Well...back now.
Just thought I should make it known that the (both local and international) media seems to be having a field day with the whole "Racist white Australia" bit.
Most importantly, the elements on both "sides" are a minority even among their own communities. What's gone on in the past few weeks has been very much frowned upon by both the majority of the white Australian and middle eastern Australian communities.
I myself see issues on both parts, the racist attitudes go both ways and everyone involved is equally to blame, most of those involved were stupid, drunk young idiots that ought to pull their heads out of their asses, fuckwits making a bad name for their respective communities. Multiculturalism is what's made this country what it is today...we're no more racist than anywhere else, in fact for as long as I've lived here, the majority of what I've seen, and experienced, is harmony among those of different backgrounds.
To allow irresponsible, one sided wanna-be sensationalist media to convince you that this country is "racist" in general, is the wrong path to go down...and I hope that eventually more accurate reports of both sides of these incidents, and their causes are covered in a more unbiased fashion, until then, I can only hope that people aren't judgemental about my home.
