And Yes, Australia Is Racist.

What happened in Syndey couple of days ago ?????

I agree with Sakshi on this one, even if I am agreeing in a knee-jerk kind of way. My ex-girlfriend at college was from Mumbai and she used to go out with a Lebanese, and she went as far as to join the Lebanese SA at the college, but as soon as she went and met her boyfriend’s family she knew it was over because they treated her like a third class servant (most likely because indians/south asians do most of the menial jobs in the middle east).
And again, I’m not really generalizing here, and I’ll admit I’m not a full expert, but I do have to say that a lot of my indian/pakistani friends have lived in the middle east or were born there and the stories are no different. The working class attitudes towards westerners are just as ignorant and racist and vice versa.

I follow such incidences closely and your take in this instance is quite interesting. It is true that it is only racism when judgements are made largely or purely based on the colour of the skin, I shall continue to give it some thought.

But tell me, when William Bennett hypothetizes (it’s late and conjugation may have slipped, indulge me), that your crime rate would go down if you aborted every black baby in the US, is he being racist or isn’t he?

It is very unfortunate that such race riots happen in 21st century.We must have atleast certain amount of gratitude towards countries which gives us a chance to have a better life .It is deeply regrettable that people who migrate to other countries, afterwards turn against the adopted country.For exploiting the adopted countries wellfare system ,people has no doubt.But they are unvilling to even understand the coultre of adopted lands.For this situation to change,migration must be allowed only to people who are highly educated.And these people also must be acessed to know about their views on multicultaralism,multiracialism,multireligionism,liberalism ect.Those people who are averse to these concepts must not be given permission for permanent migration.It just takes commensense to understand that it is impossible for majority of people who comes from countries where regid religious concepts are held (muslims)to get adapted to liberal countries.

Suggestion: Use less boldface, try to keep emphasis minimal, and emphasise using italics or *arterisks*. Boldface puts people off.

saying that middle eastern youths “have displayed active, overt racism against the mainstream Australian community” is a touch dramatic dontcha think? isnt it possible these kids are expressing dissatisfaction against a society which regards them as scum, a common problem both in singapore and london (many somalian/ middle eastern kids in london give up on trying to intergrate with the white middle class cause guess what? the white middle class doesnt want them). alternatively, a lot blacks/middle easterns migrate to the most poverty stricken areas in london, hence they get involved with crime, s’not just because theyre ethnic.
australia has a hideous record on race. the country was founded on discrimination against native aboriginies and went on to treat chinese immigrants like shit (Lambing flat riots), even australians in london (first hand experience) are generally backward thinking yokels in comparison to man in the street here.
get a grip. australia has always been racist.

I agree with most of what eurasian londoner says – however, i do feel that raping or bullying people because you are
not accepted by the whites is wrong.

There is NO EXCUSE for hurting innocent people!

The solution as i see it is to study hard, earn more and prove that you are superior or equal!

Asian communities should unite and express themselves in a sane and rational way
eg: posting to the web, detailing specific incidence’s of racism by the whites, forming their own communities and
doing things that improve their image in western society (social service, helping the old, community service)!

Mate its simple if you come here you abide by OUR laws, OUR traditions, OUR way of life. We have got it so good in this country compared to many others and its as simple as if you dont want to be Australian your more then welcome to go back to where you came from… Religion is not a excuse to be diffrent, as soon as you cite religion/diffrent culture as reason to be treated diffrently people will not concider you “equal” and this is where all the problems start.

Ref: “Aussie says : …iif you come here you abide by OUR laws, OUR traditions, OUR way of life.”

That statement seems to be ill thought out or racist.

I COMPLETELY AGREE with the “OUR laws” bit; however “traditions” and “way of life” differ, even among white-australians so what is the “Australian way of life”? What you mean is the “White Australian way of
life” since you seem to exclude the aborgines who are just as Australian, or are they?

Are you suggesting that ALL foreigners (caucasian, asian, african) adopt australian culture, tradition and way
of life if they wish to stay in Australia? Or does that rule apply to the non-white races?

In either case that rule would be silly not to mention impossible to implement. Why? Well consider the case
of Muslims and Jews. They don’t eat pork; however most aussies do. Now that is a religious and cultural
difference. Are they supposed to go back? Is that a reason for not being treated equally? Should he be
refused a job in Australia because he refuses to hog pigs?

I do beleive that you are being xenophobic! Xenophobia being: “Xenophobia denotes a phobic attitude toward strangers or of the unknown and comes from the Greek words ξένος (xenos), meaning “foreigner,” “stranger,” and φόβος (phobos), meaning “fear.” The term is typically used to describe fear or dislike of foreigners or in general of people different from one’s self. For example, racism is sometimes described as a form of xenophobia.”

And that’s the tricky bit – “different from one’s self” – because if you push it far enough – it means – a fear of
anyone not yourself!

Hitler was not far of the mark – he hated everyone! But was he wrong? The trouble is that it’s human nature
to hate and fear different genetic material! We form groups and then attack other groups to protect ourselves.
It’s easy to blame Hitler for all our sins!

Now lets assume all races were wiped out and only the white races existed! We’d still have racism!
The whites would segregate their own white-population and you’d stil have wars!

Oh we’d think up all sorts of excuses! Your eyes are not blue! Your ass is not the typical white ass!
You are “culturally” different!

The main question is this – Should genetic material different from yours exist?
Right now we need foreign genetic material to survive. Imagine trying to get along without plants or other
human beings – especially the female variety. But what if we could? Would we wipe out everything else?

Whatever people say australia is one of the most racist countries in the world.they have nearly made an entire race extinct. I am an indian who lived in australia for 4 months. Everytime you go to night club and ask an aussie girl out she rejects you simply becos you are indian. well dont think that makes me sad..i am jsut citing an incident. there is so much racism in australia against people from indian subcontinent. the only reason i can see is that “we are soft targets”. aussies are scared of being racist to lebanese..but towards indians..they know we wont do anything…thats it. and about lebanese.. i dont like them either. these arabs have a feelign they can rule the world with “violence and oil”..USA is really teaching them a lesson.

I am a Indian Student studying in UQ, Brisbane for past 1 year. Australia is a fucking racist country. And I can justify my comments. The Australian Economy is booming due to large intake of international students like Indians. The Unis are depending on us for Funds. And they still don’t give even part-time work while we are studying here. They pretend to be nice but They are not. Australians are actually Shit of Britishers. I mean they were British Convicts. So they don’t have their own identity, History. The Government is asking people around the world to come to live and work in australia just to earn lots and lots of money on Visa Fees, etc. And you get nothing after coming here. I have so many Indians freinds who are still looking for work for the past 8 months even they are PR of Australia. They belong to Accounting field which is on the MODL of Australia. Then why these ausholes call us to study and work here when they don’t want to give us the Jobs. The reailty is that they are racist. In fact, the parents teach their childs here to be racist. But I must tell you, Indians are the Best in World and they will eventulally going to FUCK Australia, US and Britian in coming years and No one is in this world can stop them because Indians are the best……Wait for another 10-15 years then you will know who is the best……..

Muslims Arab or not have fled in to western Christian Countries fleeing Islamic oppression and they Intimidate and abuse the very people that give the support but how can you change the mind of brain washed people by dictators useing the Qu’ran Islam has been a cancer to every society but Most to Muslims them self’s they have been killing each other for 1400 years these are the facts about Islam and Muslims

it is just sad please stop this racism

Saurab is way over the top. Just because you’re unsuccessful in applying for jobs, doesn’t mean the country is racist. I’ve known many people who have been unsuccessful and I must say it’s just their fault. They dont try enough or they don’t do it the right way – the right way to present yourself for example. Pay me $500 and I guarantee you a job in a month’s time.

Anyways I’m an Indian been here for 5 years and things have been good. Uni life was amazing with people much more accepting to all cultures. Work life has thrown me into the sea. There are all kinds of people you meet – some more accepting than others. Some put you down due to them thinking they’re superior due to many reasons, mainly this being their “home” and English being their native language. Aussies are aggressive people so they are not very forgiving if something pisses them off. They don’t compromise much but still are very open to all cultures. They grow up eating butter chicken at home too now. No country is 100%. Racism is everywhere. There are good people, there are bad people. Simple as that.

All i can say about australia is aussies are blody racists and this country is not their own , these white people are also living in aboregional’s country and the are exploiting
them too , this is redicolous, they dont have any culture that we can adopt, their way of living is like shit (just drinking bear all day and stealing things from shops!!!)
sorry aussies we are not intrested in your culture, and we ll not leave this country coz this is not your country and u ppl do not have any right to say like this.

Re: the above
aashish: “these white people are also living in aboregional’s country and the are exploiting them too ”

What do you mean by “aborginal country”? As long as you can fight for something and hold it, it’s yours. Sure the aborgines got wiped out; So what? It’s not a moral issue.Every day millions of bacteria and ants get wiped out by you; do you sit and cry over it? The reason you are bitching is because you are at the receiving end.

“we can adopt, their way of living is like shit (just drinking bear all day and stealing things from shops!!!)”

Well now maybe you should take a closer look:
1. Hard working, well organised and well disciplined.
Do you suppose they could have built a strong nation out of scratch through
sheer accident?
2. Not corrupt.

I mean this is total nonsense! We leave our country, go elsewhere, and then crib when we are treated badly. What did you expect? People to line the street and welcome funny little brown monkeys? I am Indian BTW so..

Obviously they aren’t happy about us and look down upon us.. You don’t see shiny
skyscrapers in India do you?

Look respect comes with strength. Not individual strength but national strength as well. Australian colleges need our money so they invite us over and take our money.
Only a idiot would think they’d be happy to part with their jobs!

Re # Saurab: “years and No one is in this world can stop them because Indians are the best……”
And this is the kind if ass we don’t need! WTF are we best at, Boasting?
What are we boasting about?

“Australians are actually Shit of Britishers. I mean they were British Convicts.”

So what if they were convicts? They WERE convicts. We ARE poor and weak as a group.
Might is Right, Sir! You can re-write history any damn way once you’ve won!
Not all Australians were convicts – go read up.

The trouble with Asians is that we are not a united lot! We blame the Muslims and stand by and applaud while some weird Chinese gets kicked around and vice versa.

Re #sandeep “I am an indian who lived in australia for 4 months. Everytime you go to night club and ask an aussie girl out she rejects you simply becos you are indian. well dont think that makes me sad..i am jsut citing an incident.”

I know Indians in the US who date and hump American women, and then dump them, and marry at home. No wonder Indian’s have a bad rep in some universities in America.

Obviously you ARE more than a little sad, or you wouldn’t have posted. Tell me something: If a African had asked a Indian girl out on a date, what would have been her response? We do have our own totem pole, don’t we: White skin at the top, then the Chinese, then ourselves, then the Middle East, then the Afro’s.

Don’t mis-understand what i am saying. Racism and stupidity exist every where, even among Indians and even among some of us who post here and whine about it.

eg: Saurab – “I must tell you, Indians are the Best in World and they will eventulally going to FUCK Australia, US and Britian in coming years and No one is in this world can stop them because Indians are the best……Wait for another 10-15 years then you will know who is the best……..”

eg: Sandeep – “about lebanese.. i dont like them either. these arabs have a feelign they can rule the world with “violence and oil”..USA is really teaching them a lesson.”

That’s the trouble with Asians, period. I used to wonder how the British managed to divide and rule us; Well, you have the answer! Indian blaming Muslim, that’s how it
starts doesn’t it?

A few more points:
1. Learn how to punctuate and spell properly. Lynn Truss’s: Eats Shoots & Leaves, is a great book; it’s simple and easy, reading.
2. Post concisely, even if you are pissed-off. It’s a lot more effective that way.
3. Don’t crib about how you are treated in the West. Asians aren’t the dominant race in town and even if we were, making the same mistakes that the West is making, is hardly the solution!
4. Quit treating the Chinese, Middle-Eastern and African nations as if they were a inferior lot! Indians are very good at preaching moral values to the rest of the world, while not applying any of those very same moral values back home, or anywhere else.
5. If you don’t like the heat in Aussieland, then either cart your ass back home, or
stretch wide. Whine-ing only pisses people off and you’ll only get it harder.
6. Don’t try to dis-associate yourself from your nation. You are Indian. You could be from IIT and be earning a 300K salary, but it doesn’t matter at all, to a white-toilet-cleaner in Australia. That toilet cleaner has a strong government and country backing him up and unfortunately we Indians don’t; Alas! we have only ourselves to blame for that!
7. Try to remember that the average Indian DOES NOT equate to the average white man, simply because the average Indians government does not equate to the average Australian government.

Try to visualise it thus: Your maid servant comes every day to clean your house; She is very punctual, honest, hard-working, polite, charming, sexy, got-a-nice-ass, got-a-tight-pussy, whatever! You’ll lay her, you’ll pay her, you’ll smile and talk to her, you’ll even invite her home and offer her tea, hell you’ll even tell her to be free and frank with you; but you won’t ever give her equal rights in your home and at the end of the day, when she has to go home, she’s still your maid servant.

I can understand the gang problem and the rapes. What I don’t understand is why the people had to take the law into their own hands. Some one needs to teach the Aussies the concept of Police force.

Hi all
I think all of your guys are pretty much, oh well how do I put this fucked! Yeah sure the british did kick our arses when they took over our country (btw im a new zealand indian), and then they start raping all of our resources till its bone dry. Then once our country is fucked we immigrate over to their country legal (unlike them)then they mock the shit out of us coz we’re a different colour. Then when out parents who immigrated over here have kids and are citizens with accents and all and who play rugby we are still called curry munchers and told get the fuck out our country. Then these kids who turn up to be teenagers start falling in love with the local girls but they don’t want you because your dark and you penis is way to big anywayz. So what to do bout this whole situation. Well don’t worry bout it. THe world is alot more tollerent than it was say thirty years ago. Its true everybody hate everybody arabs hate asians, chinese hate indians, white people hate everyone, black people hates indian. So what to do what to do. Take everybody individually, ive got white mates, black mates, chinese, indian mates. Oh yeah for the “white aussie” chicks that reject you, would you really want to go out with a chick who judges a person on their skin colour, besides look on the positive side at least its easy to tell who the skanks are aye. Oh yeah the history thing bout the british making us into slaves. Well even when our resources were completely gone and the british were huge, well look who up in cummin baby! Looks like china and india economies are going to supersede the europeans and the US. THats the way to show them, we can be an empire without being a theif

“then they start raping all of our resources till its bone dry. Then once our country is fucked we immigrate over to their country legal”

Err.. Has it occured to you that we are one of the most corrupt nations in the world and that it’s our elected representatives that are doing the raping?

“Looks like china and india economies are going to supersede the europeans and the US.”
Err.. somehow i’m a lot more pessimistic about this; it’s a little hard to see your rosy utopia when we have no roads and corruption is ever increasing.

“Snarf says that we do not have roads and corruption is increasing” . Wrong on roads/ infrastructure, right on corruption. But more people are being brought to justice than before and corruption is not as blatant as it used to be. Snarf… India IS going places.

