Chinese Students at Risk in Australia China Outrage Over Sydney Train Assault Quote:
|
Australians have always been vaunted as super nice but only if you're white ;) they have a horrid history of racism that still exists to this day against their own natives not to mention the recent riots and assaults against arabs & east indians + muslims now it sounds like their targets are east asians?

I can't believe nobody was willing to help on the train. How can anybody be a bystander to this? I know I would. Totally unacceptable. |

Can't say I didn't see it coming. Knowing the extravagant lifestyles of the students coming out of mainland china nowadays, its not hard for them to fall victim to robberies and thefts. Quote:

didnt aus/nz have the same problem with chinese people back in the 90s? |
"Six people, aged 14 to 18, allegedly robbed passengers, including two Chinese students, on a train between Central and Rockdale about 12.30am on Monday." this suggests they just happened to be robbing people and 2 of them were Chinese. The article seems to be exaggerating the Chinese thing.. mostly b/c of the government warning. Australians have been pretty damn tolerant of immigrants considering the huge influx that they've experienced since the mid to late 70's. Not saying that the immigrants are bad people, but the presence of different races (and their inherent differences) tends to breed conflict in many ways. Also, a greater than usual amount of British convicts were sent there in the 18th and 19th centuries, so it wouldn't surprise me to see a White population that is somewhat more prone to criminal activity than most Northern European populations. |
LOL is this a fucking joke? OMG two chinese kids were included in the robbery, all of australia is dangerous for chinese people! I got robbed in Edmonton, it must have something against scottish lineage white people. |

The offenders should be sent to China to work and repent for their crimes. |
^ That would be an easy ride. Chinese people love white people. |
I just came back from a trip to Sydney. I went through all the sketchy parts of town (Hyde Park, Kings Cross, etc). I took the trains late at night, drank with buddies on the street.. I did not encounter any sorts of violence/racism what so ever. In fact, I felt more safe in Aussie clubs than say, Atlantis (wtf it's called now) with all the icyhawtstunner gangster wannabes. Also, Aussie-women are very friendly. That is all.. |

I Have 3 close friends studying in Sydney. This is not a main concern for them or their friends. Shit is blown out of proportion. |
I spent time in Melbourne and took the train home late late at night all the time and not a problem. Sure there is drunk people on the train (Australians do like to drink!), but never did i feel i was going to get robbed or anything. I'm white maybe that's why. Also, I just don't see how two Chinese people getting robbed means the whole country isn't safe? If it happened day after day that I would understand the concern. I'm sure bad things happen to white people in China all the time. Seems like they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Must of been a tough experience for them, hope they heal from their wounds soon. Just don't blow the whole situation out of proportion. |
Fail to see how one isolated incidence would warrant a country-wide warning. There has to be more issues behind the scenes politically. If it was repeatedly happening, in many different parts of Australia and only to students of Asian descent then yes there is reason for concern. |

in addition to the countless acts over the decades against other minority groups :fulloffuck: side note one of the sources that wiki page uses is a good read about the incidents and the reaction to them http://www.theage.com.au/articles/20...054759536.html |
Racism is wrong. Anytime, anywhere. Period. |

It's the same problem with Indian students as well. I believe one Indian student was killed a couple years back and the Indian gov't had to step in. The issue is always unemployment amongst the natives, when they can't find jobs and they see foreigners invade and take their jobs and make schooling more expensive you see incidents targeting these certain groups. |
Yep Indians have had problems in Australia too. Violence against Indians in Australia controversy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
