Sadly despite the successful apprehension and prosecution of racist abusers and the increased willingness of normal members of the public to make a stand against these abusers we still get stories like these surfacing.
Unfortunately both stories are from Perth this time. Curiously too, the attacks were both from people from ethnic minorities.
The first involves a series of unhinged racist tweets made to West Coast Eagles star Nic Naitanui by Vinh Nguyen.

The second was a train ranter who targeted a young Asian woman
you said it... 
That neither attacker was white, does not justify it, it just shows how far we’ve fallen and how broken our society is becoming. People are so lacking in empathy, they can’t even detect that they are showing behaviour that could be directed at them. They are just grabbing the chance to be on top of the tree and doing harm while they think they can get away with it
Racism is disgusting.
