Billy Sing is a hero. He was an Australian soldier of the World War I, and distinguished sniper during the Gallipoli Campaign. He killed almost 200 Turkish soldiers during that campaign. Turkish called him "The Assassin of Gallipoli". He was also an Anglo-Chinese ancestry. But in the Australia TV mini-series "The Legend of Billy Sing", he was white washed. It does not mention his Chinese heritage at all. After watching the trailer, I found out the only thing Chinese about the Billy in this series is his last name, which is not a name immediately recognisable as being Chinese anyway. In the trailer there is a scene where the whole family are at the table, they are all white, including the father. If a country cannot even face its national is not white, how do you expect it to treat its people equally. Look at the recent comments made by Pauline Hanson, it makes very clear why there are many attacks against minority race groups in Australia these years.
