The strange difference between South Asians here and back in the GTA
In the twenty-five years that I lived in Toronto the East Indian community was portrayed by the media as being law-abiding, even "goody-goodies". Yet, here in the Lower Mainland, East Indians seem to be the main contributors (along with the Hell's Angels, with whom they apparently collaborate) to gang violence. What gives? They are drawn from the same immigrant pool, ie. northern India, and the preponderance of Sikhs in Abbotsford is not any greater than the preponderance of Sikhs in Brampton. Yet, they appear to be *a lot* more rambunctious here. (Also, judging from the photo above, there might just be a bit of homoeroticism involved.)
