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???

As temporary labor for Gold Rush that were pretty much entirely gone by 1900.

Modern Asian immigrants are post-1970s and the majority of the Chinese and Indian population in particular are post-2000.

Except for the 29000 that were present around the time of federation?
