Racist Attack In Maroubra
Daily Telegraph, October 17 2006

So a family having a BBQ and enjoying the wonderful Sydney weather is viciously attacked by a gang of 20 youths in a racist attack.

You'd expect this to be front page news especially since the Cronulla Race Riots. You'd expect to hear talkback shock jocks whipping up hysteria and telling these people to go back to their own country if they can't abide by our laws.

And you'd expect Naomi Robson to throw on the makeup and do an expose on these violent ruthless gangs.

But you'll find none of that- why????

Because this was an attack on an Asian family by Caucasian youths.

Racism spewed from their mouths during the attacks with comments like:
'Get the f. . . out of the area, do you know this is our area, you filthy f. . .ing Asians'

Now let's say it was the other way around, what would the outcry be if it was Asian youths attacking an "Aussie" family? What if it was a Middle Eastern group who was telling a Caucasian family to get out of the area? What would the outcry be?

The double standards of the media in this country make me sick. They are happy to paint the minorities as villians but when the perpertrator is not from a minority group the story is virtually ignored or not sensationalised.

Think this is only my opinion? This morning John Laws during his morning radio show said virtually the same thing and I am paraphrasing here- Can you imagine the outcry if these thugs were Middle Eastern , it would be plastered over every front page- that is from John Laws, someone who cannot be accused of being pro-minority group.
