Police are investigating death threats in a disturbing racist letter sent to councillors Kun Huang, Craig Chung, Nancy Liu and Christina Wu that calls Chinese people trash, blames them for coronavirus deaths and says they’re “the dirtiest kind of people in the world’.
Cumberland councillor Huang revealed the anonymously written letter all in caps and addressed to him was sent to the council’s Merrylands office on Friday, while Sydney City representative Chung, and Georges River politicians Liu and Wu received a copy of the almost exact, expletive-riddled letter sent to their respective councils in Sydney and Kogarah.
Sydney City police command is investigating the shocking letters that calls for Chinese people to be murdered.
“You are a waste of space to society,’’ it said.
“All of you Chinese people are worth killing all at once.
“This country was built by white Australian people who will ever be apart (sic) of this society. I do not give a f*** about you being a counsellor (sic).’’
The letter’s harsh content is riddled with expletives and insults.
“The Australian public do not give a f*** you have a voice or say in this country. You will always be Chinese trash that we buy and trash into our garbage bins.
“No matter how much you breed or try to breed with other nationalities your kind will continue to have the ugliest features like slanted eyes the ugliest yellowish skin and hair that can be good enough to wipe the Australian public’s arses with especially when you stole all of our toilet paper and shipped it all to China.’’
Cr Huang raised the issue at a council meeting on Wednesday night when he said he had a “heavy heart’’.
The letter started offending the name of the 30-year-old councillor, who migrated to Australia from China as a nine-year-old.
“So, did you parents run out of Chinese names to desperately call you Kun? Or is your name short for C***!’’
Cr Huang said he was “absolutely disgusted’’ with its content.
“To do this towards another fellow Australian is just despicable,’’ he said.
Cr Chung, 52, is a fourth generation Chinese Australian who said racism in Australia needed to be stamped out.
“The institutionalised nature of racism in our community needs to be stamped out, and when people feel like they can write letters like this, it means we haven’t worked hard enough that everyone understands that diversity is so important in Australia,’’ he said.
“Apart from indigenous Australians, we’re all visitors here.”
Councillors Wu and Liu declined to comment.
Sydney police were contacted for comment.
The investigation comes as a Lowy Institute report shows one in five Chinese Australians have been physically threatened or attacked in the past year because of their heritage.
