The African seccy video garnered more attention than the video you posted because it's your classic villain/hero/victim scenario and the one you posted has neither. on top of that it's barely audible.
The racist in the first video is instantly unlikeable; aggressive, young, arrogant, punchable face with a pathetic mo and extremely vitriolic. He held up the entire train, and his mate, who was giggling like a flirtatious school girl the whole time, filmed it and put it up on Facebook for shits and giggles.
The security guard played both the victim and the hero, showing the patience and restraint of the Dalai Lama by passively taking the abuse and even moving to put himself between the racist and other passengers to protect them.
Abbott commented on this particular video because his advisors probably thought it was great timing and saying something would probably be beneficial (to him) in light of recent events.
The video you posted is a completely different scenario. "Two idiots get into inane argument on a train and throw moderately racist insults at each other" would be a more accurate title.
We have a drunk and agitated aboriginal couple trading insults with a white guy who is laughing and mocking them. I'm not sure who the victim is here? No one, in my opinion.
From what I can make out the video starts in the middle of the argument with the aboriginal guy saying something like "you killed and r*ped our women, you dogs... I'm proud of my heritage... You white people got no culture".
White guy replies: 'We shouldn't be proud of raping your women... Why would we rape your women? Look at them. No offence."
(Inaudible rambling for a few minutes)
Aboriginal guy: "Have you ever lived with aboriginals... Have you ever lived in our culture?"
White guy: " Nah, I'm better than you."
And so on, and so on.
Doesn't seem to support your hypothesis very well. It's really just two idiots arguing. What about posting a more extreme example of what you're talking about.
How about this one...
For all our Eastern States friends so fond of labelling all white West Aussies as racist hood wearing bigots, know this sort of scene is essentially a daily occurrence all over Perth.
We grow up seeing this sort of thing from birth.
Bottom line, it's this sort of behaviour that is the reason why the community has such difficulty embracing Aboriginals.....not there skin colour.
