i think this thread sums up one point that has been widespread for years...
"the only people who can be classified as racists are middle-class white men"
whites who get stomped by an 'ethnic' crew = mini paragraph in crime stoppers
people of 'ethnic' origin who get stomped by an aussie crew = hate crime and front page news
i use the term ethnic loosely, since in the end, we're all australian despite many of our attempts to try and distinguish ourselves from the typical 'white' norm. however, is this the work of a 'multicultural' society? i'm afraid not.
* if i'm catching a late night train home, do you think i'm looking over my shoulder for a gang of white people? nope.
* seeing someone being beat up at the bus station by a group of whites? nope.
mass generalisation? call it that if you wish. and as expected i'll pull the race card where i 'have friends of alllllll cultures' (i'm the only anglo-saxon person in my department at work and was the only anglo-saxon person at my tafe, i never had ANY issues whatsoever).
when is the last time you have ever walked through a 'white' neighbourhood? you DON'T, they don't EXIST. because the majority of us are able to assimilate into society and live amongst our neighbours. now.........when is the last time you've ever gone to dandenong, cabramatta, springvale, footscray, redfern, need i continue?
multiculturalism does not exist, and for once, it's not OUR fault.
unfortunately, what i see here is a lot of people simply berating the 'mob' without looking at the underlying problem which has driven them to this point in the first place. in no way am i justifying the actions of the mob that decided to vent their aggression on those who have not wronged them. however, a situation like this does not happen over night.
welcome to the boiling pot that the left wingers created; penance for our eternal guilt for being born white.
I'm sorry
For something I didn't do
Lynched somebody
But I don't know who
You blame me for slavery
A hundred years before I was born
GUILTY OF BEING WHITE
I'm a convict
Of a racist crime
I've only served
19 years of my time
GUILTY OF BEING WHITE
- Minor Threat
