Non white ? be very careful of the so called Queensland police, a Aboriginal bloke had what was called a fall in a police cell which tore his liver in half.
Given first aid of course not, he was not white was he.
To a lot of peoples surprise a Queensland copper was put of trial for the death of the bloke, all white jury of course, found not guilty of course.
You will find a lot of white Queenslanders very proud of what happened on Palm Island, so proud that the coppers who were on the Island when a few other Aboriginals got upset about the death of the bloke, that the coppers were dished out with bravery medals.

Oh, and one other thing, the bloke found not guilty of the death of a non white by an all white jury and judge is now a copper on the Gold Coast.

(But it actually is very existent BETWEEN asian groups: fobs vs. non-fobs if you know what I'm talking about)
No I had no attitude. I was riding my bike on the side of a country road. The attack was unexpected.

No you did not say it doesn't happen in America; but based on your more recent post indicating Asians have it better off in the US rather than the UK or Australia, it can be inferred that was your opinion.

I was merely saying incidents like these can happen ANYWHERE. People should not assume it just happens down under. I've had Asian friends go to the Gold Coast and they had no worries. thousands of Asians vacation there with no incident.

So the question to be asked is.. why did you not ask the OP if they had an attiitude? You asked me if I had an attitude when the bottle was thrown at me. quid pro quo
