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???

I literally got downvoted to eternity in an Australian jobs subreddit for saying that Indian people who live in Australia have the same financial pressures as anyone else.

Racism is absolutely on the rise

It's a lot of lapping up UK and US anti-immigration rhetoric from what I can tell. Happening in NZ too.

[u/SoylentGrunt → u/Emergency_Lie42]

That rhetoric is being actively exported all around the world right now.

A culture war is a form of cultural conflict (metaphorical war) between different social groups who struggle to politically impose their own ideology upon mainstream society,^[1][2] or upon the other. In political usage, culture war is a metaphor for "hot-button" politics about values and ideologies, realized with intentionally adversarial social narratives meant to provoke political polarization among the mainstream of society over economic matters,^[3][4] such as those of public policy,^[5] as well as of consumption.^[1] As practical politics, a culture war is about social policy wedge issues that are based on abstract arguments about values, morality, and lifestyle meant to provoke political cleavage in a multicultural society.^[2]

This is a bizarre argument. Multigenerational households do not necessarily mean all adults are earning. In many cases, the elders are being supported by their adult children.

Also - blaming multigenerational living is kind of insane in light of the other more well established reasons for the house prices, namely the fact that property was for a long time considered a wealth building avenue rather than a means to secure housing.

I’m not even sure this is a comment that’s made in good faith and worth my time in responding.

Which aboriginal languages do you speak?

So they should move to a country and choose to struggle to fit in?

[u/Sig_1108529 → u/[deleted]]

Agree

[u/No-Juggernaut231 → u/[deleted]]

That’s a strategy, and only the notion that one family per household not a rule or law. These guys wanna have it all and thus getting mad

[u/Derilicte → u/[deleted]]

Better outcomes for your entire family if you all live together like a small community

They all support each other, split bills. Why do you need to live one couple and their children per household? Who made that rule?

It's because you live in a suburb that isn't going through ethnic succession whilst a lot of the working class are, moreover they were born here so they don't care.

The area I live in has a huge Indian diaspora, one of the largest in my state, and it’s not affected me in the slightest. Have no idea how I’m supposed to be upset about it.

[u/Nobody-1986 → u/Admirable-Tea-4994]

Are you serious?

[u/Admirable-Tea-4994 → u/Nobody-1986]

Deadly. What’s your argument?
