The other 2 examples above are recent Medical Practitioners that were killed or violently assaulted. One was Indian. None of the perpetrators was Anglo Aussie. One Indian Doctor (past president of the AMA) was violently assaulted and it was well publicized initially in the papers as a racist assault without mentioning that the perpetrators were in fact not Anglo Aussies. When the truth comes out months later in the papers after sentencing there is little mention of the nationality of the attackers, maybe a small few lines on page 12.
The last example is of an extremely violent knife attack against a migrant doctor, being stabbed in the neck continually. Again little mention in the media of the attackers nationality, until months later, and again only a brief word. Yet I here you say why point to a perpetrators particular nationality, to which I reply, then why identify the victims nationality.
There is absolutely no harm in knowing all of the facts, provided those facts are interpreted correctly. There is harm when people such as you David attempt to blind people by hiding facts and shifting blame. Lets have all the facts laid open. We no longer live in the dark ages.
