Define a Mediterranean Descendant? For me its Italian,Greek and Maltese. But arabs and Yuogslavs try and fall into that Mediterranean Descendant criteria.

As a Mediterranean Descendant im offended
Of course it includes yugos ... maybe even spaniards

Personally I think that to qualify as a Mediterranean Descendant, your Mum, Nona, Baba etc or in my case MIL, must have one stage put doilies in the fridge or draped them over every piece of furniture.

I have seen it first hand. Cute really. Very house proud.

I think you're oversimplifying it a touch. There is an inherent tribal attitude in human beings, but there is a lot more to why this turns into racism than resources. Ultimately it's experience that creates racism, and that includes resources but also education, environment and just general life experiences. And I think there's certainly a psychological aspect as well.
Well of course. Poor people (including many immigrants) have a negative experience of multiculturalism, especially compared to those of us with a bit of money, for whom the cultural melting pot is an enriching experience.

As for the psychological aspect, poverty correlates to low intelligence, and it's no surprise that poor people (including many immigrants) lack the intelligence to properly understand the complexity of the world without leaning on harmful stereotypes. If a new immigrant arrives somewhere like Bankstown and observes the Aussies living there, it would be understandable to assume that most Australians are junkies raised by single mothers. That won’t lead to much respect for the host population.

Sometimes I think hindyeleven is smart and intuitive beyond our comprehension. Other times I just think he's semi literate and as dumb as you merkins accuse him of being.

Yeah my MIL has a go at Lebanese / Chinese you name it. I don't get it TBH .

That's because you're a braindead idiot who has every thought in his head put there by your Social Justice Warrior masters.

According to morons like you only white, cishetero, heterosexual males (the PATRIARCHY!!!) can be racists and every one of them is.

Oh, by the way...your Asian yelling at the chick in the burqa...? That's not racism. You see, Islam is not a race.