I am an Indian and proud of it. But also ee should realize that whichever country we land up in we are the “foreigners” hence there always will be discrimination. (as we would do to people from other states in our own country).

Do your work well, behave decently, learn the local customs you will be well regarded. For heavens sake stop whining. Be a proud Indian.

teach a new man, a new humanity, a new concept of being in the world The old man is on the deathbed: don’t mourn for it ― help it to die. Because only with the death of the old can the new be born. The cessation of the old is the beginning of the new.

My message to humanity is a new man. Less than that won’t do.Beware! Beware of your politicians ― they are all suicidal. Beware of the old conditioning which divides you as Indians, as Germans, as Japanese, as Americans. The new man has to be universal. He will transcend all barriers of race, religion, sex, colour. The new man will not be of the East or of the West; the new man will claim the whole earth as his home.

Only then can humanity survive ― and not only survive ― with the coming of a new concept of man…. The old is the concept of either/or: the new will be both/and. Man has to live a rich life outwards and a rich life inwards; there is no need to choose. The inner life is not against the outer life; they are part of one rhythm

BANGNIN n SNARF ???
Hey snarf can stop generalizing ppl like commodities or products and stop stereo typing people … every body different and unique …
You talking about Indians humping American chicks in uni ….excuse me what bout fret parties and are white guys saints lol some of American chicks dick tease and even are nymphos chicks but to be honest that’s the case in every nationality and society grow up huh? Basically they are horny men and dumb sluts in every race mate so chill….

If a two people don’t click I feel its not always got to do with racism sometimes even

ASTROLOGY. NUMEROLOGY AND PHILOSPHY AND PHYSCOLOGY economic backgrounds / common interest hobbies work etc might be the reason.
I traveled aus London California Italy France middleast and even India and because of my open mind I treat everybody as individual and don’t judge people with prejudice … for example I met Africans who are non violent, I met white guys who are violent abusive, etc I met white chicks who are sluts some who ent some Indians who love kickboxing and bodybuilding and don’t know jack shit about computers SO BASICALLY u get my point its to back dated to stereo type… I mean even- Bruce lee in Hollywood proved to the world the Chinese can be male lead and carry the movie … is not all chomp chomp with the chop sticks ….

And talking about grammatical mistakes what are you paying people to write this blog lol

THE GAME

yeah hes right, its not what you are, its who you are, i think thats the saying. Australia basicly kills every other country, i mean we ain’t that racist. Some are a bit, but most don’t judge people by race but by appearance. Ya can’t stop that, im pretty sure. Hell, if u hate australia, and think its racist, either get the fuck out, or ……. i dunno. Its about having a fair go, everyone isnt equal, but treated according to how hard they work. We arent there yet, but we are a hell of a lot closer than other countries. Gotta love australia though, with the kebabs, spring rolls, pies and stuff. Really multi cultural, just some arrogent jerks gotta ruin it for the rest of us. And heck, im only 15

well, i guess those english [colonisers] screwed up other countries pretty bad. YA can’t generalise em though, its mainly a few bad people who screw up their race [osama bin ladin, george bush, kaizer]. Well, its the past, and they sure as hell better pay for fucking up peoples countires. If they do it again, like try to screw over iraq for their oil, we have really gotta kick their ass. I mean, cmon. Saying they got WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION aint gonna justify ripping the oil outta their land. and hell, keep your replies coming. I need it for my discrimination essay. By the way, if you get rejected by an australian girl, it may not be because your race, maybe cause u picked someone outta your league, or you were so drunk you looked like a total idiot.

Actually, most people in Australia (esp Sydney) who live in areas of most multiculturalism are not overtly racist.
I am not from Australia (Euro), I am married to a Chinese Australian (not born here), her brother is married to a Russian, his wife is Maltese…etc etc…and so it goes..

the ONE thing that all of us agree on though…and my own research confirms this…whether you’re Leb, Turk, Chinese , Viet, Italian, German, Australian etc..we all generally get along…BUT…..WE ALL HATE THE INDIANS…in their little old Toyota Camrys

Guys and Gals
Indians ,Aussies, Lebs, Africans, Whites ,Chinese or what ever you are…
lets all focus on the real problem….we all face in this country …its not Racism, cultural difference or what ever has been discussed here…..the problem faced by everyone is not race based…..

We all live in this stolen land that is full of natural resources that we can all enjoy. The people who stole this land are smart/smarter than average, they have developed this land and I believe that they now deserve to call it their own….

The society we live in Australia is very pretentious…everyone is looking for the smartest, sexiest, strongest, brightest and all of the above to love marry and have babies with……if you don’t fit it in to any of this then you will be targeted and abused….

If you the smartest, sexiest, strongest, brightest then no matter what you race is…Indian Lebanese etc you will be admired respected and spoiled.

How many Fat Australian people are harassed…etc you know what I mean….

Indians coming to Aus is a new experience…for both white Aussies and Indians….Indians also look and behave differently to Australians and so forth so the problem is not always one way….

What’s that’s missing is understanding….understanding of what Australian culture favors and what the culture hates…
If you like it or not they are majority so we all have to adapt to the ways of this land or any land where you are foreign…
I have been living in Australia for a while >20 years…and this is what I have found out.

1) Australian are Happy go lucky people.
2) They like to give everyone a faire go
3) When it comes to sports no matter if you are black/white/Indian/Chinese if you are good at sports you are looked upon with “GREAT” respect admired and spoiled.
4) They don’t like wingers, people who cheat take short cuts and up themselves….…again this can be anyone Australian whites, black/white/Indian/Chinese
5) As a society they have similar views to Europeans and Americans…i.e you have to be the smartest, sexiest, strongest, brightest for you to be accepted.

The problem all immigrants, all groups face is similar to what the African American faced when they were enslaved by the White Americans. They were subjected to more cruelty than we can ever imagine just because they look different. But what has happened now, they have changed the whole thing around…..now RAP R&B music is more popular than main stream than Country music.,…the Black American are considered sexy, smart and all the girls want ….them a LOT WHY????

Because they studied what main stream society wants and they delivered like it or not…so if all Indians assimilated….took more care about their appearances , worked out a lot and developed their body as well as their mind…..live happy then they will not be targeted rather they will be admired…..

I know lots of sexy Indian guys and girls who enjoy respected life here …..

They fit this model…
Smartest, sexiest, strongest, brightest, so Indian united if you want to be accepted then focus and deliver….believe me your situation will change….as did the African Americans….

This is kind of stupid it makes no sence 2 me. And is this really true because dats some stupid shit !

Is Aus racist? Yes, cos the average Aussie is racist. Make of that what you will. This is a personal opinion based in personal experience.
Now, is that a bad thing? That is the question to be answered, and the emotion associated with being called ‘racist’ is one of shame, apart from the Ku Klux Klan.
If your world view is not ‘One Human Race’, and in most cases its not, because everybody wants their own culture, and there is no ‘World Culture’(yet), then you have no choice but to be racist. It is the survival of the fittest concept all over. The strong will subjugate the weak. Why would they give up power?

So u have racism in Australia
India(the caste system)
Shias v Sunnis
Hindus Vs Muslims Vs Xtians
etc etc
Mainly religious differences, but in Aus you have people from different countries with different customs, languages(and so accents), ethics, etc.
In terms of real-life dynamics, the racism debate has come up because minorities in Oz are sufficiently powerful to begin doing something about it. It is no longer ‘If u dont like OUR country, go back where you came from.”
Look at the US story. This is not to threaten ‘true blue’ Ozzies, but black people in the US have been oppressed for ever. Now statistically most of the crimes committed are by them, almost forcing a sort of respect for them( dont mess with em black people, they gonna bust a cap on yo ass) The next argument by the ‘true blue’ is ‘why take em ‘black people(including indians) on in the first place?. The reason is that Australia needs the blood sweat and tears of immigrants if it is to survive. Not just labour, but skills.
Without immigration, Australia with its declining birthrate will vanish as a nation in the long term. We are here because you need us, not just because Australia has a better standard of life than India.Its a symbiotic relationship.

I am from india and intending to migrate to australia. Is racism so rampant, as to reconsider my decision to migrate

Please advice

i think racism comes from both sides but you cant blame the whole lebanese community for a FEW of the lebanese wrong doing an by you being totaly against lebanese your the one making the problem bigger. if you just give them a chance you would no that they are generally good people but you people refuse to give them a chance.indians have been insulted by every population but why dont you have anything to say about that is it because lebanese are in the spotlight an you want to make people think even worse.when everyone migrated here we were give the name WOGS by the australians so what does that mean… if we werent given that name they wouldnt have been racism.i am not lebanese an i dont agree with what they do or the gang rapings but you cant blame all of them.How many australian rapists like the priest who raped the kids or the teachers who rape there students or serial killers,the media dont put them on the spotlight do they but just because they have the name mohamed and are lebanese they dont stop putting it on the media. An incident occured a few weeks ago when some youths from werrabi did something to a disabled girl an raped her. they didnt do anything to them how shamefull is that and 3 years later there still mentioning the gang rapes. To rap up what i think i disagree with what the lady is saying because they are not all like that, an educated person would no that and instead of making the problem better we are making it worse by people like you provocing them.

sarah the lebanese community is fucked up i think the bloody mulisms are very ugly terristism dude people. i hate the fucked up mulism lets join forces and kill the mulisms

i m livin g in australia for past 1 year and i havent experienced any kind of racism form australians they r good ppl while these middle eastern dick heads act hard and think they r cool but i have knocked out few of them in parra and will always do so hahahah arabs poor pppplll bloody terrorists
bloody ass holes kiilll em and in coming yrs i will continue killing them so dun wrry my australian ,indian ,chinese and other nat brothters me and my mates who hate arabs will wipe out their race out of this country

the muslim chick rt blooodd y ugly hahahah no one wants to go out with them hahahahahah ppooor ppppllll

Hi everyone people come to Australia with “Great expectations”, thinking of what they see in hollywood/Bollywood movies that Australia is very affluent country with shiny skyscrapers and freeways and even toilet cleaner drives a Toyota and Hondas. But if you see Australia has a very narrow economic base, and dependent much on exports of natural resources and raw materials, its economy is even lags behind
countries like Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore ( Asian Tigers) which are dependent on export of consumer goods, technology and electronics. Where are the Australian Microsoft,IBM and Google?? Where are Australian Sony, Panasonic and TimeWarner??

Australian economy generates fewer jobs compared to UK and Germany and is nothing in comparison to US economy, even India is the world 4th largest economy with PPP running in trillions of US dollars but population of more than 1 billion makes much more people competing for limited resources which force the educated and skilled people to look overseas market for jobs. But my friends what always glitters is not gold, the White Australia policy has guaranteed that no people of colour participate in the decision making process governing Australia and therefore Australia has much remained an Anglo dominated country with little rights for coloured, indeginous and migrant populations in practice. There may be rules for equal opportunity in employment but they are not followed, there are rules for anti-discrimination but they are bypassed to promote white folks and their families.

The judiciary, police and government ensures that white people enjoy maximum
benifits and plum employment opportunities and coloured guys have to live on left over and scraps who is nobody willing to take. So stop expecting much from Australia and try to do well in India as India will guarantee you high paying jobs in the years to come with spectacular growth of more than 10% GDP per annum. Also there is no better altenative than to live along with your friends and families with no discrimination, in Australia most of the Australians have hostile and in-different attitude towards immigrants and they see them as threat and invasion to their culture and social security. So it is but natural that you invite trouble for yourself landing in this white dominated trashpit in Asia Pacific. Having said that I don’t mean to say that other people are saints you will probably suffer more racism in some Arab country, Malaysia or China who have little regard for individual freedom and human rights.

WHAT JEET BINDRA- CEO CALTEX AUSTRALIA HAS TO SAY ABOUT RACISM IN AUSTRALIA!
“Success follows when people come first” – these words are mounted in a frame on the wall behind the desk of the CEO and Managing Director of CALTEX Australia – Mr Jeet Bindra – our column guest for this month. Mr Bindra has been recently posted to Australia as the CEO of Caltex after serving the company for almost thirty years in the US.

After spending a long time in America, how are you finding Australia as a place to work and as a society to live in?

There is a misconception about Australians in USA that Australians are not very hard working people. I have not been able to find a proof of it as yet although I must say that there is much hierarchy in the work culture compared to USA. People are not comfortable approaching the CEO. There is a cultural gap between the juniors and seniors.

Australia has not yet assimilated the minorities represented in the community into the workforce. There are very few minorities in the executive positions. Australian male has not yet crossed the threshold in accepting women as equals and the talent of women has not been tapped to its utmost. There is also lack of encouragement to students in getting technical qualification. Recently Caltex had to look for technical expertise outside of Australia for some of our projects.

Q: Have you met many Indian Australians so far?
I have been to a few Indian functions but find the Indian Australians a very isolated society, mostly clinging to their own communities. I did not find many non-Indians at those functions, specially, Australians.

I do not believe in socializing merely with your ‘own people’. Unless we educate others about our culture we will not be able to gain respect from them. Hate crimes occur because of ignorance. As human beings, absence of information can mean the void is filled with negative thoughts. I believe in over communicating than under communicating

Thanks HIM for the conveniently edited version of that interveiw.
Here it is in full:
http://www.indiatoday.com.au/siom7.php

You know people, growing up in Australia, i’ve seen it all. Racism comes from EVERY sector, but it’s not so much amongst the white people, white racists are a minority here.
We have some of the largest populations of ‘minority’ groups in the world here. And because they close themselves off, and segregate themselves they feel as though they are being discriminated against, and they attack everyone in a offensive way due to a kind of paranoia. They still carry old world values, that mostly don’t even exist in their mother countries anymore, they only mix and marry with people of there own culture, etc, etc.
I’ve had endless conversations with Indians, asians, lebanese, greeks etc, etc. And they all tend to agree that the stigma of racism is something that they conjured up themselves, or perpetrated on other people themselves.

BTW Australians are not descendant from convicts. Infact very few convicts actually nominated to stay here when their time was up. (I belive the official figure was around 150 convicts who chose to remain). The rest was made up of free settlers, up until the gold rush in the 1800’s. The largest immigrating nationalities were English, Irish, Scottish and Chinese, with other nationalities arriving in the early 1900’s to the present day.

Australia is racist. It has gotten much worse over the past decade, due partly to howards influence.

On the surface white aussies seem nice enough, but when it comes to the crunch you always see racism pop up. This is proven by howards long run as PM. here is a man who has cleverly built his whole political career playing the politics of hate. If you disagree with me please do some research. and if you still can’t figure it out then you are part of the problem

Fuck Howard, and fuck white australia. Why dont u go back to britain you stupids crackers.

