I live in Australia too and don't deny that there are some racist people here, like other countries. But it's one thing to hold those views and another to attack someone because of their race.
In the three incidents mentioned in the article, there is no evidence the perpetrators were racially motivated. The first incident was robbery, for the other two there is no mention of who the assailants were and what their motive was.
There are many more East Asians (Chinese, Malaysians, Vietnamese, Indonesians etc) in Australia than Indians, it would be interesting to know why they are not being affected by this alleged racism, or if they are why they are being silent about it.
Arrest the assailants and interrogate them.
- chaosprophet 17y ago>Arrest the assailants and interrogate them. I agree. Curiously, a lot of people I know (Indians all of them), held the opinion that Australia was an extremely racially biased country, much before these attacks started getting publicized so widely. Must have something to do with that extremely controversial Indian cricket teams tour of Australia, I guess.
- flipper 17y agoYes, when viewed through the prism of our our national cricket team's 'play for keeps' approach, we can appear to be aggressive hot-heads. However, what is considered acceptable on the sports field is not generally approved of elsewhere! In my city there are many people from Southern and Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa, as well as us Anglos. It's a pretty relaxed and friendly place.
