I cant see why it would be racist. Pretty much every country in Europe is blocking travel like this, Belgium has about 45 countries you cant enter from.
They have made it a criminal offence with up to 5 years in Prison if you travel from India. They did not have those laws for any other country when the virus was running rampant in the EU or the USA. If i attempted to get in from Sweden and made it into Australia, i would not face the same criminal repercussions as those traveling from India.
This policy is aimed at Australian citizens with Indian heritage. The fact that some cricketers are now caught up in it will be interesting to see how the government acts. A goverment locking up its own citizens for travelling from one specific country....