Australia is a fucking racist country. I am of Turkish origin and lived there for several years, mind you I look European and I didn’t experience any discrimination in my social life(and they are so damn shallow in Sydney with empty brains) but didn’t I hear that white trash saying shit like bloody Asians this bloody Abbos that all the time! They had White-Australia policy up until recent times. I moved to London two months ago to be close to Europe and Turkey. London is a much harder place to live but with plenty more opportunities for people from any race and I heard from several British people that lived or travelled in Australia that Aussies are sooo racist! Every single English person actually told me the same thing over and over. “How did you actually manage to get a job there?” They ask me.. I go ” It took me bloody 6 years to score an OK job with uni degrees and several European languages and work experience” , the sort of job you would not even shit on back in Istanbul but walk into those offices in the Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane CBDs you will see those brainless white people sitting on their asses doing nothing all day, and they don’t even have university qualifications, walk into hotels you will meet those migrants from China,India and Thailand cleaning toilets and rooms and most have Accounting/IT degrees and some of them speak English better than your average Sheila and Dazza. It used to drive me fucking crazy! Glad I am out of it! Yes it is a damn easy country to live in even if you don’t work ,but do I ever miss the beach and the sunshine? NO! Never as hard as it may be in London. Because I don’t like the people in Australia. I can breathe the culture now, I can go to museums ,visit European cities on the weekends. And you know one thing they are good for? A great passport to have! I don’t need visas whever I go in the world, as “we” are known to be a wealthy and friendly (friendly my ass!) country. I like saying “we” when it comes to that, only!
Good bye Australia!

Treat other how you expect to be treated.NEXT

If things are so bad there why do people still flock to it ? Coomon sense dictates that if one finds a place to be hostile then one should move to a less hostile country; unlessof course, one’s own parent country was more hostile

Do Australians suffer from an island mentality ? )

C’mon peoplz. stop sayin australia is a racist country coz it aint. there are much worse places on this planet…i’m a sri lankan whoz been here for 14 yrs and i think its the best place to live…wudnt hav it any other way. Here in melbourne, all of us (whether we be SL, indian, chinese leb white arab wateva….we tend to get along juz fine)…i dunno …maybe its juz sydney wit all da problems…

The most racist nation in the entire world in india. This is because of unusual mix. Let us accept the truth. India is a mix of actual indians(not so fair) and mixed breed(invaders mostly muslims + locals). Take the difference in features of people in punjab against TN, kerala or even bihar.

Australia is a racist shithole if you apply for a white collar job they see following attributes: a) Skin Colour b) Hair colour c) Convict heritage d) Anglo Saxon/British refugee e) European white, if you meet the white skin and brown/blonde hair criteria you don’t need university degree or Australian experience on your resume. If you are white thug/convict you have better chance to make it big in corporate Australia/Politics/Government and Police services. If you are black, yellow or brown skin you are left to struggle for a scrap and left over positions which are either not filled by whites because they doesn’t have university degrees like healthcare jobs in rural and remote areas, or jobs they are not willing to take like public transport.

Socially white people never interacts with people of other races and you will find people of different races only socially interact with their own races, barring few exceptions. Discrimination is practised in every sphere of Australian life for example sports, not a single cricketer of Asian/Indian origin in Australian cricket team, All news readers on Channel 9, 10 , 7 & abc are White skin brown/blonde hair.

Australia is nothing but a ‘white trash’ where merit is sacrificed in order to promote undeserving white thugs from England.

Australia IS A RACIST country, but the LEBANESE AND OTHER MUSLIM COMMUNITIES are an even more intolerant bunch. I have first hand experience with both. White Aussie racists are only racially intolerant. MIddle Eastern and Pakistani people are both racially and religiously intolerant. They piss infront of our temples, and the monks in our monestry keep telling us about a load of Lebanese women who keep spitting at them in the roads simply because they’re Buddhist.

Mrabic people look down even more than white people at the Aborigines. They don’t even follow theAustralian social convention of birth control – which are all stuff that we Sri Lankans normally follow to the dot. Pretty soon since the Lebanese all have 6 to 9 children due their Islamic compulsions and the government welfare system, EVERY other community will be a minority. Then everyone can expect Islamic law to be enforced, and you know the rest. Let the two extremist groups fight it out. The meek will inherit Australia – I.E.:- the nice white Aussies who smiles and gets along with everyone, the Aborigines, and the rest of the immigrants. Intolerants like the Arabs and all the racist whites can kill each other.

Just you wait, there will be an Islamic suicde bomb attack here in Australia pretty soon. When that happens, trust me it’ll be a Muslim thingy. If you white ignoramuses attack us NON-MUSLIM peoples also, you’ll just be pushing us into violence also. Just remember that.

And feel a touch of pity for the Aborigines. They are the original people of this land. Not whitey, not browny, and defintely not the Muslims. They’ve been reduced to a community of druggies and petrol sniffers by the great white Aussie. They need to be addressed and brought up before letting in anymore immigrants. And hell, why let in Arabs and Asian Muslims when you know they are not going to assimilate?

DAMN I THOUGHT THE UK WAS BAD, LOOKS LIKE OZ IS GOIN TO POT JUST LIKE UK.

HERE WE HAVE GOT MILLIONS OF PAKIS (MUSLIMS) HAVING FAMILIES WITH 5-8 KIDS, AND IN THE LAST 20 YEARS THEIR POPULATION HAS EXPLODED, WE NOW HAVE WHOLE CITIES UP NORTH (BRADFORD, LEEDS ETC THAT HAVE A MUSLIM MAJORITY OVER WHITES!!!

I THINK WHATS GONA HAPPEN IS AUSTRALIA IS EXACTLY WHATS HAPPENIN IN THE UK NOW, UR JUST 15 YRS BEHIND.

FUKIN MUSLIMS CAUSE SO MANY PROBLEMS IN THIS WORLD WITH THEIR LACK OF ACCEPTANCE AND SUPERIORITY COMPLEX (THEY THINK WE ARE ALL INFIDELS AND BELOW THEM)

I’M INDIAN BY THE WAY BORN IN UK, AND I’M DEFO NOT A RACIST, I HAVE FREINDS FROM ALL COMMUNITYS, MY VIEWS ARE GENERALISATIONS OF COMMUNITIES AS THERE IS GOOD AND BAD IN ALL.

BY THE WAY, I HAVE BEEN TO AUSTRALIA A FEW TIMES RECENTLY AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM PULLING WHITE AUSSIE CHICKS – AS LONG AS UR GOOD LOOKIN AND SPEAK GOOD ENGLISH (BRITISH ACCENT HELPS!) THEN THE PUSSY IS THERE TO BE HAD – THOSE GUYS WHO SAID THEY CANT PULL WHITE CHICKS ARE PROBABLY FRESHIES OFF THE BOAT FROM INDIA WITH DODGY STYLE, ACCENTS AND B.O.

PEACE

This forum has been quite an eye-opener. I’ve met a few Aussies before and indeed, found them incredibly racist. Even though they appeared nice with me (and polite), I could sense that they didn’t like my presence in their company. And I’m not your stereotypical rustic from a village in India -I’m clean with nice hair-cut and take shower daily and spend a lot of money on body care products. Also, my manners and communication style is not the least bit rude, unfriendly and I never ask personal questions. I just get along fine with EVERY other ethnicity/nationality on Earth.

After meeting these Australians, I felt something like maybe all whites are like that. It’s only when I interacted with Europeans and Americans I understood that they can be amazing people. It changed my mind and I came to realize that the fault lies with “Australian culture somewhere”.

My friends suggested me to complete my graduation in Australia but I’m not keen at all. I don’t want to be in a country which treats me like a second-class citizen on the basis of my skin colour. I won’t even ever consider travelling to Australia (on a transit flight).

I hope all the crackers in that land f-uck their kangaroos all day around and Indians should go and profit from their lazy @sses.

FUCK Australia

Anglo – Saxon Australians are filthy, dirty, disgusting racists. You Anglo – Saxon Australians complain about how the Lebanese Gangs brought all this violence and racism into Australia, yet you Anglo – Saxon Australians commit the majority of crime and especially racism in Australia.

BY THE WAY, I HAVE BEEN TO AUSTRALIA A FEW TIMES RECENTLY AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM PULLING WHITE AUSSIE CHICKS – AS LONG AS UR GOOD LOOKIN AND SPEAK GOOD ENGLISH (BRITISH ACCENT HELPS!) THEN THE PUSSY IS THERE TO BE HAD – THOSE GUYS WHO SAID THEY CANT PULL WHITE CHICKS ARE PROBABLY FRESHIES OFF THE BOAT FROM INDIA WITH DODGY STYLE, ACCENTS AND B.O.

The Aussie chicks would have sex with anything in their path so dont talk like you’re special. Those banana or plastic sticks/poles have done it with those chicks 100X more than any of you.

Australia is not racist. I’m a white Australian, although i like to call myself an Australian, colour has nothing to do with being Australian. I have seen some racism, been called racist things. A crazy guy yelled some racist stuff at a poor Taiwanese couple and it startled me as much as them. He ran away and I apologized to them for the insult. This is the type of person who would tell an Australian Aboriginal to get out of the country (obviously a crazy idiot)

Unfortunately there are people in Australia who are from a poor socio-economic background or plain dumb or crazy or country yokels, who are brought up believing all their troubles are from foreigners entering the country.
I guess these types are in all countries across the earth and unfortunately no one with half a mind has set them straight and told them the world doesn’t revolve around them and that life is too short to hate on people.

Even if my friends say stupid things remotely racist,sexist,ageist ill box their ears and call them racists shitheads for saying racist jokes or generalizing about people or cultures.

Also to answer some of the above problems.
1, Pulling girls is hard for everyone (expect for the tall, handsome, foreign accent type) plus i know for a fact girls like an exotic guy, not the other way around.
2. Jobs only go to the white people. GTFO (get the fuck outta here) been 2 yrs outta uni i cant find a job and not for the lack of trying, its just some jobs are hard to find, you gotta keep trying till you click with an employer.
3. If you have come across the crazy/dumb/country Australian racist I’m sorry, plus take heart they are a dieing breed.

P.S I notice all the people moaning about racism have never described themselves as Australians. It would convince me more that Australia was a racist country if there was an Australian with a foreign background coping racism, compared to most of the tourists above who seem to have generalized all Australians from one bad experience.

Quote Above:
“Even though they appeared nice with me (and polite), I could sense that they didn’t like my presence in their company.” -Maybe they were being nice and polite most Aussies are.

Cya all.

Hey What. How do you explain this:
1. United Nations says Australia is the only Western Nation with racist governments
2. 30,000 racists participated in the Cronulla Beach Riots. Only 2,000 people in Sydney participated in the anti – racist rally
3. Tampa Boat Crisis
4. Mandatory Detention
5. Needle shots for Refugees
6. Aboriginal Deaths in Custody
7. Children Overboard
8. Why does the term “Australian” or “Aussie” only apply to Anglo-Saxons in Australia
9. Many Anglo-Saxon Australians say the Cronulla riots were not racist. If you attack people on the basis of their race, chant racist remarks, and write racist slogans, then you have a race problem
10. Australia’s White Australia Policy was only demolished in 1975. You can’t become a tolarent Nation in only 30+ years.
11. Only a little over 200 police at the Cronulla Riots. 2,000 police against the Revenge attack.
12. Lebanese Gang Rapist gets 55 years for raping Anglo-Saxon Girls. Anglo-Saxon Man gets only 7 and half years for killing an Aboriginal Man in Port Hedland, Australia
The list could go on and on.

Aussies are always looking for scapegoats. weather be asians, blacks,
muslims. The white australia mentality is still rampant. The gov is also
very hyprocrisy and talking about “FAIR GO” and other values to cover
the ugly reality. This trend will go on forever. However the racism coin is
double sided, third world migrants are generally very weak minded and
put up with all the abuse and this excesebates the arrogance of some
aussies. Also aussies are very proud of their big bro america and right
now that country is screwing the whole third world so you see the point.

Please read this, Racists = non-educated. I notice that too many brain-less people come here and pass their crap about about Islam and middle eastern people. Muslims study about other religions and have a clear idea about them. However, we don’t hate neither act negatively about other religions. It’s just the the fucking media is controled by fucking people who are racists, tending to distort the picture of Islam. Others have their self-deception. If these people are educated, they wouldn’t generalize terrorism under the name of Islam. Keeping in mind that it’s an american strategy to dominate the area and steal the oil, as it’s known that Osama bin laden workin for them. Islam has eliminated racisim since its begining, wanna a prove for that read the history of Islam. Also, if you’ll go to any Islmic country they won’t notice the colour of your skin. If there’s no racisim in Australia, we wouldn’t have this article existed. I believe that some of the old generations tend to teach their sons and doughters to be racists as well as the capacity of an australian brain fit only 6 national chanel that control their way of thinking. My message for every smart, read between the lines, think critically and don’t base facts on what you think. With all respect to all.

All I can say is that OZ is racist but I live i nthe Deep south of the us of a and it is a nightmare. Racism is socially acceptable here and the thing that makes OZ different is the fact that at least in OZ the racists dont always try to hide their racism and convince everyone that they are actually loving individuals. Where I come from, the racists hide behind a mask of lies and have ignorant (blacks/Asians) go along withthe show in order to get $$. They help to perpetuate the myth that “everything is fine” despite the reality being quite the contrary. Also the racists in the deep south of america run the show, these are people who in other societies would be the scum of humanity however, they have money here and own everything. Thus this gives them the power to declare themselves all powerful. The state of Georgia in particular is very ruthless do not believe the lies of the “new south”. There is no such thing. Just remember that many of the systems of inequality were born here i n the south. Jim crowism was the blueprint of south african aparteid. The KKK set the pattern for every hate group on earth including the skins. OZ may have its problems but at least it isnt the deep south. As for Australian women, well… to this day not one has ever attempted to get to know me. They have always dealt with me in a rather insulting way. Thus is why I have no respect for them. But then when you look at their history. How can the Australian in any kind of way declare themselves ‘righteous’???

To Jim bean. Anglo-Saxon racism in Australia is actually a lot worse now than in the past. Just read my last post. I do know the deep south of the US is really racist. Your right that Anglo-Saxon Australians do not hide their racism. The worst thing is that when they do show their racism, after they always say their not racist, or their actions had nothing to do with racism. When other races, religions, etc. accuse them of being racist, they create the biggest warcry.

I’ve noticed all the people complaining about racism in Australia have a terribly poor grasp of the English language. Perhaps if you spoke English, you wouldn’t be treated so poorly. The fact of the matter is Australia does not have to accept the misogynistic ways of Muslim extremists.

Furthermore, every group of people on the planet is guilty of exterminating another group. South African Bantus nearly wiped out the Khoisan before Europeans came to attempt to do the same to the Bantus. Homo sapiens in general wiped out neandertals and Homo habilis. You can’t blame modern humans for what past humans have done. If you don’t know your history, you are destined to repeat it. Indians who think Indians are superior probably have another thing coming when they try to live outside India. Americans who think American are superior are treated likewise.

I see a lot of anti-Australian racism in the comments on this page. As an African American, I also see a lot of anti-American racism perpetrated by immigrants to the US. When foreign students can’t find their niche in America, they blame racism. I am not denying that systematic racism exists world round, but if you can’t conquer it, you’re just playing into the role of victim.

Extremism and intolerance are insidious aspects of pride, and when one moves to a foreign country, it’s time to put those things away. At the end of the day, more than 25% of Australian citizens are foreign born. This statistic blows the US (6%), Canada (11%), and the UK (17%) away. Would a racist country be so willing to accept that 1/4 of its population is not native?

