What the fuck is with this second class citizen bullshit?
The lebanese who are causing this violence, and who cause the violence that plagues the streets of many sydney suburbs are to blame for any racial-profiling which has been done to the dismay of other lebanese.
omg, thats like a guy beating up his wife and then blames his wife

I'm not trying to be a racist. I have no problem with the lebanese people who have integrated and are happy to be australia. My problem is with the ones causing the problems..
I understand you're not tryin to be racist, but you are. Calling any race second class citizens is racist

what help can the federal government give?
Well, for starters, saying something like this:

"Attacking people on the basis of their race, their appearance, their ethnicity, is totally unacceptable and should be repudiated by all Australians irrespective of their own background and their politics," Howard said.

"But I'm not going to put a general tag [of] racism on the Australian community," he said. "I do not accept that there is underlying racism in this country."

Of course, it being reported at home is too much to ask... :rolleyes:

More police down there would also be good, but I don't know if it's really doable.

And just to vindicate myself with the neo-Nazi involvement: "There appears to be an element of white supremacists, and they really have no place in mainstream Australian society," said Police Minister Carl Scully.

Both quotes are from the Moscow Times: http://www.themoscowtimes.com/stories/2005/12/13/252.html

I still can't comprehend how you people justify Middle Eastern attacks on White Australians.

Sunday was retaliation! Why is it, tell me, that racial attacks on whites don't seem to be as serious an offence as white attacks on ethnics? Why?

You are not racist when you say that youth gangs that use violence should be locked up. The locking up of gangs down south doesn't need people to include 'leb' in their discription. They don't need to be locked up because they are leb, but because they cause trouble and are invovled in gang warfare.

Well blaming someone justifiably is alot different from blaming someone with no cause what so ever. People whom have gone around causing trouble in clubs etc etc are to blame for the racial profiling used in response to it.

In this case, I think that because the scale was different (16 on 2 vs. 5000+ on 10something?) that it was more serious the second time.

Also that the 'aussie' mob hurt the ambos when they were saying that they were down there to protest the bashing of the lifesavers demonstrates to me that this became more to the mob than the bashing. How far that extends, I don't know.

i wouldn't call it a riot. Its just stupid gang disagreements. Its not "warfare" or anything that cuts close to that.

Then if it's not, should we allow everyone else to get hurt in order to accomodate a few? No.

u got a poimt there. at this stage, all they want to do is bash up the lebs, not protect maroubra. so much for vigilante groups...

hey i got information that i am pretty sure hasnt been displayed on tv, despite it happening last night. did anyone hear of a young muslim girl, about 14, getting beat up? well, last night she died in hospital, but does the media announce that? no, they dont, but they DO announce the text messages that are spreading. i havent recieved any, but just by watching tv i have recieved them all infact.
