
