I think the racism bit came in with the opening paragraph of post 1. It's the fact that the driver who killed Amy is an asylum seeker which has led to the question would he have received the same sentence had he been a member of the indigenous population?

Disqualified driver, no tax, no insurance, hit and run .............. and only a four month custodial sentence? How many other such cases have there been? Merely leaving the scene usually leads to major repercussions without all the rest on top.
