My issue is the idea we need to target one ethnicity because of crime, and ignore the circumstances that lead to crime.

Let's use the aggravated burglary point you made, with that statistic of 8.6%. Firstly, they represented 8.6% of the offenders, not the actual offenses.
The "alleged offenders from Sudan" they listed were 60, out of the total 698.

So the idea of specifically targeting the Sudanese population, while not commenting on the 91.4% of other offenders is racist. It's racially profiling them, while still completely ignoring the underlying issue.

I'm not seeing any threads about the NZ's, or Indians or Vietnamese.. yet often the Sudanese are selected as the 'problem' group.

Ignoring the fact the population differences between the 5 groups....show the statics per captia (in relation to there population in the community) and you find newly arrived Africans are well over represented in crime.

No one is targeting Africans or anyone else but they make up less then 1% of the population and something like 1 in 5 are involved in a serious offence

Not being racist these are facts - most of the circumstances leading to them being involved in crime are due to factors that happened prior to arrival in Australia - this the issue is with the way the country of sudan treats its people not Australia but if you say that publicly you are labelled a racist
