wow. but these are two completely different events right? ie. car crash killing 5 teens and "wog" murder? Can't believe she so non-chalantly calls them 'wogs' too.
Australia does seem pretty overtly lynchmob and racist in that respect (big generalization).... the ugly side of mateship?
Canadians are no angels tho.... there would certainly be a similar chorus (tho probably not as loud), and Canadians would blame both tragedies on the Government. The car crash was clearly the fault of the police not conducting the standard road-blocks/checks ..... and the 'wog' killing 'wog' would be failure of canadian immigration department and the education system. The Canadian educational system and the Ministry for Cultural Affairs would be responsible for these people and deemed to have failed them. Canadians would demand an independent enquiry/royal commission/inquest held into both tragedies to assign supervisory blame. If blame could not be apportioned to a specific branch of Government, a royal tribunal would enact a new, multi-billion dollar taxpayer funded "Ministry of Youth" with separate departments for Bogans...... errrr "Disaffected Youth" and "Honoured residents of multi-ethnic lineage"

I saw the other vids about this Clare girl, but I don't see why everyone is so angry with her. What's all the fuss about? I thought "wog" is no longer a racist term in Australia?

At least Canadians tend to respect the law even if it means blaming in a PC way everything on the government, eveytime I hear of Australia in the news it's about some racial riots, mobbing or shootings, they are like a worse version of the US where at least racism is taboo, apparently it is not down under, bunch of exiled convicts..

To me, this is the more f**ked-up thing about Australia: Attackers set Indian man on fireJanuary 09, 2010
It's alleged that as the man was getting out of the car, four men attacked him, pushed him back against the vehicle and poured an unknown fluid on him.
One of the men then ignited the fluid with a lighter before all four men fled.
The attack comes after 21-year-old Indian man Nitin Garg was stabbed to death on his way to work a week ago, sparking outrage in India and among Indians in Melbourne, who say racist attacks are on the rise. |

^ That ain't about race. That's about caste and class.
Funny, everyone has a right to complain about racism. You can't argue that Africans shouldn't have complained about slavery because they did it to their own kind--as it was argued. That's just in bad taste.
Would you mistreat someone just because you think they came from a bad situation and don't know any better? That's called exploitation.

Are EAN members from Australia actually happy in OZ with all the racism and censorship? Strangely, Sydney was voted World's friendliest city.
God awful policies, reminds me of the Japanese law imposing mosaic blurs on genitalia, as if that's gonna protect children from their immensely perverted (imaginative?) porn..

It is perilous to rely on the media for our information; their goal is to increase circulation and profits, our goal is to gain information and the two dont necessarily match. I have lived in many countries, including USA and parts of Europe, Australia has been the least racist of all. The peace and order situation is wonderful, perhaps not as stable as Spain during Franco's regime, but that was at some cost. I would not live anywhere else.

I agree with quiapo.
Just because the media put out these stories about these people it doesn't mean that all aussie's are like that. I have lived in Australia my whole life and have never experienced any racism that I remember, but in saying that I cant deny that there are some racists. But yeh, every country has it's idiots. Also, myself being half Australian, I am a bit offended by the media in potraying "white" Australians as the only racists when in reality racial conflict exists between Australians of ethnic backgrounds as well.
