Racist agonies

The reporter of a famous news channel CNN IBN shouting at high decibel on the murder of an Indian student in Australia...there goes another solid material for the news channels to spend some airtime!!
I don't get judgemental on this incident that is..a crime to be condemned..
However.. we could bring a large change to ourselves by just following few things at places across our National borders..
1. Not staring: A straight observation of someone is considered 'rude' as it is denying his/her privacy
2. Mannerisms: Ask for things, sorry, thanks, polite,no trespassing queues, not talking loud in public/phone, respect time, not littering etc
3. Respect law of the soil, mind public behaviour, take care for public property
4. As much as possible avoid talking to strangers, not being at wrong place @ wrong time and avoid talking that may provoke some argument/hurt feelings/induce a bias etc..
Think of ..a typical rich, spoilt, arrogant student with a management quota seat (!) who throughs up tantrums and group ism at local campuses may well get away with any thing here...but elsewhere ?...
Think of ... any one who becomes a victim of the prejudices created by someone like above ?..
Or ..is it just an insecurity or risk that any one of us carry when we travel at outlandish locations ?..
...What holds good any day any where is that..well behaved..well received..Isn't it?
