Racism!!!!! Is this kinda thing getting worse?????

Is it just Social media, or is this kinda thing getting worse?????

What is honesttly wrong with people?????

What would you do, if you were on these buses?????

What should be done about incidents such as these?????

Just 2 examples of recent occurrences!!!!!

i have in the past in will continue to do so in the future confronted ppl like this, the threat of cutting someone’s head off if they continue with their rant has worked a treat to shut them up i have found.

Racist, ignorant people disgust me. Racism has no place in our society. Deano, I’m happy to hear you put those people in their pace. I would do the same.

I have often wondered if these things happen more or if it is just because this stuff is easier to share with the world…

Either way it shouldn’t happen at all!

I think that has a lot to do with it Kim,

Thanks to Youtube/social media alot of issues are now brought to attention faster than before

sadly…...its the latter

agreed with humdingaling, it is the latter….fortunately i have not come across any of this yet but if i did i wouldn’t tolerate it…unfortunately though i am smaller than most ppl and am not as intimidating as others haha

You really both think it is worst??

Why? What is your reasoning behind this besides social media?

Especially RPS if you say you haven’t directly experienced it?

(I am deeply saddened by this news )

Oh boy do I want to test this out next time I see you. Unfortunately you have those fierce guard dogs permanently by your side!

On topic, it’s being going forever. Not even a halfie like me escaped the wave of people the lovely Pauline Hanson gave voice too during my school years (nothing bad but annoying none the less)

Yes but has it increased??

(don’t condone it just curious?)

I Reckon is the increase in exposure to episodes like this due to social media rather that the increase of racism

Agree.  If anything I think it may be slowly declining.

This…

I work in retail.. half of my dept is Nepalese and the other half Chinese.. I’m the odd one out being Aussie and honestly.. I love it.. I learn so much about other cultures..

I get so mad when people speak down to them.. they are like my adopted family ( I see them more than my family..) and people are so rude.. one lady spent 10 mins explaining what she wanted like one of the guys was a 2yro.. I actually said.. he does speak English and he is a human (infact he has multiple degrees in Nepal).. so treat him like one.. she realised what she was doing and stopped..

not saying it hasn’t increased, there is just more exposure

random drunk jack a$$es or mental brain explosions will always happen…nothing can stop that but no one had phone cameras back then to record anything back in the days.
even digital cameras were scarce when i was growing up

though much improvements has come since i was growing up in the 80s
racism didn’t ever stop…..it just moved it underground but now with social media racists can find their kin much easier
