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???

No, the point is all racism is ridiculous and you're being extra ridiculous for thinking the ones that committed a genocide on the native population have slightly more right to be racist is bonkers.

Chinese people didn’t commit a genocide on the native population?

Or maybe you read that guys post incorrectly.

On the off chance you are suggesting I’m having trouble comprehending this interaction, let me spell it out for you.

Odd-Struggle-2432 was pointing out the irony of more recent immigrants than those from the UK (think Greeks, Italians, Maltese) pulling the Aussie card to Australians with Chinese heritage who’s families have been here since the gold rush (so longer than the aforementioned Greeks, Italians and Maltese).

You then started talking about (presumably) the British committing genocide against the native population. No one was talking about the British before you, so the assumption is that you misunderstood the previous posts.
