I was sad to read in the Canadian newspaper about a racist remark made by District judge Peter Hollingworth to Deepa Patel, an Indian-origin woman while hearing her harassment case involving her ex-boy friend.

The judge's remark clearly shows his racist, narrow and prejudice minded attitude. Patels and other Indians who immigrated to different parts of the world, worked hard, well educated and due to their strong work ethics many holding high profile and very responsible jobs in any field – medicine, accounting, pharmacy, teaching, IT, banking, finance, engineering, politics at all levels of government, air lines pilot, sports like cricket/hockey, acting, charitable organization, business and list goes on.

Judge Peter Hollongworth and his like minded people must wake up. You are living in 21st century and not 18th century any more.
