		<description>well apparently ( though who knows) the statement issued  said that the two companies did not &quot;share the same strategic vision, business model and values&#039;

now that doesn&#039;t sound like its saying anything about the ethnicity of its owner. Though that obviously doesn&#039;t preclude any racist feelings, but i don&#039;t see why anyone should imagine it should automatically be the case, just cos the guy is brown. Isn&#039;t that being a little too colour/race conscious?


i wouldn&#039;t want over-rich in-laws anyways. they&#039;d probably just think they could buy you. people with way too much money always get bored and jaded anyway.</description>

		<description>All mere posessions. He can&#039;t take that house with him. I have a enrichment of the soul. Still the soul may have wealth of knowledge, but that don&#039;t pay my debts.

I will be doing the lottery this week. May not be able to buy that house with the winnings but I can go one better than the groundfloor room in my parents house.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know whether the guy meant it in a racist way or in terms ofthe trade union slashing that Mittal would inevitably undertake - the French and others are notorious for the Union regulations and workers rights and so on - and Mittal cuts through all of that ie: our unionised business culture being ravaged by les anglo-saxon business model.

But maybe that is being too generous to that man. 

And coruja is right - there is going to be more and more of this as the Indian and Chinese businesses start playing the field increasingly in the West - just as the growth of Japanese business interests in America sometimes led to &#039;yellow peril&#039; rhetoric and racism.</description>

		<description>This is just a wake-up call, globalisation has so far really worked one-way. I expect more of this sort of comments about values and cultures in the future - not really surprising it came from the French - and more waving of inflatable pink elephants outside parliament.</description>