We all face adversity, it’s how we react to the challenge that defines us. Muslims riot worldwide at the sight of a silly comic of Mohammed with a bomb under his headscarf. This is completely ridiculous given the number of equally “offensive” comics regarding Jesus / Christians or Jews. I don’t think that a backlash against this behavior is completely unwarranted and I am personally offended at anyone’s claim that the west needs to “be more sensitive” to Islam. Muslims need to perhaps grow thicker skin to survive in a globalized society.

Anyone who thinks America is better is dead wrong. All America has is more racism and fewer immigrants.

Anglo-Saxons are immigrants or descendants of immigrants themselves. Aboriginals have been in Australia for thousands of years, Chinese have been in Australia for over 200 years, Middle Eastern have been in Australia for over 200 years, Anglo-Saxons have been in Australia for a few hundread years, as well as many other nationalities that have been in Australia for the last 100 years or more. All non-Anglo-Saxons in Australia have just of much of a right to be in Australia than Anglo-Saxons. Anglo-Saxons should stop acting as if Australia is only their country because it is not. The Muslim Religion has a longer history in Australia than Christianity as I have read many articles about this.

Muslims and Arabs are the most racially discriminated groups in Australia. It seems that most of this racial harassment against Muslims and Arabs is coming from Anglo-Saxons. Muslims have been racially abused since they started immigrating to Australia. No wonder Muslims and Arabs like the Lebanese Gangs dislike Anglo-Saxons. Anglo-Saxons should treat others with respect if they want to get it in return.

Hey people how u doin,
Well, Im an overseas student doin uni in aus and i find aus some how good coz i go with friends and hangin out with those from my ancestry coz listen australians are RACIALS…yep aus is racist, coz ive been noticin this since i came a few years ago, but judgemnts can be wrong sometimes but the majority of australians are not friendly like americans or Irish. You can find good aussie friend but what they want from u is just 2 stay away they say yeah we r friends but do not be very close to us…yep, this is whats goin on here.

Keep smilin

I was discussing the 2nd Cricket Test Match played at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Jan 2008 with a white caucasian colleage at work, after a couple of minutes a Senior Manager of white caucasian background, unvitingly joined the conversation and immediately raically abused and villified me by yelling “Your Mother is Black” twic in less than ten seconds.

From my experience in Australia, I find this the most racist country on eart

Australia is a really wonderful country but if you’re an Indian/Pakistani/Persian/Arab male, you may not like it much because Aussie White girls, in my experience are pretty much discriminaing against particularly, these ethnicities -except of course immigrant White girls from countries outside the Anglosphere who can be different because they don’t think much in English and are more pleasant to deal with. I did have a great time in Australia as working professional but whenever I tried to hit a girl in a nightclub/beach, she would tell me off with something like (now I believe they’re kinda funny):

“Go find someone of your colour”
“Look you fuken terrorist just go and blow yourself up leave me alone”

Not that those girls were racist because we’d often see them wrapped around Abo’ men…they would rather date Black/Africans than Indians.

This initial resentment may be due to the fact that these girls perceive all Indian/Pakistani/Persian/Arab males as chauvinist pigs….because of our culture…also our communication style seems to piss them off.

The only success I had in Australia was with prostitutes and slutty women. None of the decent girls gave me time of the day. I was really disheartened. I’ll never return to that country ever, not even for holidays.

But yes, in general I agree Australia is not a racist country. Especially if you’re an outdoors person you’d love it…just avoid the girls on the beaches if you’re Indian…you’ll get laid more often in your own country

I am 1/2 Scottish/ 1/2 Creole I have been living in NYC my entire life and have never traveled further east than Austria. I can tell you this I have never been to Australia but I have heard some abhorrently racist shit from the few Aussies I have encountered at the occasional party. One of them started a rant about aboriginal people. I am highly educated. I politely admonished her verbally for a few. As the night wore on she took a liking to my wily mulatto ways; came home with me…gave me head and then I fucked her up the ass. The only overseas racist incident was in Graz Austria. Some drunken fool started some shit but the crew I was with shut him down. That seemed to be a rather racists country as well as they had billboards telling the populace not to feed the Bosnian refugees as the war was in full swing at the time. And once again… I met some girl named Birgit and stuck it in her butt. I think you Indian fellers aught to be less geeky and more of a thuggish player such as myself and you will be stretching white ass in no time. Funny that the two most confused national monikers denote racist countries where the bitches will hate on your race and still let you stick it in their butts after a few cocktails.

One thing I can tell you about Indians in the states…. their parents are racist, elitist, spunk bubbling old-world ignorant bitch munchers. I DO NOT LIKE BEING LOOKED AT LIKE I STOLE SOMETHING IN THEIR CORNER STORE while in the meantime it will be me throwing their kid’s resume in the trash!

‘Eliminate Racism’…..your name would indicate noble ambition but by the sounds of your posts perhaps a better one would be “Lets Get Even With White Folks No Matter What The Cost’”. A little wanky but that in itself would no doubt make it even more relevant hey?

Firstly there is not one type of white (adjective NOT noun) Australian anymore than there is one kind of human. There are various social levels here and within those stratas you have educated pleasant people, educated unpleasant people, uneducated pleasant people and so on. And then there are those who are just plain hard to read…just like all ‘races’. To those of you from abroad who have had a hard time here and want to blame ‘The Man’, I say grow up. This is the real world. No matter who or what you are, you will encounter people who don’t accept you, could be because your not white, could be because you’re not Christian, could be the opposite, could be that your fat and ugly. On the other hand, maybe they just noticed the giant chip on your shoulder and thought “if we hire this guy, he’s probably gonna spend half his day on internet forums complaining about his inability to get laid.” Hey, I’m just saying its possible…maybe even probable with some of you whiny b!tches.

Now I’m an Australian in every sense of the word. I put this country first and above all others, not because I think its better but its the place that spawned me, and until this world does away with borders I place my allegiance here. My ancestry is a combination of (in order of percentage not priority) Irish, Scottish, Aboriginal, Italian and Afghani. In all fairness this mixing all took place more than 80 years ago so I haven’t a lot to say about the ‘migrant experience’, but I’m assuming this forum is about racism not ‘originism’.

Now to any white Australian who tells a non white Australian whether they were born here or not to ‘go home’ , I can only say ‘get over yourself you insecure fuck, you’re embarrassing the nation and yourself’. That said, to any new arrival here who refuses to acknowledge the work that white Australians have put into this nation over the last 200 years by saying ‘you’re just convict migrant scum’ I would remind you that the continent of Australia had been noticed by SE Asians through contact and the rest of Asia though trade long before the whites ever turned up. The difference is that no other nation wanted the job of civilizing this giant desert island full of spiders, snakes and black dudes with spears, so it was left alone.

It wasn’t until the British (through the blood of many Aborigines, pioneers and convicts) carved this place into an attractive nation that it became the migrant destination that it is today. Don’t confuse the term pioneer with that of the generic migrant.

Everyone should feel welcome here, but there is respect needed on both sides of the fence. Migrants are humans too who are driven by the same basic emotions and priorities of those already here, and should be treated likewise. However, no matter how much some of you new arrivals ridicule the ‘lack of culture’ in Australia…..it was you who moved here not the other way around, and some acceptance and willful adaptation to the ways already established here by generations of different sorts of people is required. Enough of this sulky teenager attitude. Get over it, or do what real men and women do when they are unhappy with a system….revolt! Organise a resistance, get weapons from the Cubans, throw a coup!! Sound like too march hard work? A little too dangerous….or perhaps its just counter productive considering the reasons you moved to a safe country like Australia in the first place. Hhmmm, perhaps theres something in that hey?

To TOPENDMIXBLOOD. I do not want to get even with anybody. I am just saying that Anglo-Saxon Australians are the main cause of racism in Australia. I know a lot about Anglo-Saxon Racism in Australia and it seems Australia is very racist. Just look at my facts listed. Anglo-Saxon Australians have contributed to nothing in Australia other than racism.

I would agree that the largest amount of racism in Australia comes from Anglo Saxon Australians, but do the math….they are also the largest population, it goes hand in hand. To say that they have contributed nothing to Australian society is ridiculous. This society that was deemed attractive enough for non-anglo saxon Australians to move here was created by anglo saxons.

I dont mean to rub salt in the wounds here mate, but f you look at the top five migrant destinations in the world aside from border hopping in Europe (i’m talking about actual migration here not simply work visas) then what you are seeing is the US, UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand. Five nations all spawned by Great Britain, five nations whose cultures are primarily Anglo and whose populations are so far predominantly anglo. Is this a coincidence? And as I mentioned earlier, these were all countries who apart from the indigenous communities already there, had previously had no interest shown in them by the cultures now flocking there in droves, no interest that is until these apparently ‘non-contributing’ anglos actually built a place that was worth migrating to.

Now I’m not saying that anglos did all the work. There were alot of chinese and Italians arriving in the 1800s to work on the gold fields. Thats where the Italian in me comes from. There were also Afghan camel traders moving through the deserts and its from that trade that I have some Afghan heritage as well. On the whole though, it was Anglo efforts that made this into a nation appealing for new Australians. Your refusal or inability to admit this and your need to resort to ill informed mass generalisations gives the impression that you are rife with insecurities that are based more on your own personality than the plight of your race/culture.

As for you knowing alot about Anglo-Saxon racism, I doubt it. In university, nay high school your research skills would have gotten you an F -.

I doubt that you have the social ability to have really immersed yourself in Australian Culture be it white or any other to know first hand what the people are really like. It would seem that your points have all be gleaned from Wikipedia at best and even then youve interpreted them to suit your argument.

Lets see:

1. United Nations says Australia is the only Western Nation with racist governments

= Yes, the UN found that the 1998 native title amendment reduced the rights of Indigenous Australians. This was disappointing, but this was a John Howard/Liberal move and will soon be undone under a Rudd govt. More a sign of a harsh ‘economically rational’ conservative govt than entrenched national racism. Nice sensationalism there tho mate.

2. 30,000 racists participated in the Cronulla Beach Riots. Only 2,000 people in Sydney participated in the anti – racist rally

= actually it was around 5,000 people at Cronulla comprising mostly of families, who had gone down there for a relatively peaceful rally in order to draw attention to a definite problem. There were also Asians, Aborigines, Italians and Pacific Islanders involved in that rally, not just Anglos. Sadly, the real racists, Nazi’s/White Supremacists rail-roaded a group of young ignorant and drunk anglo youths into a genuinely racist fervour. Number of actual anglo racist offenders numbers in the low hundreds. So after more than a week of organisation, only a couple of hundred drunken racists in all of Sydney/Australia could be gathered, not exactly endemic is it mate? Also its interesting to note that of the people victmised by the Anglo racists, none required serious medical treatment. On the other hand the revenge attacks preformed by members of the poor victimised lebanese community over the following couple of days involved several stabbings, always involving large groups of ‘men of middle eastern appearance’ and one anglo victim, a number of bashings with concrete blocks and baseball bats (again always groups of guys against 1 victim) and then the burning of an Anglican Church in Auburn after the local school kids had done their Christmas Carols. Anyways, I’d like to know how many anti-racism rallies there have been in whatever country you originally called home, because all countries have racism, at lest we are trying.

3. Tampa Boat Crisis

= Another Liberal Govt/Howard mess up and one that seriously almost lost them an unlosable election. There was an uproar in the public over this, but if you look at the facts involved they follow like this: Norwegian Freighter picks up Asian/Middle Eastern refugees in Indonesian waters, and rather than take them to the Indonesian authorities, decide to continue en route to Australia. This is our problem because….? The fact that there was a moral uproar in the public, even tho the federal govt had been completely right regarding international law, would seem to again undermine your argument regarding the amount of racism here.

4. Mandatory Detention

=No different than any other developed nation having to deal with an influx of illegal immigrants/refugees needing to be processed. The site at Woomera is a bit extreme in its location, but its only one. Have you seen the refugee camps on the Pakistan border, or in Ghana?

5. Needle shots for Refugees

=Completely sensible and paid for by the govt. We have very little disease here for a reason mate.

6. Aboriginal Deaths in Custody

=Tragic, but culturally relevant to people of Indigenous backgrounds in Australia. The majority of these deaths are the result of suicide as many Aborigines are not used to the idea of being shut up inside for long periods of time. Its a complicated issue and to list it here so generically lessens its importance.

7. Children Overboard

=Again, John Howard/Liberal Govt, bureaucracy and media hype. And again the fact that there was such a public back lash speaks volumes on how Australians of ALL backgrounds felt about this.

8. Why does the term “Australian” or “Aussie” only apply to Anglo-Saxons in Australia

=The term ‘Aussie’ was not an ethnic label until the 90’s and the change was introduced by the Lebanese community not the Anglo one. The term for Anglos used to be ’skippy’ as in the ‘bush kangaroo’ and it was accepted, and like the term wog could be used as an insult or one of endearment. As for the word, ‘Australian’, its free for anyone to adopt as long as they really mean it.

9. Many Anglo-Saxon Australians say the Cronulla riots were not racist. If you attack people on the basis of their race, chant racist remarks, and write racist slogans, then you have a race problem

=Many Anglo Australians say that the violence in those riots was racist as well. Many is not exactly a quantifiable term mate. Again…you fail.

10. Australia’s White Australia Policy was only demolished in 1975. You can’t become a tolarent Nation in only 30+ years.

= But we can try which is what we are doing, and its this effort that highlights why people move here as refugees and migrants from other less desirable places and not the other way around.

11. Only a little over 200 police at the Cronulla Riots. 2,000 police against the Revenge attack.

=Need I repeat myself?

12. Lebanese Gang Rapist gets 55 years for raping Anglo-Saxon Girls. Anglo-Saxon Man gets only 7 and half years for killing an Aboriginal Man in Port Hedland, Australia

=These were ugly situations from the get go. However you need to use more detail in your examples. The guy who participated in the group rapings of the Anglo girls had several testimonies against him. The rapes were racially motivated “You deserve this you Aussie Slut”. The sentence was built on combining the number of rapes. That said the 55 years was perhaps a little bit of a knee jerk reaction, but everyone knows that the guy will be out in ten years anyways. As for the Port Hedland death in custody, in the end it was put down to manslaughter, and there was no actual evidence of anything else. Pre-meditated murder would have gotten him life a life sentence but there was no evidence of that. There was a bashing that resulted death, same as you see in nighclubs and street corners. Perhaps we should increase the sentences for manslaughter, but if we did that then I can gaurantee that we’d see alot more of your knife wielding lebanese mates in jail for a lot longer. People in glass houses and all…

The list could go on and on.

=You tell us that the list could go on, and youre right it could, that is if your aim is to only look at the bad aspects of a society. But the same could be said for any culture on this planet. Apparently tho, our list however long it may be, must be shorter than most, cos new Australians keep moving here every day.

ToTOPENDMIXBLOOD. You obviously meant to rub salt in the wounds so don’t say you don’t mean it. 5,000 people at the Cronulla Beach Riot was a media lie. Some of the people present said in an intervew that the number was 30,000. My country Canada is not perfect. But I would say that we are more tolerant than the other 4. Some of the racial problems that occur in Australia do not happen in Canada. For example, Race Riots do not happen in Canada but yet happen in Australia. Racial tentions must be pretty severe for Race Riots to occur.

