Caption: Aussie Pride? ?Mobs rampage in Sydney Source:The Sydney Morning Herald 2005/12/12
It is ridiculous that racial riots can erupt in Sydney, the biggest city in one of the most “civilized” Pacific nations, or even in the world. The incident sparked by brawls broke out between Lebanese and Aussie young surfers boys in a beach, and than situation is out of control turned up thousands of young Australians set on anyone of Middle Eastern appearance. Of course PM John Howard denied there has underlying racism in this country and said it is only an individual incident or blaming the media incitement for sparking the clashes, it was pretty clear that there is underlying racism running deeply in the Australian psyche, especially the young Australians toward the Middle East people and Muslims. Just worry about how the nation will be if the government and society learn nothing from this lesson.

It's only going to get worse. I wonder how many people that have migrated from another country have not experienced racism. Probably none.
