Racial Violence Grips Sydney, Korean Community Spared
The Korean Society of Sydney told Chosun Ilbo on the phone the riots could be seen as expression of anger by white youths who find themselves lagging behind. "There is no chance that this riot will spread to Korean residents," a representative added. There are some 60,000 Korean residents in Sydney and many live around southwest Campsey, close to the Middle Eastern immigrant community.

ummmmm.... no great suprise there.... Are the koreans feeling left out?
Tell me... why WOULD the korean people be at threat??? What do koreans have to do with anything. They're not white? Big fucking deal. Why is the whole "Racial hatred" tag so quickly brought out.... following this the assumption that the problem is white verses non-white...whoever non-white may be?? |

Key word being "mostly". If it were a gathering solely for the purposes of white hate, why was the islander community out there with them? Anyone who's spent time on the beaches around Cronulla recently knows it's become a dangerous place largely due to the presence of Lebanese gangs. People are scared to go to the beach because of those thugs.
The behaviour of the mob was despicable, and I feel ashamed as an Aussie, but the cause of the disturbance was not because "white youths are lagging behind". It was because people are sick of being terrorized by Lebanese hoodlums who refuse to integrate into our society. The original gathering began when a surfie gang called the Maroubra Boys descended on the beach in force to do what the police could not - run the Lebanese Bankstown Boys off and restore some security to the place. Sadly, a whole lot of trouble makers came out as well, got fired up on booze, and a tragedy ensued.
It really bothers me that the international media is mostly focusing on the criminal acts of "men of European descent", and hardly mentioning the crimes of the "youngsters of Lebanese background", as if they're the victims, and that this is all about white hate. |

TRANSLATION: White people can't compete with Koreans, so they became angry and started rioting. |

It seems that a number of Aussies have become sick of the behaviour of Lebanese gangs. I don't know much about race relations in Sydney, but this seems to have been brewing for some time. Lebanese gangs have been responsible for a number of racially motivated gang rapes and assaults.
http://www.dailytelegraph.news.com.au/story/0,20281,17469247-5001022,00.html
Surf Lifesaving Sydney rescue services manager Stephen Leahy said it was common for Middle Eastern men from western Sydney to taunt Cronulla surf lifesavers by stealing their equipment, making idle threats and kicking balls at them.
Some regular Cronulla beachgoers said that the behaviour of Middle Eastern groups was so offensive, they opted to travel to other beaches instead.
http://dailytelegraph.news.com.au/story/0,20281,17483188-5001021,00.html
NICOLLE Dunk has been swimming at Cronulla since she was a toddler, but now the 17-year-old refuses to go to her favourite beach alone.
She has been harassed and assaulted by thugs of Middle Eastern descent who come to The Shire to threaten and intimidate.
Another Cronulla local told how little girls taking part in swimming lessons at the beach were warned to keep their sun protection shirts on as they left the water after thugs called them "little tarts".
Others described the abuse of a pregnant woman because she was taking up room on a stair way to the beach as one of the most shocking recent incidents at the beach. |

| Interesting that this is all about Lebanese. I guess the similarly aggressive Turkish community rules the West, around Perth. |

You haven't worked it out yet?
Ethnic minorities riot = legitimate reaction to racism/economic deprivation etc, etc
Whites riot = racist, ignorant thugs who don't like darkies.
The media reaction is not surprising in the slightest. |

| Actually, the funniest thing about the Australian media is that it describes thw white people rioting as 'gangs', and the Lebanese rioting as 'youths'. The double standard is palpable. |

| This happens in the media in most Western countries. When groups of minorities engage in racially motivated crimes, their ethnicity is rarely mentioned. When whites do the same, their ethnicity is mentioned and the racial aspect of the crime is emphasized. |

You could probably drop a nuke on Sydney and the white gangster death toll would probably be less than 100. I have lived in Sydney all my life - 'white gangster' is something I have never noticed. |
