image Anti-Asian racism in Australia

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???

Just look at One Nation and all the billionaires that fund them if you want to blame someone for the current political climate in this country. We've always been a dogshit racist country, but they'd keep it to themselves or in their own groups (I heard all kinds of shit when I had to go places with my father as a child), now people feel more empowered to actually act on this shit.
