Experts say there is vast underreporting of coronavirus-related racist attacks against Asian-Australians.

The Federal Government has urged Australians to report and call out racist attacks when they see them and to not retaliate against Chinese Australians for any feelings they may have towards Beijing.There are concerns the diplomatic dispute between Australia and China could fuel racismSince the start of the coronavirus pandemic, Asian-Australians have been verbally and physically assaulted, refused service, received death threats and had their properties damaged.

"I also ask and advise individuals to report those cases to the police if it's a serious threat of violence or property damage, or to the Human Rights Commission for any other racist attack," he told the ABC."Ask them not to do it. Don't stand by and let it happen because we all have a responsibility to call it out."

Last month, ACT Discrimination Commissioner Karen Toohey noted reports to the ACT Human Rights Commission of racist incidents had increased in March, including against health workers and retail staff.

Disgraceful race bait reporting from our national broadcaster. Defund the ABC!

Most likely the average Chinese ppl is cleaner

Chinese gov seeding this. Stirring up the minority racist to put pressure back on Australia. The writing on garage door was written by someone who doesn't speak/write English as first language.That E is written in the form of a character. Any Graphologist out there?

Pro tip: Your ex wouldn't have dated you to begin with if he was racist.

Our Chinese Australians have nothing to do with what's happened at Wuhan and how the CCP are dealing with their own idiotic incompetence. Keep Communist ideals away from our country and leave our Chinese Australians alone. Everyone is being affected here! 🙌

Uyghurs in prison camps and Falun Gong just disappear in China due to the undemocratic CCP.

This is a huge difference between Chinese people and the CCP but for the average Joe they prefer to take out their frustration on the innocent.
