'The bamboo ceiling': Why Asian-Australians are most likely to be discriminated against in AustraliaA new survey has found Asians are the most likely ethnic group to report experiencing discrimination in Australia. SBS creating divisiveness & conflating a very minor issue. Always gonna be some dickhead racists but majority of Aussies take you by your deeds. Typical trashy gutter press journalism. 'What'll we do an expose on this week?' 'Haven't done racism in a while.' 'Good idea, done'. Of coarse and who funded that report for who? Positive discrimination , yes .
