Four admit to bashing Sudanese teen

August 5, 2008

RIDING home from his part-time job at KFC last October, 17-year-old Sudanese refugee Ajang Gor was attacked by a group of youths who shouted racist taunts at him.

In an unprovoked assault they called him a "black c--t", punched him and hit him over the head with a Bacardi Breezer bottle, before leaving the Melton resident unconscious on the road and stealing his mobile phone.

Is it all Kevin Andrews' fault, or an inevitable backlash against incompatible diversity? Either way, it speaks of an underlying rejection of diversity that is easily stirred into violence - and that is the real problem.
