I was walking in north Hobart and saw the attached plaque for a Chinese laundry that used to exist in North Hobart, owned by a Wah Shing. I thought this has to be someone taking the piss and being racist. But no, there's a old 1940s newspaper snippet about Wah Shing being robbed at their North Hobart laundry. A funny case of nomanative determinism.

Anyways, thought that was fun and wanted to share for those that haven't seen it. I hope Wah Shing got justice for being robbed.
