A teacher at my son’s high school apparently had no choice but to resign after displaying racism while teaching a class. It’s a very multicultural school, I didn’t expect this. But given the amount of racism I get from random strangers in Melbourne, I really shouldn’t be surprised. Looking at threads over on r/melbourne, the introverted and unwelcoming attitude that permeates the city is really obvious. Rationally, I know it isn’t everyone in Melbourne, but God damn these people make sure you notice them.

Unfortunately, I have a feeling that racism/xenophobia is going to be on the rise what with cost of living pressures and the housing crisis.

Insert: Murdoch Cookie meme. You know they are definitely going to ramp it up in the media as a distraction from the billionaires hoarding the wealth and destroying the planet.
