Sydney Racial Riots

It may be politically correct not to admit that a Racial Riot is breaking out in Sydney, but I hope this will not be swept under the carpet. Mr John Howard may not want to name it a racial riot, but he may really want to give the Australians racist mentality a hard look.

It's not explicitly talked about, but it does exist.

My friends who stayed in Perth for some years had experienced it now and then. For eg. not getting immediately attention or waiting for extensively long for a police action when their car was hit. Unless Perth's sheriffs are any less efficient then Singapore's, they would say that the prolonged wait was simply because Chinese are treated as second class citizens in the country.

I had went to Sydney and Brisbane on a tour just this year. The hostility felt was not something that I would say, was just a one off incident. My hubby was waiting for me at a bench in the Gold Coast. He had paper & sorts thrown at him from some losers standing on the second floor balcony of the building beside the bench. When he looked up, they rudely jeered.

Gold Coast is a tourist attraction, but the locals there are in no way friendly towards tourist. Sydney is the city with the most number of immigrants in Australia, but still, rude remarks were passed when Chinese patronise their store.

The current racial fights are outrightly telling the Australians to hit back at 'Lebs and Wogs'. I don't know how else not to acknowledge the fact that this is indeed a racial fight.

It may just show that racial discrimination runs deep in Australians. It is a fact hard to ignore, and difficult to cure.
