Almost 400 racist attacks have taken place in Australia mainly against members of the Asian community in Australia since the beginning of April 2020

That's according to a survey by the Asian Australian Alliance and Being Asian Australian, there have been nearly 400 racist attacks that have occurred mainly against members of the Asian community in Australia since the beginning of April 2020.

Australian National University Research released earlier this week, found that three out of four Australians had a feeling of racial bias towards indigenous Australians.

It is feared that it is still unclear what racism means.
