A law to convict people of racism when it is actually clear-cut and obvious is great but I don't agree with it being too easy as this can be used as a tool to be used in a negative way. An example: "A person from Asian decent has an argument with a person from an African decent, no racism involved but a fight breaks out but the one is the aggressive person and assaults. In court one accused the other of racism because the other hit the accuser and has backup from friends to cover for the lie."

It shouldn't be a law but it's impossible to police that kind of thing properly. Anyway, it's horrible that you had to go through that kind of thing in Sydney, just small minded people attacking someone for being different, it is so wrong. That isn't how everyone thinks.
