Middle East is a subcontinent like Central America, they are not real continents.
Their main ethnic divisions are Arab, and Armenian. They are not brown. There are only black and white.
You are attempting to break down races into
biological categories, if you actually knew something about the topic aside from your google.com research, you would find that these categories and classifications are simply nonexistent. Race is a
social category, and is not as static or permanent as you make it out to be. It is sibject to fluidity and what may be considered "white" in one country may be considered "brown" in another. For example, mestizos in Mexico who live in Finland would hardly be considered the white norm. The same for Christians living in Egypt, when they come to Australia, they are treated with comments that highlight their Islamic heritage--in spite of the fact that it doesn't exist.

Some people will never learn, this gives Australia as a whole a bad image.
A bad image that may just be accurate of what most Australians truly feel.

As for the young Lebs (27 yrs old + not included) you're in another country so respect the goddamn laws for a change.
I'm sure they aren't acting under Lebanese law when they are intimidating people at the beach, so that "you're in another country" shit is just incorrect. And plus, how many of these kids do you think are from another country? Mase (or someone else from the actual area), are these guys born here to immigrant parents or did they migrate themselves?

I am beginning to lose faith in people's ability to learn, and am close to believing this.

The aboriginals "migrated" here from Asia when the islands were closer.
That was a loooooong time ago, plus they didn't steal it from anyone, should original inhabitants have a right to consider it 'their' own?
Seeing this shit almost brought a tear to my eye, just as a result of the audacity of the whole situation. But then again, I don't live there and the media surely isn't going to give the most truthful portrayal of the events, but whatever the case, anti-Muslim/Middle Eastern hysteria is surely being whipped up and continues to grow and is not moving us in a positive direction.
