1. WP didn't even mention let alone make this about race and ethnicity.
2. To be fair it's an unverifiable unnamed source for the rest of us.
3. You put points one and two together and got five. You linked WP's post to your claim to make a baseless and false accusation towards WP of racial generalisation. Nowhere did WP say people were being stupid because they were 'ethnic' .
This has got out of hand. I unreservedly apologise for the false accusation. It was not my intention but I concede it certainly reads that way.
Can you and WP concede I was right. It is about race and ethnicity. Surely the Government's reaction proves this?
Semantics but it involves different ethnic groups rather than it's 'about' ethnicity because these hotspots happen to be in suburbs with an above average migrant population. However, there are plenty of other suburbs with a similarly large and diverse OS born population which aren't hotspots.
One or two greater families breaking the even stricter 5-per-household covid rules from a month ago plus quarantine violations at two hotels doesn't mean it's an ethnic issue (Btw I'm not saying you're saying that either). It's simply that those people broke the protocols and have now spread the virus into the general community again.
Sure in these hotspots there will be a tiny minority of newly arrived or elderly migrants who genuinely don't understand and government info about covid will be provided to ethnic communities in languages other than English to reinforce the message again but that's more due to the demographics of where the outbreaks are.
Unfortunately, there's nothing that can get through to idiots who deliberately refuse to follow the rules because they don't think they can get covid or think it's just "like the flu" and don't give a stuff about anyone else like that young bloke interviewed on Ch 7 tonight.
ps. If the May date regarding those couple of families breaching the rules is correct, it also shows the city protest had nothing to do with the latest outbreak.