The general consensus is that it was around 5000 people, its not a media lie and for someone who doesnt even live here you have a pretty high opinion of your Australian general knowledge. The people claiming that there were 25,000 to 30,000 were the very racist rednecks who started the problem. They wanted it to seem like it was a more popular cause than it was. There has only been one race riot so stop making it sound like theyre common place and even that one that happened was a media beat up. I dont live in Canada, and have only visited the place on holiday. It seems quite nice. I am in no position to judge the place the same way that you are in no position to judge Australia. Your arguments are weak and ill informed as are you. Good luck on this adventure called life, you’ll need it.

How to minimise effect of Racism in Australia ??

If you are immigrant of colour you may face racism in Australia regardless of your actions, but don’t worry and loose your heart there are ways you can minimise racism!!

a) Speak Good English.

b) Move around with a girl friend from your own nationality, white people don’t like to see white chicks moving around with Asians or Arabs they will die out of jealousy. Wear good clothes and drive a nice car, hair trimmed and neatly combed, body perfumed, sunglasses are the must on sunny days.

c) Apply for only highly skilled jobs which need degree qualification and skills which are in huge demand otherwise only God and Good luck will come to your rescue as racism is pretty rife at work place. Avoid working in rural and country areas, as you have to face racism, no way out.

d) Avoid uneducated and illeterate White people from country areas and disadvantaged section of white society, they are the most racist and rednecks who try to blame coloured immigrants for their poor economic status even though they might be on dole and drugs for their whole life. Interstingly most of the highly paid jobs in Australia are taken by people from UK and Newzealand
simply because they are white and can easily mingle at the workplace without much discrimination.

e) Some Chinese and Greek/ Italian/ Leb people who are setlled in Australia for long time also think they are Australians, avoid any conflicting situation with them as they are no less racist then anyone else and can prove lethal.

f) Last but not the least follow the rules and laws of the land to avoid any trouble as you may be penalised heavly for commiting a same crime for being non-white.

To TOPENDMIXBLOOD. There has been 3 Race Riots in Australia in only the last 4 years and not just 1. Redfern Riots, Palm Island Riots, and the Cronulla Race Riots. Although most Aboriginal Deaths In Custody are from suicide, there are still others that are beaten to death. Aboriginals in Australia are 15 times more likely to be imprisoned for a minor crime than an Non-Indigenous Australian.

“Is it, when you dislike a man who is brown” – huh ?? I thought it was when you disliked someone because of their race? Mirror required here guys. It is lucky I know a lot of Indians who are strong, beautiful, gentle and wise without a single exception.
Same as pretty well everyone else in this country or any other country for that matter.
You can treat Australia as if it is an homogeneous mob of stereotypes but why would you do that? I only realized I was Australian when I lived in England for a few years – it gave me an understanding of what Indians must be pissed off about. Maybe that is going on here – more Indian then Indians living in a strange land.
Perhapses you guys are teaching me I am white (lol – or is it caucasian – haven’t heard that term used since high school – Hitler would be proud of you lot – and I should thank you all for it.
Nothing worse then being unprepared for all the weirdness that is going on around you and you are not aware of.
Oh bugger – my granddad is not white – guess I doesn’t count in this forum. Sigh – I’m just a monkey.
Come on guys – fair go – look at what has been written here. No one deserves this type of nastiness and disrespect.

woops – forgot the original comment – don’t listen to the guy who is saying dress well and pretend you are rich – guaranteed to get you written off as a wanker – be upfront – say who you are and what you are and show the people around you gentleness, respect and empathy and you will be fine – people will like you and enjoy your company – same as anywhere. Sydney is pretty different from the rest of Australia too – brutal place to live – but I am biased – lol – cheers

To Eliminate Racism,

For someone who does not live here you think very highly of your knowledge of Australia. I must profess my own ignorance of Canada’s internal issue but I do not go around claiming all Canadian Anglo saxons are racists based on what I have heard.
Below are links to the articles of the races riots which so smugly claim make Australians racist. The cronulla riots I can not deny but these were an isolated incident in a troubled area. I would be hesitant to believe in news reports of these events as even in Australia they are often blown out of proportion to make news sensationalism. I believe this because of my own experiences in having seen events that were reported but in actuality were nothing like reality.

At the risk of being politically incorrect, I must state that on a per capita basis Abourigines commit nearly 15 times as many petty crimes as other members of the community. (White,Black,Asian,Middle Eastern, Whatever)

To TOPENDMIXBLOOD

Nice to see someone has some common sense and well reason arguements instead of relying on sensational or emotive rubbish.

To TOPENDMIXBLOOD. You make excuses for some of Australia’s Racism. The United Nations would not say Australia is the only Western Country in the world with racist governments just based on the reduced Right of Aboriginal Australians. You say the Tampa Boat Crisis and Children Overboard incidents were John Howard’s fault but the majority of Anglo – Saxon Australians obviouly supported John Howard’s racist ways to vote him in for a fourth term. I say you cannot become a tolerant Nation in 30+ years. You say “But we can try”. You can try to become a tolerant nation but in the meantime Australia is not. You say calling the Cronulla Race Riots was a media beat up. So when Races, Religions, etc go around clashing with one another for a few days, What shall we call it? I do however appreciate some of the information you have provided on helping me understand Australia more.

To Don Quixote. What Canadian internal issue do you have ignorance for?

It’s the Lebanese Muslims that are the problem in Sydney.

The Lebanese Christians came here decades earlier to get away from them. They built successful communities and are well respected.

Then we let the Lebanese Muslims in during the 1970s. What a disaster! They are, on the whole, ill-educated, obnoxious, arrogant, and violent. They hate anyone who isn’t them. Look at what they’ve done to Lebanon.

Such obnoxious, bigoted people as these should not have been allowed into the country. But noooo, the mindless religion of multiculturalism dictates that only whites can be obnoxious racist bigots, and that all other peoples of the world are lovely.

If whites were as obnoxious as many think, we wouldn’t have the large and successful groups of Chinese, Thai, Japanese, and Indian migrants.

By the way, well written article, Saakshi!

I agree, your point of refusing to blend in, is totally accurate. I’m Canadian, same attitude here with immigrants. As a Canadian, I think it is my obligation to inform the authorities in the immigration dept, about some individuals by name, about their racist attitude, it so happens that they are still waiting to become citizens in this great country. I’ve had enough of their crap, they can go back to their original countries with their bullshit attitudes. Any suggestions in handling this matter with the immigration dept would be greatly appreciated,contact my e-mail address rmdemdr@yahoo.ca

Thank you

keep the indians out of australia, I left uk because they took over the country and every country they go to they take over and they dont care about any other person except themselves. they make aussies racist.

Don Quixote and TOPENDMIXBLOOD are racist terrorists who have completely excused Australia’s racism.
To Don Quixote: I asked you what Canadian internal issue you have ignorance for and you have not even stated your reason because you know you have no reason. The majority of Race Riots that take place worldwide are isolated incidents that take place in troubled areas. Does that excuse them?
To TOPENDMIXBLOOD: Just because the victims from the Anglo-Saxon Australians did not require serious treatment and the Revenge Attackers were supposedly worse does that excuse the Anglo-Saxon Australians actions?
Immigrants to Australia are being treated like prisoners and are spending days, weeks, months, even years in Dentention Facilities. Just because the Detention Facilities in Pakistan and Ghana are worse does that excuse the ones in Australia? You say Australia is disease free for a reason. So are many other countries and do you see them giving needle shots for people who move to their country? You say Australia is trying to become tolarent. So are many other countries and are they getting anywhere? The term “Aussie” does not imply to Non-White Australians because when was the the last time an Anglo-Saxon Australian refered to a Non-White Australian as an “Aussie”. You and Don Quixote have walked off this blog total losers.

Australia needs non white immigrants because
a. The white Aussie Population is aging.
b. The young aussie pop. refuses to do menial jobs.
c. australia makes a lot of money from immigrants in 2007 150000 immigrants were issued permanant residency. At about $2500 for each application, its a a fairly sizeable income. these new immigrants are refused social security in most cases for 2 years, so I dont anyone saying they are “bludgers” on the aussie social security system.
d. young aussies do not pursue “difficult” studies like engineering, medicine and highly skilled and specialised trades, preferring airy fairy degrees like arts etc which guarantee them enough time to get drunk and still get decent jobs on graduation courtesy their skin colour.
e. skilled whites from US and UK etc do not wish to immigrate in large numbers to australia, so australia HAS TO get non white people. Its simple, POPULATE OR PERISH.
A non white will always be the LAST choice for a good job and will be considered only if all avenues to find a white candidate have failed. This is the harsh reality of life in Australia.
So potential immigrants, unless you’re able to get a job in australia while ure still in your country, remember U WILL be discriminated against.
And all Indians, STAY THERE is youre well qualified. U will get the best opportunities’ in India. DONT make the mistake me and many desis have made. This country is overrated, racist and a lot of us young Indians are always planning to return, but some of us are stuck here for one reason or the other. U know pride, how can we return now to India with nothing to show, so we hang on.
well good luck.

I am an Indian and i studied in Australia for 2 years and returned back to India after a horrific incident. I don’t know whether its racist or culture stuff but it has left a deep scar in my mind. While in Melbourne I became a friend with a girl who has now acted in a serial “Underbelly”. She is of Polish and Bosnian heritage and i must admit that i was attracted towards her. I never slept with her but she used to call and ask me to meet at shopping malls and get cloths and shoes and i paid for that couple of times. I used to visit her house frequently and in my presence she used to sleep with other guys in the room. She called me to her house for dinner on Christmas eve. When i went their already there were 7-8 white guys in her house. They asked me “Are you driving taxi? “, ‘Do you work in 7-11?”, Then they said Indians are “stinky ugly f**kd up people”. That girl who i knew since 6 months was all enjoying what those crooks were speaking and suddenly those guy tried to RAPE me. Being an Indian i never have heard nor can imagine men raping a man. How horrific it was. Luckily i escaped from that house and shouted for help. A couple who lives in front of her house came out of their house and these thugs ran away. I was so embarassed to tell all these even to my friends and hence never bothered to complain to the police. After this i finished my studies and came back to India. Now i am chip design engineer in India and had a great experience working with companies like Texas Instruments and NXP Semiconductors. If i ever think about Australia i think about those 7 gay thugs. That same bitch who was laughing around that night had actually sent me a friend request at myspace. So dear Indian friends, If you are thinking of going to Australia as a student/migrant remember the following points

1. Not all Whites are racists. I have found those who are educated and crossed middle aged are very friendly while most racists are low class people with broken families.
2. Education in Australia is a business for their govt. so you are considered as a client by all universities and immigration dept
3. Quality of education in India is far better than in Australia. You will find that when you get there. If you want quality overseas education go only to the US
4. Keep whites where they are. You can live happily in Australia if you can live within your community
5. Australia is good for worker class people. Plumbers, forlift drivers, labourers, chefs, hairdressers, panelbeaters and other tradespeople who earn little in India can readily migrate to Australia as they get paid well there.
6. Professionals like software engineers, microchip designers, hardware engineers forget Australia you will be reduced to driving taxi or doing kitchen hand job there. First of all why go there when India is now a land of opportunity for all the professional and hitech jobs. If i want to switch to some other Microchip companies i can do it in a week in Bangalore. You name Intel, TI, NXP, Analog devices, ARM, Sandisk or any company, they are in Bangalore with huge base. I earn Rs. 900,000/annum and i get a same quality of life as if i can get if i earn A$80,000 in Australia.
7. The only difference i find between India and Australia is that Australian cities are clean but Indian cities are higly polluted with crappy infrastructure.

i’m a student here in Australia, and i come from kuwait ( a U.S. ally as well as AUS), it has been two years since i came to Australia and ever since i still don’t have any Aussie friends with white skin, i have never been in any kind of trouble nor have i tried to start one, i was nice to every person i have meet and on the street, and still i get racist comments from anywhere i go … ive been having thought about continuing my education in this country … am definitly not staying here, i’ll grab my stuff and money and leave, and a several of my international students friends are having the same thoughts … i’ll advise my ministry to stop sending students to this non-friendly environment … thank u for granting me the worst two years of my life.

Man …there is a lots that i can say abt australia …
racism at its best …
all white people are ass holes in australia …no matter if they pretend to be good…
today or tmr if u have an white Australian friend he will say shit to you that will shake the whole ground underneath your feet.
Don’t fucking trust them and even don’t give a fuck abt them …if u want to move over to Australian then just be within your community and relax all those who call them self Real Australian have already been killed …the left over are just uncivilized druggies deported from UK.
My whole mentality and thinking for them have changed in the past 3 years….they will abuse you while u r walking down the street….without even a word to say.
they are just jealous as now they really have some quality tough competition from skilled Asian migrants. Now a days they keep promoting racist programmers on television saying that what futures lies ahead of their children’s as a lot of people are coming to australia and taking their jobs….bla bla bla. They are just trying to hide there inefficiency underneath our name. We people do are very well educated and rich …
thats why we pay our uni fees…that are almost 7 times more than the regular aussie uni student.
Many asians also drive cabs and work at 7/11 but thats just apart time work to support there living expenses …
Even today if all the cab drives leave driving cabs …trust me they will get fucked real bad….
My friend always tell me that ..on friday and Saturday ….these so called australian even start begging you ..just to get a cab….
Most of these jerks are 10th grade educated ..
Dont take shit from them, as of …dont like our culture then leave our country …lol …
first of all ..its multicultural …and second u are an immigrant too ..u r parents have already killed the local people “aboriginals ”
Hopefull one day an Asian person will become PM and will teach then atticates .

May I ask what made you come to this conclusion? Did anyone attack you personally? Because I have lived in Australia (Melbourne) for 3 years and really fell in love with the country and people. Never encountered any kinda racism. I was studying at RMIT and all my teachers were very supportive too.

And, in regard to cabbies and students working at 7/11, it is by their own choice. We, the Indians, cheat our way to go abroad to earn money. That’s what most of us do. I personally came across numerous of students who still couldn’t speak straight English but managed to come here by all that bribing. And I am sure you can see that after living in Sydney as well. Every student wants to study hospitality to get a residency and for that they will do the best they can. So it’s all based on personal choices, not like Kevin Rudd or his Govt made any rules for the Asians to follow.

It’s in every Third World Country’s blood to work hard unlike the developed nations who enjoy the immigrants working because the immigrants want to create opportunities at any given rate.

Till now I have people asking me if I encountered any racist act at all. And to be very frank, I encountered them from my own people. Indians. Not from the Whites. Every country has it’s own share of good, bad and ugly and I would not blame the whole nation just because a few odd 5 people out of 20,434,176 gave me the looks for being a brown girl.

