Come to Melbourne, where Chinese people have lived since the 1850s and are fully embraced.

Anti-Asian sentiment sharply rose during the pandemic, which received major attention until it became clear who was perpetrating it. Shame things like Stop Asian Hate haven’t received continuing support.

I mean, it’s Tassie. I am not really surprised.

I imagine a decade of anti-chinese propaganda and fear-mongering from the Federal government and USA is a large part of the problem.
The increased relative poverty, unemployment and cost of living would be another dtiving factor.

My Chinese family have been in Australia for longer than there has been a federated Australia

Australia is gearing up for a confrontation with the Chinese in the near future, unsurprisingly anti-Chinese sentiments are on the rise
Edit: being downvoted for speaking the truth, stay classy Aussie

It depends. I think it happens a lot more in areas that are more white and less diverse. Leave Tassie and come to Sydney/Melbourne!

Bus mall twerps. Big enough to cause trouble but too young to get in trouble. Little losers.

The more regional you travel within Australia, the more prevalent it is, either open racism/discrimination or in more subtle and casual ways. Go to a lower social economic/disadvantaged area with government housing, high unemployment, truant kids. You can’t expect much.
It’s gotten a lot better in the past 20 or so years. But if you don’t live in metropolitan Melbourne or Sydney, there is a noticeable difference.
Feel sorry and sympathise for the lady in the article. Youths with no supervision or direction in life, antagonising a women just going about her day, pathetic behaviour.
