Wagga African community faces racial slurs, NSW

Mar 14, 2008
A Riverina-based refugee advocate says there is a deliberate campaign of racial vilification against Wagga Wagga's African community.

Erwin Richter says a number of anonymous letters containing denigrating comments have been circulated around Wagga.

Mr Richter says he is aware of racist incidents against Wagga's African community almost daily...

Mr Richter says he is meeting a lawyer today to consider options for legal action against people he says have raised false accusations against Africans.

He says he is not denying that some incidents might have occurred, but that a complaint made early this month over allegations that 10 African youths assaulted a Wagga woman is a fabrication.
