Assholes, and not the good kind, seem to follow a trend so concrete that I would risk slandering an entire subset of an ethnic community because of it.
But before I do that and also risk being banned and flamed, let me say a few well-deserved good words for these people.
For the six years I was in university getting my two degrees, many of my best friends were the guys from India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. These were among the brightest boys in our faculty and they believed in sharing their understanding with anyone who was sincere about our education.
In the early years of my career, some of the hardest working and humblest persons were the guys from India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. I respected them as professionals. They deservedly rose in the ranks and they deserved success.
Some of these guys became great friends, and I still maintain contact with them even though I moved 10 years ago. These guys, as friends, are among the most loyal and honest, and principled. These guys are the very definition of friendship.
I have been a regular at Wreck Beach for 4 years, going every weekend and any holiday weekday in the summer. But a completely unexpected phenomenon has occurred that has enraged me to no end. One incident was so bad, I physically attacked one of them as the rest of the group hung back.
It seems that among the 20 to 30 something year olds of that community, it has become some form of sick entertainment to hang out in large groups, usually 5 or more, clothed, and surreptitiously photograph and video attractive nude women. In my case, my young female companion. Each time it's the same, they sit nearby and strategically place themselves so they get crotch shots. They are fully clothed. They hold cell phones at suspicious angles, or pretend they are taking pictures of each other, or pieces of wood. They are brazen. They think you are stupid and they are somehow of superior intelligence than you that you would fall for it.
What they don't seem to realize is everybody knows what they are doing. They also don't realize that I learned basic punjabi and understand what they are saying, and that I know of "Desi" and "Masala" porn sites where these idiots post these pictures. It's sickening the way they talk of non-Indian women, calling them all sluts or pigs for showing their bodies naked or provocatively dressed, yet being completely enthralled and lusting after them. It's sickening that at the same time, beautiful Indian women are scorned into dressing from head to toe fully covered while they speak about fucking some pale skinned white girl or light skinned asian, using her and discarding her. Their hypocrisy makes me vomit.
What happened to the decent guys of that community? Did they get married, move on, but forgot to teach their children not to disrespect women, not to swagger about like gangsters, etc.?
I stress that I've seen this happen too many times to dismiss as some random bunch of idiots of any community. In posting this, I hope to gain some insight, and I would love to be wrong... but this constant reoccurrence has disillusioned me.
