AUSTRALIAN WHITE SUPREMACISTS surrounded and harassed an Iranian-born lawmaker at a pub in Melbourne on Wednesday, calling him a “monkey” and a “terrorist,” as they filmed the encounter for their Facebook page.
Footage of the incident recorded by members of the white supremacist group Patriot Blue showed that the lawmaker, Senator Sam Dastyari, refused to take the bait. “Honestly, I think you guys are a bunch of racists,” Dastyari told them, “I don’t have time for you.”
With what the Australian politics observer Sean Kelly called “the self-satisfaction of a 5-year-old who’s just learned the phrase ‘I know you are, but what am I?'” one of the men then asked the senator again and again, “What race is Islam?”
After the men followed Dastyari back to his table and continued to ask him, “What race is Islam?” the senator’s friend and fellow legislator, Tim Watts, leaned into the phone of one white supremacist and replied, “What race is dickhead?”
