An Australian woman has sparked a heated online debate after calling out members of the Indian community in Melbourne for allegedly dumping trash into a local water body following a festival. Her post, which quickly went viral on X, drew both outrage and reflection from users worldwide.
The woman, who goes by @TruthFairy131, did not hold back in her criticism of residents in Mernda. Referring to them as “filthy pigs,” she wrote: “Shame on you for dumping all of your rubbish into our waterways after your Indian Festival last Saturday. You would want to get down there ASAP & collect all of your trash, otherwise I will happily identify you & you will be marched down there to clean it up.”
She added: “Aussie waterways are not a dumping ground for your rubbish. We will not tolerate you disrespecting our land & country. So many of us work our asses off to protect our native wildlife & you use their habitat as a tip & put our wildlife in danger.”
In a series of follow-up posts, the woman expressed her growing frustration over what she described as a pattern of negligence by some immigrants. “My friend chased one down the road after dumping their crap on the side of the road. Everyone is over it,” she wrote, saying the issue had become unbearable for locals.
Her comments ignited a massive debate in the replies. While several users echoed her anger, others criticised the post for its sweeping generalisations about Indians. One person commented, “Take a look at the Ganges and it’s considered Holy and it’s nothing but an open sewer.” Another wrote, “You can take the Indian out of India but you can’t take the India out for an Indian.”

Global Climate Change activists strangely silent.
So it’s okay to throw trash in the river like a filthy pig, but words are a crime?
Guess they want Australian rivers to look like “home”
Next, dead bodies floating by….
Sounds like she was merely reporting what she saw, and added an editorial comment. Well, at least she can’t be charged with libel as truth is a solid defense.
Knowing the australian government, SHE will probably end up in jail for hate speech
And being a “xenophobe”.
“Another wrote, “You can take the Indian out of India but you can’t take the India out for an Indian.”

People use that one here but it’s not “Indians. 😏
Maybe in the USA, but I would bet that Downunder it isn’t..................
Australian streets need people crapping on them. It’s good for diversity.
The only time i saw trash in Singapore (about 20 years ago) was after a Sunday movie night in the Indian section. Styrofoam food containers just tossed all over the field and other trash blowing in the wind.
India is the world’s sewer.

The outrage is directed at the Indians for trashing Mother Earth, right?
but they are filthy
Where are the real environmentalists?...............
Lady, it’s a cultural thing. A multicultural society has to accept the culture of its new members. Get over it.
I must say that I have to agree with her based upon my experiences. Way back when I traveled a lot by car I occasionally had the unpleasant experience of staying at a ho/motel run by immigrants from India. These places always smelled like B.O. and the bed sheets were changed after some number of uses, not daily, regardless of whether the occupants changed or not. More than once, after smelling the room I immediately checked out, hopped into my car and drove until I found a better quality establishment.
Anyone that has been to India would agree. Not individuals but collectively they are filthy.
To be fair, educated and cultured Indians will agree with her. They complain about the same things in their own country
Caste mentality - picking up after themselves is beneath them, that’s for the ‘other people’ to do.
In sociology classes, this is ‘their culture’, which is a fine way of being non-judgmental about their third-rate social structures.
