Your criticism are not reasonable.
Foxy,
Your defence of the unreasonable is what's not reasonable !

A racists attack on a group of Tawainise students in Melbourne by Anglo thugs has made the 6 o'clock news in Tawain. The world IS watching.

Indyvidual,

It's not a defence.

It's stating facts.

Whether you like it or not - the facts remain.

Laura Tingle's personal comments have certainly
triggered a fierce backlash ranging from outraged
calls for the ABC to be defunded, to demands for
Tingle to be sacked.

And so it naturally follows that the person who called
out racism is facing far more scrutiny than the issue
of racism in this country itself.

Our problem is that any discussions of racism tends to
focus on only the tip of the issue. We willfully
ignore the massive iceberg that lies underneath our
systemic and structural elements in our society.

Issues go unchallenged. We'll focus on vile anti-Semitic
slogans spraypainted on walls of Jewish schools. The war
in Gaza has prompted anti-Arab and Palestinian racism,
Islamophobia has reared its ugly head as has anti-
Semitism.

The Voice Referendum led a deluge of racism, as did the
COVID -19 pandemic which prompted anti-Asian racism.

Racism is embedded in our society. It continues to flourish.
People in positions of power should challenge racism and
send a powerful message.

In the case of the ABC - it should back Laura Tingle.
If we are to challenge racism in Australia journalists
must be free to call it out and media executives must
support them when they do.

This is the article Foxy plagiarised most of her last post from...

http://itstopswithme.humanrights.gov.au/news/abc-chiefs-must-back-laura-tingle

She just can't help herself.

The article that Foxy pretended was her own thoughts, is written by the Race Discrimination Commissioner, someone whose whole career and financial status is dependent on asserting that racism is rampant.

I've often thought that our society would be much better if people like this had their power and financial rewards depending on results. eg you'll get paid minimum wage but a massive bonus is you manage to bring racism down by 5% per annum.

Then we'd sudden find that, instead of building up the level of racism, the Race Discrimination Commissioner would be writing articles about how successful they were in reducing racism. Utopia.

Still I can't help but notice that not a single soul here, while more than happy to pontificate on this racist country, has been able to define what a racist country is.

1. It happened in Brisbane not Melbourne. Paul really is a dill.
2. There's no evidence the attackers were 'Anglo'
