I was outside Henderson Paknsave today and some cars from one direction had stopped at the pedistrian crossing for pedestrians. And an elderly Chinese man crossed about a metre away from the crossing (keeping in mind there's cars stopped and other pedestrians on the crossing. I then saw a truck come speeding towards him and slam on the brakes just before it hit them, and I looked up and there was an angry, white, male baby boomer giving this man the most hideously cruel look.
I was so shocked, I screamed an "oi, stop" at him and he looked at me startled then drove away as fast as he could, over the safe speed limit in the car park.
What gets me is that he felt so free to speed up and nearly hit a man (I detected racial motivations) without being challenged. I just think that they're not called out enough for their behaviour for letting their dogs ruin the environment and displaying racial tendenices towards others. I know that its ok to dislike different nationalities, but threatening their safety in public like that is too far.
