Special notice needs to be paid to the fact that this was on the Frankston train line.

Incorrect good sir! It is a bus!
Stay classy Frankston.

Oh yes, you are right. It was a train line replacement bus. I be confuddled.

It's so hard to not just want dickheads like this just removed from society, just taken out of altogether because they just have no right to live around other people. I've seen a share of fucktards like this on trains/at stations, and I just wish they were fenced off from the rest of the country and allowed to die off.

But that's not really the solution is it? The reason these fuckwits exist is fear and lack of education. This absolutely horrible, abhorrent mindset is born out of living a life that is insular and not exposed to people of other cultures and backgrounds and discovering that really it's ok that people exist that are 'different' to you, and the vast majority of people from any culture are really nice and just want a happy life. And the fear comes from thinking that these 'other' people are going to make you the minority instead of them, and thinking that you're losing your 'power'.

Urgh.


*promote this horrible reality of some people in Australia. I'd love to believe that all of us here were as accepting as the majority of us are, but the fact is there's this entire set of horrible, racist shitheads, and there's an entire other set of people who aren't 'bad' people but have this racist undercurrent to them that comes up every now and again, and you are taken aback and go 'Fuck me, I'd never have guessed that you could feel that way about a whole race of people'

It just fucking saddens me. Any time I see something in the media about people being racist here I so want it not to be true.

Don't feel too bad, that exists in every country. It's not a racist thing, it's a human thing =(

Isn't Australians mostly descendants of all the scum of the british commonwealth, if my history is accurate? It certainly shows here.

I feel so sorry for the child of those stupid fuckheads. I really hope they get a serving of justice upside the head

I haven't watched the vid, but just based on the comments here I had some opinion:
There is this assumption that racism is an inherently human thing, and while I agree that fear of the unknown is a natural human element, I really believe that 99% of racism is passed down through culture.
If you put a mixed racial society with no previous history into a cultural vacuum, I don't believe several generations of their society would produce anything like the racism we have today.

Right in front of his chidren, too. Poor kids.

I didn't realize Australia had a Tea Party.

Do we ever.

It's nowhere near as powerful as in the US, and doesn't have the same fundie dimension. But the ideology is about the same. Likewise the number of nutters.

And just like in the US, it's largely an exercise in astroturfing (here it's led by the mining companies). In the absence of a partisan cable news network, radio shock jocks do the job of Fox News.
