"One in three Sydneysiders was born overseas, the vast majority from non-English-speaking backgrounds, and two in three Sydneysiders have at least one foreign-born parent. Yet, in the aftermath of the riots in Cronulla in December, the terms "ethnic thugs" and "grubs" have dominated the discourse about crime in Sydney. The words ethnic and Australian are becoming mutually exclusive." [Crime & Criminals; Society]
