Racism ruins Eid celebration, Liverpool - NSW

8/10/2008
AROUND 200 Sudanese Muslims abandoned a lunch to end Ramadan celebrations at Chipping Norton Lakes last Wednesday when a small group of onlookers hurled racist taunts.

Kamalle Daboussy, from the Liverpool Migrant Resource Centre, said: ``People simply left and went home. We wanted to capture the spirit of this special day, but it didn't happen.''

Mr Daboussy said a small group kept intimidating people at the feast with verbal abuse until many left.

He said that the Sudanese community dealt with racism on a regular basis.
Racial abuse? No worries, that's a green light to retaliate.
