"Private schools' ethics

A vicious and violent assault among 15 youths, involving alleged
striking with a bottle and the possible loss of an eye ("Vicious
assault as students take rivalry to snow", Herald, July 16). Just as
well they were rivals from "private and independent" schools, or the
anti-gang squads would already be hitting the streets.

Dr Scott Poynting, University of Western Sydney, Bankstown Campus,
July 16."

Good point Dr Poynting...the anti-gang (and anti-Muslim squads) would
have definitely been out in force if the youths looked Asian or
Muslim, etc.

This is the same kind of fallacious argument that one of the racist
left-wing loonies presented in the aus.politics newsgroup. In that
particular case the looney made the claim that allegations regarding
various footballers committing sexual assault showed that "aussie
blokes" could perpetuate these sorts of crimes just as much as the
muslim rape gangs.

The problem with using this example to make the argument was that the
footballers involved in the allegations of sexual assualt were mainly
aborginal and pacific islanders, with the instigator of the bulldogs
situation apparently being an arab. (As an aside, when this was
pointed out to the looney who had made the argument he claimed that it
was 'racist' to point this out.)

How this relates to the current story is of course that there is no
mention of race in the story being reported. There is a story about
private school boys. It does not say what race they are. They have not
attacked another race so it is not possible to assume any racial
characteristics by reference to their victims. Asians go to private
schools. Arabs go to private schools. The reported story is not a
story of racial gangs.

The author of the story, and by implication the person who reposts it
here, wants to associate a story that does not mention race and does
not involve race, as a parallel to the existence of muslim rape gangs
who identify themselves through their culture, select victims on the
basis of their culture (non-muslim), and then when brought before the
courts claim that as muslims they have the multicultural right to rape
non-muslim.

This is an example of the trendy racism that seeks to trivialise the
activities of racist muslim rape gangs and somehow claim that the
activities of these gangs is common throughout other cultures and
races in Australia.

Just to make it easy for the racist who posted in here, the comparison
of racist muslim rape gangs must be with a group of people who
identify themselves through their race or culture (for example, being
'white'), and who select their victims on the basis of the
relationship the victim has to that defining characteristic (for
example, being "non-white"), and then claim that as white people they
have the right to attack non-whites.

The fact that this does not happen, and therefore the loonies have
nothing of substance to compare the activities of the muslim rape
gangs with, does not give the loonies permission to present
non-racial-specific behaviour as an example of what they insinuate is
the behaviour of a particular racial or cultural group, namely white
or european people.

To do otherwise, as the story writer and the poster here have done, is
racist. But then it only goes to show how trendy anti-white racism has
become that they can get away with it.
