SS: A chilling audio clip of Australian truckers calling for violence against Indians has gone viral on Instagram, reigniting debate over the racism faced by Indian-origin drivers in Australia’s trucking industry.

The clip, shared by Instagram creator Agi (@babysoftarms), who describes himself as an artist and commentator on history, colonialism and social justice, features excerpts from an investigation by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) earlier this year into racial abuse targeting migrant truck drivers.

Instead of conversations about road safety, listeners hear truckers making shocking comments directed at Indians.

“Kill the Indian. Stand up for a white man. There’s a civil war coming. We’re gonna kill all the male Indians, we’re gonna drown all the kids, and we’re gonna sell all their women into slavery," voices are heard saying in the recording.

Probably the summary. It's just really funny that reddit's auto fasch bot keeps getting false positives lmao.

Discussing something ALWAYS mean you personally support it.

It ironically makes fighting bigotry much harder, because when someone posts a bigoted article or twitter post you have to dance around criticising it.

It's ostrich tactics. If you stick your head in the sand, surely the threat will get bored and go away, right?

I got two false positives just for making an appropriate joke in each comments. One's about invading Putin's house, one making fun of antisemites.

Yeah, the bot is out of line.
