It's obvious with what the teens yelled at the couple.....it was racist. And remember, it is not whites who always cry the "race card." Had this been reversed Sharpton and Jackson would have been there in a heartbeat screaming for justice.

You ask did the family possibly provoke the attack? Incredible. Of course, those teens did nothing wrong now did they? Sure musta been "somebody" else's fault....it always is, isn't it?

Getting back to the OP,

My point is, that crimes such as this are severely underreported. You can bet if the roles were reversed, there would be wall to wall news coverage, with those idiotic race baiters, Jesse Jackson, and Sharpton holding hate filled press conferences. But the story as it is, hardly worth a mention to the MSM. Outrageous!

Even today Australia is actually VERY stable as a nation.
Good to know you know more than I do....however it is kind of odd considering I was born and raised there...

But you know best.

Even very modern history shows this.

Look at the Balkans.
The Balkans have had long periods in their history where the different cultures co-existed peacefully. The problems with multicultural society isn't with the inability of people with different traditions and religions to get along. It's when those societies get stressed, and some people have to resort to finger-pointing instead of pulling it together.

If you go to work each day, and when deadlines loom you focus on getting the job done, rather than focusing on how weird the guy in the next cubicle is, then you've demonstrated how multiculturalism works. Because that weird guy is just as valuable a member of the team as you.