Cheers

1. In Sydney, Australia, the LEAST TOLERANT Suburbs are the ones dominated by Anglo-Saxon populations. That’s not shocking at all.
2. Some of the residents of Cronulla including the Mayor talk about the residents of Cronulla being tolerant and opposing the Cronulla Riots. What a lie. They were rated the LEAST TOLERANT Suburb.
3. Increased Non Anglo-Saxon Australian Immigrants coming to Australia and Non Anglo-Saxon Australians of various generations opposing John Howard’s racist acts led to John Howard losing his election not Anglo-Saxon Australians.
4. Peter Debnam another racist politician lost his election again because Sydney, Australia is dominated by Non Anglo-Saxon Australians.
5. Anglo-Saxon Australians should never forget how badly Muslim Australians are being treated.
6. There are more Anglo-Saxon Australian extremeist groups and racists than any other race in Australia. When was the last time an Anglo-Saxon Australian spoke out against this?
7. The majority of Australians that took part in the Anti-Racist and Peace Protests were Non Anglo-Saxon Australians.
8. Except for 1 blog, all the other blogs I have been on had majority of Anglo-Saxon Australians posting racist comments.

You know, Not all aussies are racist… HOwever there are some and if a student/migrant comes over they will be taunted and abused if they go with the wrong crowds.
Australia is as racist as any other country in the world, which includes INdia, US, UK China etc.
UK, US and AUS are similair but i think India is more racist than Australia. (EG: A true Indian mum wont let their INdian child marry a white) (ALthough times are changing.)

Racist are people who have short emotion but insane…
They just totally forget if they’re never plan where they have to be born or who’s would be gave birth to them…
EVER!
it could be a black, brown, red, yellow, white or green skin mother…

Then, forgive them all………..
cause “God have the wise way to decide the priority”

Australia was built on the hardships of the 1st european settlers. We worked hard to forge a great nation out of some truly inhospitable country. Why do you think australian’s act the way we do when we have sand kicked in our face by foreign ingrates like the middle easterner’s? Can you really blame us? Some people here are just plain racist but the majority are not. Alot of ethnic people in this country love to shout ‘RACISM’ when things don’t go their way. Its got to such a point that the average white australian cant even mention anything about another person race without receiving unwanted attention from the authorities and left wing bleeding hearts, yet its perfectly fine for an ethnic australian to say whatever they want about the whites. Ethnic people can jump up and down and demand whatever they want in this country, whereas the average aussie has to battle to make ends meet. Oh, and please dont start on me with the whole aboriginal thing, they are quite happy living off working aussies tax dollars. Basically we are a hard working, proud western nation, and naturally we are wary of outsiders. We created laws to protect everyone in this country, laws which protect your freedom of religion, and freedom to pursue success. So if you want to come here, respect the laws of the country, the people who’s blood sweat and tears built it and stop making such a big fuss over this whole racism thing. It is the ethnics who live on easy street in Australia, and the whites are the oppressed majority. And if you want to come here, and take a dump on this great modern nation, you can expect to be treated with hostility. Your country is probably a 2nd or 3rd world country, you should be grateful to be here at all. If not you know where the door is and i am only too happy to lock it behind you.

i just want to say this :

not all aussies are Racist

i accept all ppl and soo do all my mates and by rights im not full aussie yes i might have been born here but i still feel like an out cast but still its no ression too class us Racist by all means call the goverment that i couldnt care less and yes granted most ppl here will shit on you but think about it for a moment a couple and i mean just a couple of ppl asia , south east whatever just diffrent ppl from diffrent cultrue’s in gangs making trouble where others are just trying to live in peace work for a living rasie kids and so forth

the ppl who are Racist to u is the one u should blame n not the entire austraila u all seem to think its just one nation when its not AND IM NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT AUSTRALIA BUT EVERYONE ELSE TOO

U GUYS N GIRLS NEED TO FUCKING GROW UP

Australia is a fucking racist country, people who come here for better opportunities face discrimination and persecution from majority whites Anglo Saxons and other Europeans as well. Most Aussies practice racism with pride and love to boast about white superiority above other cultures. But in reality white Aussies are trash drug addicts and dolebludger who treat the real Aussies (indeginous people) as sub humans and depends heavily on exports of minerals and natural resources for income. Most Aussies are descendant of dirty criminals from British Isles and hence suffer from world class inferiority complex, they resent successful immigrants like Doctors, Engineers and IT professionals and spiteful of their presence. Actually these loser Aussies are are laughing stock for Brits and Americans who treat them as inferior convicts, even NewZealanders and Canadians thinks Aussies are stinkigly racist and low life scum. They only promote their own kind, racism, corruption and nepotism is rife, and your success and social security depends overwhelmingly on skin colour. Only solution to curb racism is mass immigration from Asia and India which will help to counter Anglo saxon racism and that will be a possibility in another 30 to 40 years. Asian immigration has been proven as a blessing for the sluggish economy of the Island nation which still derives most of its GDP from the sales of primary products and raw materials like iron ore, coal , bauxite, meat and live animals to Muslim countries for slaughter.

A column about Australia by David Dale, published in The Sun-Herald, 26/10/2008
Funny how nobody talks about immigration any more. The hottest issue of five years ago has vanished from the national agenda. That’s probably because Australians think there isn’t much of it happening these days. We assume the immigration program was cut back during the Howard years because both sides of politics feared that most Australians were deep-down racists, and would vote against any party which brought in more of those dreadful foreigners.

It’s time to dispose of some myths. Immigration is at record levels, and if they knew what kind of new citizens we are getting, Australians would be delighted. So lets tell them.

The first clue comes in the population clock that appears on the website of the Bureau of Statistics. It now operates on the assumption that this country has a net gain of one international migrant every 2 minutes and 55 seconds. Five years ago it was calibrated on the basis of one migrant arriving every four minutes and 9 seconds.

Combine the immigration boom with our current breeding frenzy and you find our population going up by one person every one minute and 37 seconds (and set to reach 22 million by 2011).

We currently have a net gain of 178,000 new settlers a year – the biggest numbers in 40 years – and that represents 56 per cent of our annual population growth. The countries contributing most are Britain, New Zealand, China and India.

Most of us would probably go along with the stereotype that the Chinese get top marks at university and end up as doctors and scientists, while the Indians work in call centres and run curry shops. The Bureau offers some mythbusting research from the 2006 census.

It says that in the immigration program since 2000, 61 per cent of the Chinese and 82 per cent of the Indians arrived through the “skill stream” (here because they’re needed, as opposed to family reunions or refugees).

The biggest surprise is that the Chinese earn less than Australian-born people, while the Indians earn more. “The median individual income of people born in China was $239 per week compared with $539 for people born in India and $484 for Australian-born people,” says the bureau.

Where do the new arrivals work? “Accommodation and food services was the largest employing industry for China-born residents in 2006 (accounting for 17.6% of employed China-born persons). Manufacturing was the largest employing industry for India-born residents (with 11.7% of employed India-born persons).”

Nearly a third of the Indian arrivals describe themselves as “professionals” (compared with 22 per cent of Chinese and 19 per cent of Australian-born), while 17 per cent of Indians are “clerical and administrative workers” (compared with 10 per cent of Chinese and 15 per cent of Australian-born). At the lowest paying end of the employment scale, 14 per cent of Chinese, 8 per cent of Indians and 10 per cent of Australians describe themselves as labourers.

But what kind of numbers are we talking about here? Have we opened the floodgates to people who are taking jobs away from good old Aussie labourers, clerks, restaurateurs, and graduates?

The bureau reports that Australia’s population of 21.5 million includes 206,588 people who were born in China, and 147,106 people who were born in India. Hardly the kind of numbers to give nightmares to Pauline Hanson — but enough to make Australia a more interesting place.

As an Australian citizen who have lived here for approximately 30 years I can tell you Australia as a nation has digress in terms of race relations. It seems the majority of Australians are delusional about such issue. The government loves to paint Australia as a friendly country but this is further from the truth. The truth is a lot uglier than what the media portrayal of Australia is to the global community. In fact compared to other Anglo Saxon governed country such as USA, UK, NZ and Canada I would rate Australia at the bottom in terms of openness. You can never eliminate racism but you can always educate its citizens towards race relations but then again this can become a problem if the people deny such thing exist.

I should probably leave this horrible discussion dying like it deserves, but I find it amazing people like Joe (and he is only the latest in a long list) can say things like “….in reality white Aussies are trash drug addicts and dolebludger[s]“, “Most Aussies are descendant of dirty criminals”, “Aussies are stinkigly racist and low life scum”.

I I the only one who sees the irony? Look up racism in the dictionary and you’ll find, Joe, that you just spewed a whole heap of it all over this board…….

In modern times ARSEtralia and ARSEtralians = false pride, self adulation and bad charisma = PERVERSE PEOPLES..not really racist per say such as your american gun toting, dragging a black brother tied by rope on the back of the ute/truck type or british pommy bangers n mash peckerwood paki bashing thingy but a more pussy, less sophisticated, backwater cringe worthy type of racist that any learned colored person would really just laugh at to be honest nothing to be actually physically and individually scared of. Displays of overt and covert racism is the name of the game here in australia..just mental mind games they love to play out under the guise of a whole lot of excuses and subjects to make themselves seem and sound articulate and on par with much more developed western white nations. An educated type separatist/racist white person from other western nations would probably cringe n have a chuckle under there breaths as to the crude vulgar style of the ARSEtralians n how they get away with some of the shit said n done n would probably disassociate themselves from the feral ARSEtralian type of racism however a southern yokel american/apartheid “africans”/british skinheads/kraut krackers kkk n others of the fera whitel ilk look up to ARSETralia as a model of white unity

No disrespect to any colored migrants who have experienced ARSEtralian racism but really in all honesty you need to verify with yourself if indeed it was YOU who was sold and bought the lie of ARSEtralia’s “fair go”,harbour bridge, opera house, friendly people stage show without doing any proper critical research into the aforementioned subject matter of ARSEtralian racism and ARSEtralian history. YOU and ONLY YOU have set yourself up with high expectations of friendliness, embrace, empathy and tolerance only to find out the ugly backwater truth down under..it’s a cold world everywhere not just ARSEtralia…we are living in the Kalyug Era after all just incase you had forgotten and you should know by now that during kalyug it’s not meant to be peaches n cream lol

As a South African I am so confused what racism is. Just note I was born after apartheid was gone in South Africa and didn’t benefit at all from the previous apartheid regime. I decided to leave South Africa because of discrimination against white South Africans through the reversed racism process of affirmative action and employment equity. Under these laws I as white male is standing last in the row if a job position became available after: a black woman, a black male, a coloured woman, coloured male, Indian woman, Indian male and if a white woman is considered the possibility is more likely she would get a position even with less experience than me because I am a male.

Racism is found all over the world in every country. It is a natural phenomenon according to my understanding to protect and develop your race, if you are white, black, brown, yellow, red or blue…

I belief particularly if you migrated from another country to Australia you should adopt towards the Australian culture and lifestyle. You can not expect them to adapt to your culture. If you expect this change you should have stayed where you were and not immigrated to Australia. If you want to be part of Australia you have to blend in and not try and expect Australians to blend in with you and adapt to your culture!
You are the invader in their country and they gave you the opportunity to become part of them, not they part of you! Muslims forcing their customs off on Australians will result in racism and even worse attacks. The same will be for any other culture trying to change or place the Australian culture under threat.

My opinion: Adapt or f – off.

Australia is a racist country, even worse than the US or South Africa ever was. If you are a Muslim or Indian thinking to migrate, stay away! These people hate you. Don’t try and blend in, cos they would want your culture to be destroyed. Rather die in your won backyard than in a foreign country. In future things will become worse in Australia as minority groups will become bigger and be suppressed by the majority of whites….this will result in racist clashes.

More Anglo-Saxon Australian racism: 22% of Anglo-SaxonAustralians are descendents of convicts. No wonder many of them act and talk stupid. There is so many racist videos on Youtube created by Anglo-Saxon Australians that are not deleted and yet as soon as a racist video created by a Non-Anglo-Saxon Australian is posted, it is deleted. Anglo-Saxon Australian racism is either ignored, treated as joke, justified, glorified, denied, or is blamed on the stupidest reasons. The Cronulla Beach Riots was blamed on too much heat and alcohol. The Redfern Riots were blamed on greif (understandable), heat, and alcohol. Except for grief, these were the stupidest reasons. A racist society or person never admits racism. When you do this, you are showing that you are not only racist but that you tolerate it.

What makes TOPENDMIXEDBLOOD ignorant and racist.
TOPENDMIXEDBLOOD says it was Anglo-Saxon Australians who made Australia into an attractive place for immigrants as if all Anglo-Saxon Australians were responsible. Some were responsible, some were not.
TOPENDMIXEDBLOOD says the “revenge attacks performed by members of the poor victimised Lebanese Community”. Notice how TOPENDMIXEDBLOOD is blaming the entire Lebanese Community for the actions of some of their members. At the Cronulla Beach Riots, 4,800 racists cheered on the other 200 members of the rioters for racially attacking people not to mention some of the other rioters who chanted and wrote racist slogans. And TOPENDMIXEDBLOOD says the majority of the people who participated in the Cronulla Beach Riots went down for a relatively peaceful protest. TOPENDMIXEDBLOOD is a desendent of a convict being a part Anglo-Saxon Australian of numerous generations and is therefore taught about Anglo-Saxon Australians racist ways and therefore supports them.

Just a little update for anyone interested on the festivities of the recent ARSEtralia Day celebrations. White teenage youths attacking Sikh taxi driver, attacking Asian girl in car and attacking all non-white shop owners in Manly (suburb in apparently affluent area of Sydney). All these people were going about their business respecting the laws of the land when they were attacked.

As to the comments made by that “African” peckerwood (most likely either of british or dutch ancestry, pretty much european) who commented after my post and tried to imply that he infact faced discrimination/2nd class treatment fails to realise or cunningly/complacently like all crackers leaves out the FACT that this occurred after THEY stopped oppressing/suppressing a massive BLACK MAJORITY. You did not leave due to reverse racism/discrimination as he conveniently puts it but REACTIVE RACISM as the BLACK MAJORITY got hold of and took back what was theirs in the first place and then went about giving you the same treatment that was dished out to them but we all know not even they could emulate the type of discrimination and racism that is inherent in white european people.
Fact of the matter is that rich racist elitist whites (oppenheimer,rhodes etc) still run South Africa and control it’s minerals and resources, it’s only that the confused common/working class/battler/white european settlers “south africans” who were also enjoying themselves during the apartheid era and actively supported it, that now cannot partake in the plunder and discrimination against the true native indigenous Africans on a large scale hence the migration to notoriously racist countries such as ARSEtralia where they conveniently continue their racist views with their ARSEtralian cousins and they hurl abuse at every opportunity to touring South African cricket teams by calling the African players on the field kaffirs etc.
Notice how this “african” has so easily integrated into the racist ARSEtralian culture by giving the compulsory goodbye greeting now very common in ARSEtralia “adapt or fuck off”, “if you dont like it fuck off”, “love it or leave it”. Well what can I say these statements speak for themselves and show the true perverse nature of ARSEtralians and peckerwoods in general.

