Nowadays it is more common in Vienna to address non-austrians in words
like these: soon we are going to send you back! When you are already living
there several years, it is more than hearting. Lot of these people came to
Austria not to eat Sachtertorte, but live a life in reasonable conditions. But
suddenly your fellows start to tell you that your time is over, and this openly
in the bus! They wouldn't have dared to tell you before Haider was en vogue,
and there lies also the implicit danger of such people: they encourage others
to commit low scale crimes, which are the spearhead of real and heavy actions
aganist any non-austrian looking person.
