Colin Deoki of Australia thinks Grubsheet is “stupid” for taking him to task for betraying Fiji’s minorities by calling for indigenous paramountcy instead of a common and equal citizenry and for non iTaukei to be called Fiji Islanders instead of Fijians.
From the luxury of three decades of enjoying equal rights with other Australians in Melbourne, Colin Deoki chooses to side with the fugitive “Chairman Emeritus” of the Fiji Times, Mahendra “Mac” Patel, in arguing for the supreme law to be changed to dilute the rights of non- iTaukei.
There is something utterly perverse in the Motibhais giving Colin Deoki space in the Fiji Times to peddle Uncle Tom’s brand of indigenous supremacy and indirectly attack me for standing up for equal rights. Two Indians willing to offer themselves up to the Chiefs as quislings. Constitution wallahs or servant boys.
Listen up, Col and Mac. Who is really stupid here? Someone who argues that the common and equal citizenry and common identity enshrined in the 2013 Constitution should be retained for the benefit of all Fijians or two deadbeats living offshore who are willing to sacrifice the rights of the minorities in Fiji while they enjoy equal rights themselves?
But of course I am stupid. Because why would I even bother.
* Uncle Tom: A person regarded as betraying their cultural or social allegiance.
From Wednesday’s Fiji Times:
Pita says
Isn’t Motibhai group owners the one who supported coups of 1987 and 2000. This guy’s gave money to cause riots.
God has a special place in HELL for them. They can argue and shout all they want, HELL awaits these sinners.
Happy mongoose says
GD, here’s a suggestion for uncle Colon Tom the Klown and his imaginary ‘friend’ in nz where they both enjoy equal citizenry:
Come back and live in Fiji in the outskirts of suva and experience for own sorry selves what life is like in narere, makoi, muanikoso, vuci, raralevu, koronivia, or even toorak take a pick.
Live here for 6 months and find out for your self uncle Colon. Report back then.
Not surpring for you uncle Colon, to not realize Mark Twain was refering to YOU as the pig in that quote. Oink oink.
Seru says
Put Deoki, Patel and Baiman in “Uncle Toms Cabin” and fire each other

Well Colin has correctly noted that stupid people are not being cancelled in the Fiji Times.
A stupid person by definition and character does not realize that the stupidity they are describing is the very description of themself!
Idiots everywhere says
The problem with Colin is that he is an Anglo-Indian Christian and obviously he is a cut above the rest of the Indians in Fiji. In other words he is a first class dickhead. And what is even more sad is that he teaches that stupidity to his children and his grand children.
And then they all wonder why they are where they are!
