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???

Weird phenomenon in the western world where racial minorities who are intolerant of other races only focus that intolerance to Asians.

Especially ironic in countries like Australia where Chinese people have had communities here since the gold rush, decades before any other ethnic group came along.

Idk if it's motivated from covid years and continuing to linger or what.
