Australia: University of Sydney hit by racist graffiti
The graffiti were directed at Chinese students and contained the message 'Kill Chinese' atop a Swastika symbol.
Condemning the incident, the university said in a statement: "The University of Sydney is committed to ensuring that our community is a safe, inclusive and supportive one. Any graffiti or posters placed around campus of a racist nature are immediately removed."
A university spokesperson was also quoted as saying by SBS: "We do not know who is responsible, although the university's security people suggest that it appears to be the work of a lone individual."
The graffiti have triggered fear among the Chinese students.
Poppy Wang, vice-president of the university's Chinese Students Association, told BBC that she feels less secure.
"Most people I talk to feel sad because they come to this country to study, not to be treated like this," she said.
Earlier, similar derogatory posts appeared at University of Melbourne.
