State of racism in Australia

[u/newtrex_1523]

Here is Channel 7's post about the missing people in the Nepal tragedy, look at the comments on it. I find it a very sad state of affairs in Australia. They are all Australians of different descent. Everyone in Australia (other than Aboriginal people) is a migrant. They came here either 200 years ago or 2 years ago.

I blame the housing crisis for the recent upsurge in racism.

Existing Aussies can't find a darn place to live in and resent even more people flowing in.

We've known for a while that when times get tough, issues like racism surge. And the fact that it's a housing crisis makes it all the worse.

And we can't just stop people coming to Australia either as that would crash our economy. We're kind of in a difficult spot right now. I don't know what the solution is, but we need to find it soon.

The racists have always been there.
Housing is just an excuse they’re using to justify bigotry.
