bloody hell just saw images on the news of anyone of arabic and Mediterranean appearance being attacked by a huge mob of drunk white australiens of ALL ages. some poor women was being beaten on the ground until she got rescued by police...im sure this is a minority or i hope it is but my thoughts on australia have certainly been tarnished.

Australians....
There is racism in every country...
This was pretty bad though.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/4520218.stm
don't we all live in a fucking shit, intolerant world? it seems just like the birmingham riots and paris riots.
whatever happened to love thy neighbour?
All 3
riots were for very different reasons though.
brum: asian guys rape a black girl
paris: police chase asian yo0uths into a power substation
aus: asian youths beat up a life guard
i'd say brum and aus are similar, but they are all still from racial mistrust.
australias pretty right wing
hence me not having any real desire to return there. (i am australian. kind of)
John Howard
is worse than George Bush. This doesn't really surprise me.
It makes me sick just thinking about it.
How can anyone just decide to attack somebody because of where their parents were born?
Yeah
and where were those Aussie's grandparents and great grandparents born, though?
i'm not suprised
but it really is disgraceful what some people feel they can get away with.
"Aussie, Aussie, Aussie... Oi, Oi, Oi,"
Ah yes, those plucky little indigenous white Australians.
Oh hang on a minute... :-/
With the
way I look I'm glad I'm not in Australia.
!
Australians can really piss me off sometimes
.
sorry, that should have said 'some'
Howard is as bad as Blair
I agree about John Howard; he has been promoting racism throughout his tenure as prime minister.
people are fuckwits
that's
a very horrible situation, obviously.
but, did anyone else laugh when you read that they were chanting "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie... Oi, Oi, Oi," ?
Nope? just me then.
these people....
are just deluded as usual...they probably don't know anything about lebanon or the lebanese. Having been there many times myself and explored the country, the lebanese are some of the most cultured, friendly and diverse people I've ever met
All
of them or just the ones you met?
Austr-alien
austr-alien? homesick_alien?
it's all coming together very neatly.
Teehee.
I know what'd be funny. Get a megaphone, and go to a riot and shout:
"YOU'RE ALL SHIT! YOU'RE ALL CONVICT DESCENDANTS!"
Then they'd all run after you and stop fighting eachother.
Two wrongs ALWAYS make a right.
and three rights
make a left
also
i lolled at wrightys post ...
