Here's some interesting points about the article:
- The article specifically mentions that it's a girl doing the good thing, both in headline and in sub-heading, yet doesn't mention the gender of the abuser until the body of the article.
- The article mentions that the girl is "a massive advocate for feminism", which has nothing to do with the so-called 'racism'.
- The attack wasn't technically racism, since the woman being verbally abused was speaking Spanish and, for all intents and purposes, Spanish people are white.
I never felt threatened, I just couldn't bring myself to go back there to a place where they were clearly having a joke at my expense in their mother tongue.
Other than that, I find it very telling that, as is standard for the Mainstream Media, they link to other instances of racism in Australia, yet the majority of the other examples linked were primarily women doing the abusing. Those articles also did the same thing where the headlines mention the gender of the victim if she's a woman, but not the abuser if she's a woman.
