This article by Aussie journo, Sushi Das, is freakin' brilliant.
"What lies at the root of the Corby hysteria is a Eurocentric view of the world - a view that ultimately celebrates the rise and triumph of the West over the East. At the heart of this idea is an attitude that, broadly speaking, the West is dynamic, intelligent, rational, free, tolerant, honest and civilised, while the East is stagnant, ignorant, superstitious, enslaved, intolerant, corrupt and barbaric."
While Malaysia is plagued by rascism, perhaps the Australian nation is plagued with international-ism?
