lol at the fake outrage here. Melbourne 20+ years ago was a crime ridden shit hole and these Sudanese youth are angels compared to the Italians, Balkans, Vietnamese and Lebanese migrants who were the main culprit behind Melbourne gang violence.
The Italians were the first to cause problems and these people was referred as the ‘black Italians’ or 'black Mediterranean' to describe foreigners from South Europe living in Melbourne until the 1960s. The media and the police vilified them for decades. After the days of
Carl Williams who ignited violence and shooting across the city just 10 years ago shows that the mafia are still out there causing problems more discreetly.
Then, the Balkan migrants came in the 1970s, the Serbs and Croats were causing all sort of problems and popularizing the gang culture that made the baby boomers hate them. Another similar rhetoric about the Vietnamese in the 80's/early 90's who were supposedly all in gangs dealing heroin, was armed (before guns was banned), using extortion, shooting and raiding homes. Same thing happened to the Lebanese communities in the late 90s/early 2000s where it forced the police to form their own Asian and Middle Eastern task force.
Those days were a nightmare for the people living in the Northern parts of Melbourne but thankfully you don't see that stuff anymore. I'm noticing the same pattern today; Influx of Sudanese coming to Australia during 2005 - 2010s, not assimilated yet because they're new migrants, youth causing problems and media vilifying the community. In 10 years time, that problem will be gone just like the others.
They should be thankful that they're untouched and isn't getting the same treatment as these migrants had back then.
