Did someone put the alert out to asians around the world? You have people who don't even live here commenting on the bogans of Tasmania. When I went to Japan there were old ladies calling me white devil on the train and they proceeded to talk about me thinking I couldn't understand them. The point is if words hurt you don't leave the house. Who cares if overseas students pay a little more at universities? They use our roads, buy our houses, rent our houses, use our hospitals, the list goes on. How much does all that cost our society? More than the little extra they pay at uni. We have decent hard working tasmanians living on the street and in shelters because they can't find rentals. We have disillusioned 20 somethings unable to buy houses because of the price which in part is driven up by these students and their families.
