Worthy Cause

STOP. RACISM.

I am supporting my friend's cause. Please pass on and keep spreading the word.

I've called Australia my home for the last decade and wouldn't wish to have my sons experience the same cruelty. As a parent, I know I can only do so much to shield my children from such attacks. I want them to grow up - proud of their heritage but without feeling that they should be treated like second class citizens in their own country of birth. Let us continue raising them to have a solid character so in any case that we will not be around to protect them, they will always be able to stand up for who they are.

More importantly, let us practice what we preach. Let no one or any similar bad experience transform us to become "racists".
