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.
One of my mom's best friend is from Brisbane. She's like an aunt. Personally, I liked Melbourne more. And frankly just because you are from a place doesn't mean you know it's entire history.
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!
VERY true and something that is simply dismissed by a lot of posters here...for whatever reason.
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.
That all sounds 'nice' but reality is that weird guy most likely isn't a vauable member of the team,he has his own agenda.

Honestly, the entire notion of a hate crime is ridiculous. All attacks like these are "hate" crimes. Race should really not have to play into it, in regards to prosecution.
It is a sad story, but it really shouldn't (and I doubt you are, at least I hope you aren't) be used as an excuse to say "racism for Whites is as bad or worse". Though race relations have improved, the fact remains that its legacy has never left. This is why a higher percentage of minorities are poor. The opportunities are more equal, but only for the middle class (which has a higher percentage of non-minorities). So class issues stem from race issues.
Sorry for the tangent, but it's needed to show that while this attack is racist, it does not begin to say that the playing field is level now Whites are attacked. To level the field we need to close the economic gap.
