Speaking at Australia's National Assembly last week, Ian Macdonald, a member of Parliament representing the state of Queensland, said brazenly: "how can there be racial discrimination in Australia?" "if there is, it's discrimination against white people!"
The congressman made this remark because the current anti-racial discrimination commissioner, Tim Soutphommasane, is about to leave office. In Australia, the anti-racial discrimination commissioner is a special post established by government, which is mainly responsible for monitoring racial discrimination in the community. Speak for minorities and protect their rights before the law.
The current Commissioner, Dr Tim, has strongly opposed the repeal of the Anti-Discrimination Act S18c, so abusing minorities in Australia is still illegal until now. Although it may not be felt by ordinary people, this mechanism is still quietly resisting the political influence of Australia's government executives. Therefore, an anti-racial discrimination commissioner is tantamount to an additional protection shield for the vast majority of Chinese Australians.
However, the Queensland congressman does not think so, he says, the need for a commissioner to protect the rights of ethnic minorities is simply unreasonable!
"I may live in soap bubbles, but I find it difficult to find cases of racial discrimination in Australia, with the exception of very few."
"racism is extremely rare in Australia as a whole," he added. The kind of activity that stops people from being racist is actually discriminating against whites! "
Well, the Honourable member's logic is probably: "I do not see racial discrimination around me = there is no racial discrimination in Australia". However, is this really true?.
The Queensland congressman may not have seen, just a week ago, that a white man in Sydney's Randwick Chinese neighborhood had attacked all Chinese faces without distinction.
Three Chinese women, severely beaten on the face by the thugs, bled on the spot. The 70-year-old man was severely kicked off a wheelchair and beaten to his last breath. They were beaten all over the street full of blood. Only because they are black-haired and yellow-skinned Chinese.
(Chinese Americans were beaten up in the streets for no reason, bloodstained)
The Queensland congressman may not have seen that, not long ago, the far right in Australia put up a large anti-Asian poster on the street, "stop Asians from coming to Australia!" they caused Australians not to find a job! "We can read and write English!"
The funny thing is, there are even misspelled words in this poster (you can find out how many wrong words are in it)
The congressman may also not have seen three Chinese children in high school in Australia who were beaten around Madonna by more than 20 Middle Eastern students just because they were Chinese, torn off their clothes and bleeding marks all over their bodies.
At one of Australia's best universities, the Australian National University, Chinese students were attacked indiscriminately by local students, injuring their heads.
(students interviewed by ABCNews, Australia)
This Kunzhou congressman may not even have heard of it. Just in our village, a 25-year-old Chinese boy was killed by a white woman driving a car. The woman not only failed to rescue but also walked away with great pride. After the cold-blooded told his family: "I did not save him, because he is a Chinese!"
Perhaps some of the village's friends will be drinking with local Australian friends to hear the saying: "Australia's most racist state, is the state of Queensland. After all, the Kunzhou one-nation party chieftain Hansen's Asians out of Australia manifesto is well-known all over the country.
There are other partners in other countries who will complain after getting acquainted with you: "you Australia, really is the most racist Commonwealth country I've ever been to."
Think of the bloody cases around you, and the white congressman on behalf of Queensland said, "there is basically no racial discrimination in Australia", just to say that what is lacking in Australia is not racial discrimination, what is missing is the eyes of some people who see racial discrimination.
We want all Australians to be equal, not to claim privileges, but not to be treated differently. We respect Australian law, and we also demand the protection of Australian law.
Isn't that the most normal thing?
