Hi everyone, if you may, I have an anecdote that I wish to share
with you guys and hope that this incident that happened in Perth
will give you guys an significant insight on the psychology of an
average Australian.
When I visited Perth last year, I was adversely affected by a group
of thugs that rode past me and shouted Go home at me. After which
they sped away before I could verbally defend myself, laughing all
the way as if they were riding rain-deers instead of driving a
car. Anyway, I referred this matter to a elderly acquaintance whom
I met at the nearby hotel earlier at day and his immediately remark
was rather pragmatic and made no attempt to justify their behavior
by producing some preposterous excuses. I was deeply
impressed.
From him, I learnt that why they had held Asians in so much
contempt. The reason was because they thought we were there to
steal their riches away from them..well in this case their
education. (Places in their university) So it was conceivable why
they were to react this way. Just like I held those Chinese from
China in contempt because I think they were uncouth and taking up
the universitys slots in Singapore. The other reason that the
elderly man told me was that unlike Sydney where literally millions
of tourist visited there annually, seldom tourists visited Perth.
Perhaps exposure plays a part.
From what I noticed, I believe the thought of racism in Australia
is caused mostly by the minority of teenagers from several shy
states such as Perth whom they seldom interact with foreigners. I
dont think it is right for critics to classified Australian as a
bunch of racist thugs. Their services is definitely better and more
courteous than those of Singapores. Lets not let so few affect
our judgement on so many. Thank you for your attention, goodnight.
Long live Australia.
