'Enjoy the tea!' Aboriginal pair have perfect response for 'racist' cafe neighbours

Some cafe diners nailed their reaction to overhearing a couple's "distasteful" conversation about Aboriginals, by sending over a pot of tea to the "two elderly ladies" making the comments.

Jarred Wall was having lunch with a friend, both of Aboriginal descent, at a cafe in Perth's East Fremantle, when they could hear the unsavory conversation, which included "words like assimilation", said Jarred in his Facebook post on the incident.

Rather than unleashing "a tirade of abuse", Jarred decided to do "something nice" instead and bought the ladies a pot of tea.

On the receipt for the tea, Jarred included a note saying: "Enjoy the tea! Compliments of the 2 aboriginals sitting next to you on table 26".

Jarred's Facebook post said that, "Maybe these ladies will be a little wiser and think before they speak".

Jarred's post has sparked quite a reaction on Facebook, with most people supporting his actions.
