Wendy, I'm basing my interpretation on comments from a female Nepali climber friend who has spoken at length with other Nepalis who were at camp 3 but not involved. She was pretty clear that it wasn't some generic "anti-westerner" hatred, but it was about the specific incidents and personalities on both sides. For example, apparently Simone's radio rant was extremely inflammatory/insulting. Not excusing any physical violence whatsoever, but when you get the right conditions unfortunately base human nature takes over it can be extremely ugly. That said, it's easy to understand how the genuine discriminatory conditions that the sherpas are working under could contribute to resentment.
