If you read through the letters to the editors in most newspapers you would be forgiven for thinking that the attacks on Indian students in Melbourne were being carried out by White Australians.
The Victorian Government, and by extension the police, has a policy of not upsetting their glorious (failed) experiment in multiculturalism. This means that any incident where racism might be present is suppressed.
How does suppression of the truth help any society in the long term, or even in the short term? It might hurt an ideal but certainly it does not protect those being hurt.
The truth of the attacks, according to those who were being attacked, is that the attackers were black Africans. Given the differences in religions they were probably Muslim Sudanese, a group already known for their violent acts against non-Muslims.
This then would indeed be a racially motivated attack but with a deeper base in religions differences. The chances that this will ever be reported in Victoria? Nil.
