It would appear that these crimes weren't racist attacks. Both of thses victims were ALONE at night in areas where you shouldn't be. I doubt that they were killed because they were Indian.Demented Teddy said:
You don't set somebody on fire to teach them a lesson. Of course it was a racially-motivated attack.Demented Teddy said:
Even if they were coincidences, somebody appears to be killing Indian men horrifically.
What...the...fuck?
Who the fucking craphell would do that to someone? I mean...fuck the what hell, what.
That's just fucked up.

I really don't know if it's directly a racist thing, or just targets of opportunity. It ain't doing too good for Australia's foreign reputation, though.

When I first saw this I was like "holy shit, no way" but then I saw that it happened in Melbourne and all my surprise was taken away.
Those Victorians are crazy.

I'm not saying these crimes aren't racially motivated, (similarly I'm not saying they are).
But what I do know, is that as racially stereotyping as it is, there are a lot of indians in Melbourne who are taking taxi jobs, crappy retail jobs in convenience stores and similar occupations which a lot of others simply wouldn't do. What this leads to is a larger amount of indiands getting assaulted than Australians.
Whether this holds true or not to these stories is another question.
What is true is that indian press do like to demonise Aussies, and as retarded as I may sound, I do believe it stems somewhat from the cricket.
Also, an Australian woman last year went to India -her dream holiday- for the first time ever, less than an hour off the flight, she had been raped and killed by Indians.
Did it have anything to do with inherent racism in India's culture? Hell no, it was some assholes who comprise of the extreme minority of the country, and morso it probably had nothing to do with her race. And yet a murder happens in Australia and it is considered a show of inherent racism in society.
Perhaps lichtenstein? But they don't really count.
Also setting someone alight isn't exactly uncommon in the world. It happens more than you might think.

Which it shouldn't matter really. I mean what country doesn't have violent attacks, every day, all the time?Bernzz said:

Never said you did, I just thought quoting your post would make my point clearer.Demented Teddy said:
Well, that certainly illustrates the diversity of the word!.Bernzz said:
I do however agree with you what are saying..in essence.
I think the fact that an act of racism in Australia has gained this much attention only highlights how much of an infrequent occurrence it is compared to other places. At least it still makes the news here, like fatal car crashes. None are nice, but they do show that we still consider them to be tragedies. Not that Australia hasn't had it's share of Xenophobia, mind you.
Well, being doused in a flammable liquid and then set on fire doesn't, as far as I know, follow the standard modus operandi of muggings. In this particular case, with such a horrible attack, I think racist motives are more than likely.Skarin said:
I think the question isn't, "was it racially motivated?" rather "is this a part of a wider pattern?"
In Denmark we had an attack on a 16-year old Turkish paper-boy by a small group of whites. They killed him with a bat to the head without any motive other than race. Witnesses heard them say racist things to this poor kid when he was bleeding out on the street. This was a horrible case and the police tried to rule out a racial motivation at first, but on a wider scale, the case didn't concern me because, in spite of the rampant racism in Denmark, these violent acts doesn't occur very often.
So, to sum up my wall of text, of course one should be horrified by this but see it in a larger perspective: is this a common occurrence?
