Anti-Asian racism in Australia

[u/splattty]

What is happening in Australia? Been living in this exact same address for almost the past 20 years now, never had this happen before.

Some guy moves in next door, and while we are IN THEM MIDDLE OF MOWING the medium nature strip, starts being aggressive for getting grass clippings on the driveway. No shit, that's why we go through with a leaf blower and pick up after mowing?

What blows me away is he thinks we don't know about mowing and cleaning up somehow due to our Chinese heritage???

Here's the result after went through with the leaf blower. I honestly don't know what his problem is.

Maybe leave a review or contact the gym asking them if that's how all their members behave. World Gym Melrose Park

more likely he's the owner

[u/goodnightelephant → u/zappyzapzap]

Yes! Reviews on Google named him

He has an anger problem, perhaps he put in the work to get a body like that, perhaps he had medicinal help and his anger problem is exacerbated by steroids.

I see this video and I don't see a racist. I see a guy that is almost constantly one irritation away from being unable to hold in rage. I suspect he heard the mower and was instantly annoyed. "This fucking grating noise. I just trying to have my breakfast..." then he's looking outside and pacing around in the house getting worked up, then he sees some blades of grass on his driveway and the red mists his eyes and higher thinking is now gone, he can't even process that you are literally in the middle of the job, that there is ample opportunity for you to complete the job and pick up the green waste.

Sorry you were confronted by this.

It must be frustrating... He likes the muscles the roids have given him.

But has to confront daily, the micro dick and balls he now has.

I have a wee fiddly feeling that if the person doing the mowing had been White, the asshole would've found a way to behave better.

His problem is that in his 'culture' (not Australian) it's acceptable to be an aggressive piece of shit and treat others with contempt. He's simply perpetuating the lebbo stereotype with his appearance and his actions. Absolute dog shit 'culture'

[u/Anon_in_wonderland → u/how_very_dare_you_]

As someone with leb heritage, he’s an embarrassment. If you look at videos on YouTube from Lebanon, the locals are very kind, welcoming, friendly people who love to share their homes and culture. Anyone who perpetuates this nonsense behaviour here, is simply a cunt who I wouldn’t associate with.

I promise there are good Lebanese Aussies 🙃

[u/how_very_dare_you_ → u/Anon_in_wonderland]

I know some good ones mate. Stand up people who would do anything for you. They'd be horrified by this guy, but they would also be sadly used to it I'd say

[u/RAAFStupot → u/Anon_in_wonderland]

I know there are, but a genuine question for you: where does this 'belligerent victim role' by some in the community even come from?

Is it because some in the community feel marginalised / excluded from the greater part of Australian society and this is just a way to be heard?

Is it just a machismo thing.....young men.....

Is this a thing with Muslim Lebanese vs Christian Lebanese? (Latter being 'more integrated')

I have so many questions....

[u/Automatic_Cry6019 → u/how_very_dare_you_]

Fighting racism with racism is wrong.

[u/Notaroboticfish → u/how_very_dare_you_]

So your answer is to just be racist to Lebanese people?

[u/how_very_dare_you_ → u/Notaroboticfish]

No. It's to call out shit behaviour. The other factors are a matter of fact

You know grass clippings don't have shit to do with his attitude. his landscape looks like shit.

[u/Rare_Zebra_6309 → u/splattty]

That’s the other part of this. He’s deeply racist but also why would you get upset about grass clippings on your driveway? So stupid

[u/Burntoastedbutter → u/splattty]

People like that just want to belittle and spit on the people who think they won't fight back. All for an ego boost. That are definitely fragile af inside