PEACE

hello. all you indians are talking and complain about the racist in Australia, perhaps you are right because as someone said above there are some ignorants people called Aussies from westen suburbs who are reall pigs, rough , racist …they blame to all immigrants their lack of opportunities,, luck, but they are really lazzies…but in the other hand you indians are as well being racist..why some indians say that you are the best in the world …

theres a reason why australia is the 51st state. australia is racist for sure. i have met many aussies in the past few years. i even lived there. the wierd thing is, i hear these white aussies complaining about immigrants, muslims, and aboriginals to me, as if i was white or something. i am an asian bloke, so i dont know why these guys are complaining to me. shouldnt they be discussing this at the kkk meetings with other white racists. i meet people from all over the world, and i have to say the aussies are up there being the top racists. the most racist is probably usa, followed by south africa, and australia. others who deserve honorable mention include canada, netherlands, danmark, and needless to say, israel.

I have lived here for 25 years and appart from my dark complexion, I act and feel Australian and love the country. I am part English and part Indian but look Indian. I am proud of both my cultures and was born in the UK. I have noticed white Australian’s are now much more hostile to me and are now talking down to me. Why, there are much more Indian’s in Australia now and overall they are treated like second class citizens. I am therefore classified as one of these newly arrived Indians and deserve to also be treated like second class people.

Even friends of mine will comment when the get out of a taxi making a negative comment like – “God the taxi driver smells, oh yeah he is Indian” “or be careful he is Indian and will try to rip you off”. Then if they even bother to notice me will say, “oh you’re not like them you are different”. It is wide spread and across Australian culture. I see it all the time, Indian’s are treated like crap (as are mainy ethic grousp). White Australian’s like to think they give people a fare go but they don’t. And I have to also add, I only get this from White Austalians “of English, Scottish, Irish backgrounds”. Asians, Lebanese, Italians, Greeks, Africans, no issues at all.

Finally, the country is Aboriginal, they are the real Australians and it breaks my heart to still go to a White Australian BBQ and here racist comments about them. White Australians “for the most” don’t like Aboriginals because Aboriginals remind them that not too long ago they also came to Australia from somewhere else and they are really immigrants like Indians, Chinese, Lebanese, Italians etc. Aborininals remind White Australian’s they have stollen this country and their ancestors have committed terrible things to the native Aboriginals.

White Australians like to feel superior to more recently arrived ethnic groups but reality is they came to Australia in chains as petty criminals. Chinese have been in Austalia for over four generations, I White Australian will still consider then Chinese. I will now consider White Austarlians to be Irish, Scottish and English depending on their surname.

I read your comment. I live in the US. and I am an asian. There is not racism in the US. There are some rednecks but they dont bother you, they dont say anything to you unlike Australia. From all the comments, it sounds like Australian are very outspoken making comments, chant racist remarks. That hardly happens in the US. I am asian lived in the US for 10 years not even a single incident. Some americans are sensitive to Blacks but that is a different story, most blacks are thugs anyways. Who likes them. Just lke Lebanese in Australia.

I live in SA since 2008, so far there has not been any sign of racism, maybe it’s just me being ignorant and self focus, I have not encountered one yet…hopefully never.

Australia is FAR more racist than the States or even Britain (which is probably about as racist as it gets on this planet)

As for racism being everywhere, that’s the first thing I hear from white appologists who immediately jump to defend their sorry hides, as well as the blatant and cruel acts their ancestors have comitted all over the world.. Sure, disscrimination exists everywhere…but racism? No, racism in it’s modern form seems to be invented by white people and white countries in the 12th century due to their patehtic inferiority complex.

I am a Canadian who recently moved to Australia. I am half Anglo and half Asian. I was raised in an upper-class White community, but also have the knowledge of my Asian roots.

I am shocked with Australia. I have never observed racism until I came to Sydney.

I have both White Australia and Ethnic Australian friends, and there is a huge gap. People from Sydney’s West (ethnic areas) and the Eastern Subs (White areas) hardly co-habit. There is a lot of tension.

One thing that really bothers me is the LACK of ethnic embracing. In Canada, people of all races co-mingle. There are beautiful ethnic women (gorgeous Indian women, Spanish, Arabian, mixed, etc) represent in it’s media — WHY NOT IN AUSTRALIA? I’m not saying White’s are too blame, as many may NOT be racist. However, the AUSTRALIAN MEDIA and government are very much in favor of WHITES.

The atmosphere in Sydney is very sleazy and prentenious. Generally, Australia values are very low. Whites, I have noticed, are very drawn to brothels, drinking and drugs. Compared to Canada, UK, and the US, Australia seems like a messed up country.

Australia painted a facade that it’s people (mainly the Whites) are fun-loving and laid back. I feel many of them are alcoholics, sleazy, and heavy drug users.

Umm, hate to be the one to break it to a few of the people on this board but there is no such thing as race: it’s basically the easter bunny of anthropology.
There isn’t a brown ‘race’, you’ve just lost the original African complexion because the region in which you trace your more recent ancestry was a little less sunny than Uganda. There isn’t a white race, that’s just what happens to a human’s skin after a couple of thousand years in a region with a lack of sunlight (you’d know what I mean if you’ve ever been to London…most miserable weather known to mankind).
And besides, white skin remains an irritating defect, exposing those who have it to a higher risk of skin cancer.
It remains very easy to wander round branding entire countries as ‘racist’, but notice that an awful lot of contributors here seem to be defining racism as being something only white people are capable of.

Recently 2 australian barged into a home of indian students and beaten them mercilessly. One indian was stabbed repeatedly with an spanner and he is in icu? and worst of this is the australian police dint register a case against the culprits?…If it has been an american? they would have definitely taken action. But because they are indian’s they are not taking action, This proves australian government doesnt care for the people’s(from india) who come to australia…

Fuck Australia!
Iam speaking in their own language because they dont understand simple sober attitude, if you dont want people come from Asia tell DIMIA not to issue further visas to India, Pakistan and Bangladesh and sooner you will find that the country doesn’t have funds because this country is running from International students.

The fact is that by temparement Aussies are hot headed, impatient and overreactive. They may call it being a sign of being blunt and straightforward, however this is due to the past lineage and the genetics passed on from ex convicts and the marriages between various races of ex convicts.

i deal with aussies, americans, british and canadians in business and while british are polished versions of aussies, aussies are the root version of whites infected with false superiority complex. A very focussed research on Colour Pigment and Intelligence has been supressed for years as it proves that lack of colour pigment is a biological disorder and phasing out of these races.

What Asians must do is to STOP going to these countries for study and business, refuse to build their economy and come back to their home countries and create a change,

All the recession in the world is created due to these supposedly super intelligent whites and now we all have to suffer and then protect them. nature will take its due course and phase out races which discriminate.

How can a hindu vs hindu or hindu vs muslim riots in India can be racist riot when people from both the group are of the same race? Please tell me I really want to know.

Saakshi I have only one question for you. If a similar incidence had happened to australian student studying in India, what do you think would have happened. Its all very nice to say that australians are non racist, but what is the truth/reality. I too have studied and worked in australia and its not like i dont know what im saying. . I don’t think the Indian reaction is overdone, what has been done to punish the people involved. Such a matter is of grave concern and Australians will think twice before resorting to violence. One student is battling for his life, can u imagine the extent and guts of the offenders. I think the australian govt should send out a message loud and clear msg to convince the international community that they are concerned. I haven’t yet heard of any arrests being made. Does it take so long…..it’s not like a jack the ripper case???

The arrest and dragging of peace march students is atrocious. Is Australia even democratic? Or is it the start of racist talibanisation of Australia? Its upto the Australians to decide the future they want to live in.

I am a white Australian female and I can only give my perspective on the race issue in Australia. I do believe there is a problem with racism here. I have had a dirty look or two, and on one occasion, a barely coherent racist comment, while walking down the street with my half indian fiancee…though the man thought he was a ‘dirty arab’.

Many lower and lower middle class Aussie males will be very outspoken and obvious about their racism as we have all heard on the news. What perhaps many people don’t see is the less obvious and outspoken people, say middle aged women and men, older people. They may not be so obvious about their racism but I have heard many people in what they think is ‘white only confidence’ express their racist remarks and tendencies. I work in retail and my former manager refused to take resumes from indians and east asians.

I also believe blaming these racial attacks on a simple increase in street crime is a mistake. Though there has certainly been an increase, I think we all know there is a problem but we’re trying to save face.

My group of friends is very ethnically mixed and I do believe you can get along well here, I especially think that the majority of the younger generation is quite accepting of people…many of us are mixed anyway! I think there needs to be more awareness out there about which suburbs are safe for you and which are not. That’s one major trap if you don’t know the area well. I’d say do your research and ask friends or relatives who are here already which areas have less outright racial hostility.

P.S. If anyone has kept up with the news here did anyone notice that the only time the government started taking the issue seriously was when reports came in of Indian officials stepping in and a downturn forecast for the economy?? It’s pathetic and transparent.

Well from what we see and hear and know, Australia the country was used as Kala Pani send off for most criminals, it was the next level to whatr Andaman was, infact Australia was to the world what Andaman was to India.. so in other words the older generation of the white Australians has been criminals and crooks.. so for the present generation it would surely have some genes which would want to go the unscrupulous way to find there daily bread.. to term it only racist will be a pity since these are the genes problem for the criminals .. and its not what they think about people coming from outside its just the way they are… Even if tehy were to be left with only whites on that Island they would be killing wach other too.,

all this stuff about australia being racist against indians is rubbish. There are unfortunately racists in every country. But if you look at the facts: Australia is a much more egalitarian society, and more accepting of diverse cultures. Sure we have had tiny race riots here like that at cronulla. But compared to the race riots in Mumbai they are nothing.
The amount of caste-based violence in India suggests that they should worry about discrimination in their own country before criticising us.

im an indian, and being an indian i respect my national language hindi , so from here onwards im writing my views in hindi,
and whoever feels that writing in our national language is un-cool, they may not read further, because there are many indians who are not proud of their country & has this weird mentality, that if an indian dont know english is un-educated or un-cool. And this is just bull-shit mentality. . i would say Go italy, russia, japan, brazil, they all lead cool, modern lifestyles, but they speak in their own language, infact they hate english.

Anyway, upar ke bahut saare comments maine pare, saurab, aashish ke comments bahut achche hai kyuki ye sach hai ki not only aussies , sab gore countries racist hai. . aur ye ’snarf’ banda dono side ki taarif me laga hai, i think hes trying to prove he is intelligent even after hes an indian and he knows what hapeened with us in Aus,
aur ‘Prem’ ne to aussies ki kafi badaai ki hai. . Dukh ki baat hai ki british raaj khatam ho gya kabka, fir bhi goro ki gulami aur unki khidmat me bahut indians lage huye hai aaj bhi.

Dosto, hum gareeb zaroor hai, humaare desh mei better job opputunities nahi hai, isiliye hum foreighn countries me naam shohrat kamaane jaate hai, par badle me hume kya milta hai- “Apmaan” ..
. . Isse accha to, hum apne hi desh me ek choti moti naukri karke din chala sakte hai . . . but nahi hum aakhir aisa kyu kare. . . kyuki yaha ke kuch disgusting desh-drohi logo ko apne desh pe garv nahi.. unko to goro ke sath hi rehna hai, unke juute me rehne mei kuch indians ko sukoon milti hai.. kyu sahi kaha na maine bhaiyo. . aur baad me jab goro se pitaai parti hai tab unhe apni desh yaad aati hai. . . So friends, goro ke pair mat chaato, aawaz uthao aur lado.

. . And we have to be strong, aaj tak hum sehte aaye hai unki dadagiri, ab agar hoga, to hum sabhi ko chup nahi baithna,
agar aap unko jyada strong samajhte hai that they can bully us brown people . . then hume bhi apne dimag ko istemaal karni chahiye . . unka details lo, unko blackmail karo, etc. ye sab iss tarah karo ki wo logo ko pata na chale ki ye kaun kar raha hai. .
yes i know, ki ye thoda filmy hai, but still we can do it in real if we have the will to fight against racism.

* Just remember agar unke paas strength hai, toh humaare paas brain hai. . . Jai hind !!!

i think this person dont even know about what is happening in the country. hey boy,
Old racist prejudices are being revived with theories of cultural superiority. Treasurer Peter Costello’s call for migrants to accept “Australian values” was supported by 79% of people in the Newspoll. But few could agree on what these values were!.why Australian people then think that pwn culture is better then anyone elses…what about Alon jones who have been given a queen award and wht he did was he used his radio to make aheat wave against the LAB people. but guys moreover, i am not generlising like everone is racist but what will you say about those JOKES about migrents and refugees and all other communities in every australian phone.. i just know one thing who is powerfull will try to force his terms over the other,, and governments just try to balance between all of them just to make their positions stable…

@ Anurag
Your hypothesis that australians have bad blood due to a convict heritage is both stupid and improbable. Why? because most convicts were sent over for minor things like stealing bread and hankerchieves – lots of people at this time were starving because the economy was going bad and there jst wasn’t enough jobs so people were forced to steal to survive.

As a eurasain with an indian and korean friend, i find remarks that austtralia is racist absurd. i have NEVER experianced racism. Nor has my indian friend (i asked her).

So f”ck you Anurag, for insulting half of my heritage.

Dear Freinds:

I was in Melbourne for a year, then came back with my family, I have my own views here:
1. These attacks were there, from last many years, but now been in lime light, courtsey Indian media. Things are not that bad !
2. After few weeks, the Indian media will stop covering it, but this will continue, but atleast the hype will die down.
3. The victims are mostly young students,since the attackers are also young guys who envy them, I didnt had any attack, but has some verbal experiances.
At the same time I thank all my collegues, who were very very good in my last job in Aus, they rather pampered me since I was only Indian Engineer in my company !!
4. Now the fault of Indian students is that most of them go with their spouces to get small jobs only, and not to study, so we cant blame locals, since Indian guys are called for studying and not for jobs, so they defy the basic understanding
5. But the main thing is that Melbo has very poor job scene, and you end up doing petty jobs, irresespective of your eduactional background, since you have to survive. Even to get petty jobs of $5/hour is very very difficult.
6. I could do job for 4 months, in my 10 months stay there, and my wife zero, thing are pretty bad, now many Indian guys suggested me to drive courier van, since I have Aus License, but I refuced. In the end I got job as engg, but you never know for how much time, and I was earning more in India, as compared to what I was earning when I was in Job in Aus, so no point staying in so much insecurity and no future, and I feel my kids have better propspects in India
7. the persons who have never been to Aus, can never access the situation there, like moving in train in odd timings, since most of us get odd jobs, so u cant escape odd timings,

Things are not as bad as Indian media has projected, but also not as good as we see in Indian movies and in internet !!

cheers,

You want people to stop being racist with you? Simple

Show them a smile, be nice to them, treat them as your own, and treat yourself as one of them, make friends with them, reach out for them

It goes both ways, believe me

Racism exists in every country. I am sure if I go to any other country, there would be someone who would not like me because I am indian. As a South African Indian, I can assure you that Australians are no where as near as racist as South Africans. When people scream racism, everyone thinks white people are the perpetrators and this is not true. As a fourth generation South African indian, I can assure you that I have experienced more racism with african and dutch (afrikaans) south african people. In South Africa, there are 1.5 million indians, the minority race group who has been there since the 1800’s. If anything, it was the english speaking (white british) south africans who were/are more tolerant. This is just a brief part of our history, but my point is, just go to South Africa and then you will know what racism is all about. Yes there are are minority of the people who are racist and yes I did encounter racism, which I think is due to me being indian. What I found was that if I do come across a racist Australian (minority), they don’t seem to like indian people. One of the reasons , what I heard, could be that indians don’t assimilate or because of the offshoring of jobs. Sometimes, I feel that Australians start acting nicer to me when they find out I am South African. I have also heard some nasty things from Australians being said about South African people, but they don’t know our history. The racism that I did encounter was from Australian women and the younger generation, most who don’t seem to have respect, tolerance and manners. Education starts off at home and if parents instill good values to their children, then they take it with them to the real world. However, above all being said, majority of Australians are very tolerant and friendly people, people that I feel comfortable around, more so than I would be around a South African.

