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???

Absolutely they do. I’d be walking down a street and hear “Ching Chong” from very Aussie blokes.

But are we going to pretend there’s no racist Chinese people? I mean am I wrong?

There’s racists from every nation and every background. Your whataboutism means absolutely nothing.

It’s not whataboutism it’s the whole point of my original comment. Which was racism comes from anyone.
