Mind you, when we were served by someone of Asian extraction we got extremely good service.

I met two shop keepers of Indian extraction. As expected they were extremely rude and one tried to cheat us by firstly charging us for something we did not buy and then they tried to give us too little change making a lot of trouble when caught. No different to Australia (and Moombai) really.
