I'm brown and it's challenging to see different things handled different ways. Apart from Lemmy, there are very few places safe to point it out.

In Australia after the Manchester attack major leader (our PM and I think the WA premier?) commented on it. This mosque attack is not even on the news (as of now at least)

They tried to enter the mosque but it was locked so lit the car up. Fuck! Why is this not being shown on the news more.

I hope I'm wrong in saying this but I suspect we'll see more attacks like this.

online print media is always the exception; it has the smallest reach and easy to remove/redact when the narrative slips away.
