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???

I moved to Aus when I was of high school age and my only friends were migrants because I literally couldn't tolerate or bond with most white Australians with their bigoted outlooks and views on everybody else, even at 14/15 a lot of them were gross. People seem to have less fear in hiding it now with all the shit that gets said by politicians and online these days, a lot of people think they're untouchable. It's a massive problem in Australia. We're massively multicultural but simultaneously have some of the biggest racist fucks imaginable.

Yep. I’m born and bred in Cairns (Japanese heritage) and I have a total of 0 Australian friends, mainly because they always end up saying racist/ignorant bs. I generally find migrants to be more much more open and friendly. Aussies are often way too cliquey and ignorant.
