It would probably open an interesting debate or start a war, cos they dont actually speak to each other!
The Indian guy is the traditional type, and the Pakistani has integrated. Whilst I get on very well with both of them, the Indian is a very strange person indeed. He has today been trying to scrounge an old PC monitor because his own at home is faulty, I find it very strange cos he has been contracting with our company for a large hourly rate and has been taken on about 12 months ago for around 32K. It seems from what he says that any money the family members earn is put into a large pot to be shared equally, and thats why he is driving around in a 13 year old car/banger.
It is very funny to sit in the middle of these two and chuckle to myself when they clearly hate each other because of their different beliefs. I chuckle mainly because I suppose I am the white guy sat there who could be classed as the "stereotypical racist" because I say it as it is, but on the other hand I am tolerant of their beliefs and talk to people even if I dont agree with them.
I read some of these posts today, and thought better of mentioning it though
The Indian guy has a very stern look on his face when I mentioned last week that I was going out boozing and womanising for the weekend. I suppose thats the difference between us, I wouldn't give him that sort of look if he said he was going to spend the weekend praying.
