The popular phrase 'of Middle Eastern appearance' demonstrates the use of racial profiling in framing criminal activity.

Arjay has a closer understanding than some here.
This is not a movie, the end is not yet written, goody's do not always win.
Some with hate in their hearts are intent on destroying the whole western world , that is killing or enslaving us all.
While every religion has at one time or another used hate as a tool fueled by fear this time we face far worse.
A section use pages from the middle ages that in all truth are no more likely to be true than any book of any God to ask people to both kill themselves and murder .
It is long past time we faced as one humanity we are in fact in no need of a God.
And have no right to kill any other human being.
I doubt our enemy's, for that is what they are care about humanity at all.
The end of this problem is far away but the pain is just beginning.

Purely being seen as an Indigenous person or Lebanese instantly puts police in the frameset of being aware of what they were trained for in the academy. That is to believe the stereotype, "they will be rude to you and you will not respect them."

It is a vicious cycle of hate.

The case in Queensland (palm island) demonstrates this. Even though evidence shows one thing, the force (police) support their own rather than the justice for the victim.

What hope is there? We must stop looking at each other with colour and state to challenge our own prejudice first. As the majority, white Australians should begin this process as they obviously have trouble accepting the reality of Land Rights, Indigenous rights and ownership.

Why were no rioters in Cronulla arrested for wilful damage to people and property while several Palm Islanders are serving time for the same.
