Racism

Venturing out today to find newspapers I found there were none available in town due to very wet weather and flooding, and apparently the papers "got wet". I travelled some distance to the nearest large two supermarket, thinking their supply of papers would have been safe from the deluge - only two Aussies and one local Toowoomba rag left.

While waiting with my loaf of bread and papers there was a child screaming and carrying on. The same child in a trolley was waiting in the queue for the express checkout I gather with Mum and Aunty. The kid was screaming because the big brother had a lolly that the kid wanted. The older boy was teasing the kid, the mother/aunty told the kid to give a bit of the lolly to the baby. The baby threw the bit on the ground. The older boy picked it up and ran off. Mum/aunty had stern words with him which included "f'kin little half-caste prick". The boy was nine or ten and I'm sure he'll develop into a charming young man with a mouth like his mother.

Perhaps there should be some compensation for the mistreatment of minorities (?!) by their "parents".

Apparently you're not allowed to smack them, but you can call them any names you like.
