I hate to say it but the truth is that a lot of racism has to do with colonialism. One group just removing indigenous or aboriginal people off of the land and coming up with this--we improved things for everyone because we came, we saw and we conquered. The land was just sitting there not being productive, and the real Aussies are English, Irish, Scottish, etc. Not Latin Americans or Africans or Asians, etc.
It has to do with fear for sure.
The young man with Sudanese ancestry is very intelligent. And mature.
The British Empire and their colonies were founded on the assumption of the superiority of the Anglo-Saxon race as well as the extermination of millions of indigenous peoples and the exploitation of enslaved millions black Africans.
The worst kind of Anglo-Saxon racism has been manifested through the genocidal colonial racism that has destroyed many human lives and civilizations.
Naturally, this type of racism is still very present in the British colony called Australia, where the Anglo-Saxon privileged elite continues to oppress the non-Anglo-Saxon population, despite the constant protests of the world's humanitarian organizations for human rights.
The genocide of the Aborigines was committed by the British not by the French, Germans, Russians, Greeks, Italians, or Chinese.
Despite all the undeniable historical facts, there is the latest trend of revisionist historical generalization in the Australian media and even in academic circles where “Europeans” and ”whites” are held accountable for this crime without mentioning the British colonial empire.
In democratic and sovereign countries, in accordance with the constitution (de Jure), citizens are free and equal people, where no one has inherited rights superior to others and who collectively possess sovereignty.
Unfortunately, Australia to this day remains a British colony with a British flag and a British monarch, who is de jure "Above the Law" as Australian head of state, which, among other things, prevents Australia from building its own cultural and national identity.
As a result of that in accordance with Australian constitution this country in fact does not even have citizens but the “British Subject’ or ‘subject of the her Majesty' which is a projection of feudal caste system that is still present in Britain (Subject is derived from the Latin words, sub and jacio, and means one who is under the power of another looking up to a master)
As a result of that if someone literally yesterday came from Britain he has a better chance of being accepted as an Australian than person who was born and raised in Australia but whose parents are not of Anglo-Saxon descent.
To emphasize their privileged position and underestimate others, the Anglo-Saxons do not hesitate to use racist names in their daily lives for the non-Anglo-Saxon population, such as wogs, abbos, lebos, slopes, etc. On the other hand, they use expressions to show their superiority like True Blue Aussies, Real Aussies and so on.
In all major Australian cites like Melbourne and Sydney population with Anglo-Saxon origin is well below 50% in comparison with others.
Despite all this, thanks to the colonial status and a racist discriminatory policy, the privileged Anglo-Saxon population is represented by more than 95% in the police force, over 97% in the executive government institutions and over 90% in the military.
Although most of the non-Anglo Anglo population in Australia works hard and study, the corrupt Anglo elite has concentrated on the civil service and government, enjoying all the privileges at the expense of taxpayers' money.
In such a social and political environment, the Anglo-Saxon political elite and the mainstream media are waging a propaganda war against China, inciting racial hatred towards the Chinese people in an attempt to use China as a scapegoat.
This could give them a welcome diversion from the growing decadence among the privileged Anglo-Saxon class, which has recently been seen in a series of scandals and orgies in the Australian Parliament in which officials raped colleagues in ministerial offices and filmed them masturbating at their boss tables.
