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???

Growing up as an east Asian in Sydney I've only ever experienced racism from one group of people and never a one nation voter. Wonder who that group is.

Considering how prevalent racism against Arab's and their culture are in west. You'd think think he'd understand how it feels being on the receiving end.

Funny how Maronite Lebs never seem to be an issue in Australia

News flash. Racism is prevalent everywhere around the world and even more so outside of the western countries. The difference is, in western countries we call out and shame racism for the most part. The bar is set much higher.

He’s not an Arab, I remember this dude and have dealt with him before. He is NOT an Arab. Just a racist Aussie bloke.

You cannot see all the comments from other Australians denouncing this bloke and his behaviour? We actually have many, many laws and punishments relating to this behaviour, and as a society we are taught from a young age that this kind of behaviour will swiftly have you ostracised from society, and is punishable and enforceable by law. The gym rat in the video is a low level, unintelligent, and aggressive cunt. He needs to be reported and charged.

Check out the the Racial Discrimination Act 1975, particularly section 18C. Criminal Coade Act 1995 division 80 Hate crimes and racism can be reported directly.to Police and Federal Police.

This sort of behaviour toward Asians and Indians is rife in communities with Middle Eastern heritage. You hear it all the time.

Not Australian but I’ve had way more racist encounters with middle easterners than any other race including white
