I can't believe that ACA is complaining about people opening up businesses in the malls, instead of closing down. Not to mention the "All Asian" is a pure fabrication.

Childish.

As far as I know, the only way to identify someone's citizenship is to check their passport. Facial appearance, language skills and favourte food/sport/music/literature etc doesn't tell you anything. This is what I can stand - instead of considering themselves fellow citizens, the immediate placing of the 'other' as somehow not Australian.
