I just had an incident on my train where i had some young passengers come up to me to complain that a woman in her 50s was racially abusing passengers of Asian background.
I ended up going up to her Penrith and asking her to leave the train. Her argument was she did nothing wrong and that they are what they are.
This got me thinking and hit me pretty hard, I have allot of respect for the baby boomer and older generations especially being in a multi generational military family.
Is it our older generations causing most of the issues?
Maybe due to being from a time when World Wars caused so much distrust and hatred, especially as they were down to Country boundries let alone the blatently racist governments of the time.
It is great that it was a group of teenagers of different backgrounds who came and reported it. Hope for the future.
Whats everyones thoughts?
Are things improving?
Getting worse?
Will things improve once the older generations are no longer with us?
Am i over thinking it?(likely)