Is Australia racist?Who do u refer as Australian?The abrogines?The whites?The immigrants from middle east,asia and africa?who???Racism is one element of a society that would take a long time to vanish cuz people from every cultures do have racism within them and yes there are racist elements in Australia but I could not digest the fact when Indians declared Australians as racist cuz i know how racist the Indians are.India is divided so badly by the religions,groups within religions,different regions and cultures.Who thinks India is safer then Australia for foreign students?I dont cuz i did my bachelors study in India have encountred many racist behaviour and assults.One of my friend who studied in Deradhun even have to flee to Nepal from India after one of the fellow indian student summoned his brother who was a big gangster in that part of the country.In India it’s not only bashing like here in Australia,They will kill u and throw u to some place where no one can find u and the police are all curropted or dont care about every assult unless it’s an assult on a son of a big shot or you r the son of prime minister.It is a pretty f@#ked up place to be honest.You can’t travel with your eyes closed cuz the moment u close ur eyes ur pickpocketed by someone.The main problem with Indians here is they dont want to admit their wrong doings.I beleive they have given lot of reasons for the people to hate them but they still beleive that they are perfect and are always right.Feel pity over ur community and stop fooling around and carrying mini India to wherever u go cuz u r destroying the society in Australia.There are some good Indians who r being bashed becuz of u fools.cuz i beleive good and bad exist in every society..

Although I grew up in apartheid South Africa, I am proud to be one and so too I am proud of my indian heritage. Being indian ethnically, and yes I was born there and did not move from india as many people assume, I encountered racism with african and dutch (afrikaans) South Africans and therefore my point is that racist people exist in every race and nationality. Australians are very tolerant, well most, but the little racism I experienced was from some Australian women who I found were cold and rude and the teenagers who don’t have any respect for anyone, which is quite shocking. If someone does not understand something about anothers culture, don’t stare or laugh at them, but go and ask them about it. Although I have heard about horror stories from other indian South living in other first world countries about racism, and as I have never been to those countries, all I can say is that this proves the point that there is racism everywhere. One thing to remember is that alot of migrants who come to Australia bring their racism with them, since they are not used to seeing people of colour due to lack of different ethnicities in their native countries. For instance, the small amount of racism I experienced was with chinese, lebanese and once from a romanian lady who refused to sit next to because of my race. I am quite okay if someone does not like me because of my race, but not to the point where it escalates to violence, which is totally unacceptable and should not be tolerated and in that case people should stand up.

I am a brown-skin American, and I am 67 years young. Travel educates people, and I have been all over the world. We are humans, and I love all nice people. I love my skin also and my hair, for God gave it to me. Black does not crack, so I look about 40ish, but I keep my gray .hair, and I love it. I am inviting any Australian to visit me, no matter the age, and I will show you Chicago etc, and you can use your hotel money to spend here. You never know a place, until you stay with a native. My area is racially mixed, so you will not stand out, as much as I would sand out there.
Judi (nice1024805@aol.com) Let’s start a e-mail friendship, and ask me anything decent and sane. lol

Did the people who came to Australia try to fit in with the people living there? Did the Americans fit in with the Indians? Did the Africans fit in? One guy here calls himself Kaffir , and that means the N word in South Africa.
I have invited Australians to visit America, and one day, I hope to take that train ride, and put some color in the travel dvds. We will end up bones, so enjoy this moment.

I think it’s racist to say that Australia is racist. Just as it’s racist for someone to say that all blacks are criminals, or jewish people are stingy. It’s absolutely ridiculous to label an entire race for the ignorant behaviour and attitudes of some. Let’s not point the finger but be understanding and tolerant of others. Racism usually occurs due to misunderstanding or closed minds. I’m sick of people seeing the colour not the person. If you have to judge at all, judge the individual by their actions.

Yes Australia is a racist country & the person who posted this original thread is a perfect example of the type of covert racist we live with each day.

The typical ranting about “we are multi-cultural” really means, people are welcome to come here providing they forego their own unique culture. And assimilate into what is called the “Australia why of life” which really translates into the “white Anglo Christian way of life”. They don’t want or except other people of the worlds cultural values or beliefs, which are viewed as an attack on their beloved “Australian way of life”. The only bit there interested in is the food you bring, and shagging your women. More than happy to have them beautiful black & Asian women here, they just don’t want the men here messing with the white women.

Australian’s don’t even value their own indigenous people, who they mass murdered to steal the land from. And then they forced the remainder off the fertile lands to live in reservations on the edge of society. While 50 generations of Anglo whites immigrated here, and drew wealth from the land. These whites then regulated immigration of non-whites into the country thus ensuring the protection of their treasured way of life. They set up a white Australia Policy which stood until 1969, which ensured that our population today is near 96% white. Even today they persist to lie about the history & claim the blacks where all dying from small pox when they arrived, and there wasn’t that many of them here.

How the fuk could you or anybody with more than 2 brain cells not see that this country has a racist foundation.

Today if your a New Zealander or an English person you can walk straight into Australia, but if your black or Arab your ass is going to detention on Christmas island and then back to die where you ran away from. The government has even been caught paying an ad agency to go to Sri-Lanka and stop more of them pesky blacks from coming here. And lying on TV saying that Indonesian boat people where throwing their own children overboard.. My people like you have very selective and short memories.

As a black man who is not Aboriginal I have had to endure listening to ignorant white Australians preach to me with ill inform views on Aboriginal people & Muslims, why because I am viewed as an assimilated black. Rather than learning and celebrating the unique and beautiful culture of these peoples who had over 500 language groups, and songs and oral histories that span 50,000 years. They are denigrated and the object of scorn, labelled as drunks, on welfare and an embarrassment. It took the government here 200 years to apologise for killing the natives & stealing their children to assimilated and breed out in white families – Not only this but they repealed the racial discrimination act to put in place a racist policy of “intervention” in aboriginal communities. Claiming child abuse as the motivation, yet there is plenty of child sexual abuse in the white community also. And Australian’s recently ranked the top of the list of people travelling to the Philippians for child prostitution tours. Ooops I guess white paedophiles don’t need to be held under arrest in their homes, have their wealfare payments stripped and be banned from alcohol and pornography. After all its all okay if they go prey on the Asian kids isnt it.

How dare you claim that Australia is not a racist country!

Just because everybody is too scared to be an overt racist these days, doesn’t mean there isnt millions of covert racist just like you. People here are afraid of loosing the privilege that has come with being born white in a white ruled nation, shitting their little pants that some dark perople might end up with power over their way life. That people might decide to be Muslims instead of Christians, or Hindus and Buddhist or whatever else. So you all insist that everybody adopts the “Australia why of life” , and be good little assimilated whites, so you dont feel afraid anymore.
All this while drive around with southern cross & the union jack proud and demand everybody loves the flag or gets out. Well mate I spit on the flag, the union jack hung high when 100s of millions died in India, Africa, America & Australia and to me it is a flag of genocide. Mass murder, rape, theft and cultural assimilation on a scale that make a nazi swathstika a joke!. So you can stick that flag fair up your white ass.

Self deluded people like you make up a large % of the uneducated and ignorant who recently thought that painting up a face TV and obscenely imitating a African American was funny. What else would you expect from a back water hick country who continues to denigrate and destroy own black natives. Whilst advertising itself to the world as racial tolerant & culturally integrated society – what a fuking joke.

I see whites everyday staring at non-whites, I see whites who don’t even know each other compelled to come together to discuss their ignorant views on blacks. Life here consists of going to the FAL footy, getting smashed every weekend on beer at the local pub, and seeking out promiscuous sex. If you dont get sex then you get real drunk and punch someone, while ya mates yell out Aussie, Aussie Oi Oi Oi.

Australia is a racist scum country, and if you are from India or the like and value your own culture and beliefs I would stay away. They don’t want you here all they want is the millions of dollars that Indian’s bring into the universities of Australia. Which supports the system here as a majority of Australian’s don’t seek out tertiary education, that’s why our politicians are running over there to kiss ass. Not because they want you but because they want your money…

As a black man born and raised in Australia I could write novel on this subject..

Saurab in his rants about Aussies being racist states: “Australians are actually Shit of Britishers”

What a hypocrite! What a racist! What a wanker!

Maybe the “White Aussie girl” in the bar just didn’t find you attractive??? Just because you’re foreign, you’re looking for the ‘racist’ card? Get over it.

And maybe you can’t get a job because you can’t spell? LOL

Wow James! I’m aboriginal and I’ve never had any issues. “I see whites everyday staring at non-whites, I see whites who don’t even know each other compelled to come together to discuss their ignorant views on blacks. ” Seriously? You see this? I never have. I think your exagerating gravely. I’ve never experienced such and Im interested to know where you are exactly and you see this DAILY?! lol

Unsaid Racism, thats what we feel in everyday life, they(w) dont say but act.

I migrated to Australia in 1996. Soon after I arrived, we had the One Nation and Pauline Hanson sagor. This discusted me. Every ordinary Australians were telling me that they were coming over to steal their jobs etc. I myself came from New Zealand and I told them I was no different. The reply to that was always………….”you look like us”
Australia is truely racist and the people should accept it and deal with it accordingly.
Not keep their heads in the sand, like they have done for 1/2 century.

It’s very simple. Yes we are mostly a racist country but see it from our side. It is not only us that are racist but most foreigners dont except our way of living and try to change it. I was horrified to see that santa, the easter bunny and many other traditional things has been stopped because some cultures dont agree with it. We shoud not have to become a multi-cultural country if we dont want too. Accept the way we live. Live by our rules, dont mock us and threaten us as this only cause more riots. You all say were racist you are doing the same thing by calling us RACIST WHITE AUSTRALIA. How does this help your cause. I live next door to indians and I also have a good friend who is indian but they live their lives as we do, so there is no problem and they have never been mocked or had any form of racism thrown at them. This is not India or any other part of the world. This is Australia and this is how we live so if you cant adapt and dont agree with our rules and our nation it’s simple dont come here. We have to live as you do in your country so why try and change ours.

We are who we are so if you want a better life and you think were harsh then why do you move here if your country is so bad? If your country is so bad then fix it because you obviously dont like ours or the way we live so go home and deal with your own country instead of coming to ours and trying to change it. If you want racism to stop. Then stop starting it and keeping it going with blogs like this if your calling us racist then your the problem for not helping out yourselves and putting an end to this blog. So hopefully you get a bit of an insight to what where feeling. It’s not all Australians that are the problem it’s our governments letting everyone into our country and handing out citizenships like there a catalogue. Dont Mock us and we wont mock you. Were very straight forward were not backwards were living in the 21st century it’s just you dont like what you see so you dont agree. Be fair Were practicly getting pushed out of our own country or getting thrown to one side to make room for other countrys what do you want us to do, just sit back and watch as our country gets turned upside down for another because they cant deal with there own problems. And you wonder why were so angry?

More Anglo-Saxon Australian racism.
The White Australia Policy still exists with over 1/4 of Immigrants coming from the United Kingdom with Anglo-Saxon Australian backrounds alone.
Many White People moving to Australia because they disliked being a minority in some countries.
The Facebook Club “Fuck Off Were Full” with over 100,000 members and was growing. The club was abolished considering Australia allows racism commited by Anglo-Saxon Australians. I also found this a very high membership for a Facebook Club.
Pauline Hanson who is Anti-Immigration from Non-White Countries seems to be very popular among the Anglo-Saxon Australian community.
Anglo-Saxons Australians telling Non-White Immigrants to integrate into the White Australia way of life.
Quite a few Political Parties are Anti-Immigration in Australia.
A fair number of Immigrants expressing disatisfaction against the Anglo-Saxon Australians who are racist and oppress them and do not welcome them into society. The Lebanese Gangs are a perfect example.
The Australian Flag symbolizes Anglo-Saxon Australian racism and oppression towards other People.
Anglo-Saxon Australians commit the most crime and racism but do the most complaining.
A second Cronulla Beach Riot happened.

I am a polynesian living in London, I am actually a british citizen, yet bizarrely have had a couple of incidents where Australians have been racist towards me. Once threatening me with violence ( I was ready to take them both on if necessary) another time being called a wog. These people are obviously misfits. Didn’t belong in Britain, dont really belong in the Aboriginal’s land. Mother was a prostitute, father a rapist. Poor little white australian misfits. Stealing another people’s land doesn’t make you happy, don’t you see…you have no roots, no stability. No wonder you are alcoholics and thugs

Whilst, I do believe that every country has racism, I find Australians to be quite tolerant. I did meet a lebanese individual who insulted me by referring to me as an african by race because I am dark. This person did not understand South Africa’s history and as a result I am not fond of the African and Dutch South Africans because of politics. I would consider South Africans to be very racist, the African (native) and Dutch South Africans. Well actually all races in South Africa don’t like each other. Many people from other countries bring their racist views with them to Australia, like the Dutch (Afrikaans speaking) South Africans. Being from that country I would know. The Dutch South Africans brought on apartheid in South Africa and suppressed people of colour like myself and as a result we did not have many opportunities. It is such a pity that countries like Australia and New Zealand have these type of people. They (dutch South Africans) are very racist, rude and arrogant and consider other ethnicities, people of colour as scum. When they go to other countries, they don’t give a clear view of South Africa that others assume people of colour in South Africa are that way. Now, that South Africa has an African government, we have racism in reverse, so nothing has changed and we have corruption. I despise both the african and dutch people and they deserve each other. When I tell some Australians that I am from South Africa, they are afraid to get close to me because they assume I don’t like white people. This is not true, as I have many indian friends married to white people from other countries. It is not white people that people of colour in south africa despise, but it is the Dutch South Africans. South Africa had British influence at one stage and they were more tolerant, so the English south africans were more tolerant and the Dutch weren’t. Australia has so many Dutch south afrians who usually reside in Perth and Brisbane, but they are every where now. They are working in most companies in Australia and they usually hold the top ranking positions such as managers and Directors because these are the jobs they had in apartheid, whilst people of colour had menial jobs and they usually would bring their own kind, from receptionists to technicians, etc. The African people in South Africa are no better and are very racist and now tell indians and white south africans to leave. They despise indians because of envy, since indians worked hard in apartheid to become successful and killed many indians in riots in the 1900’s for no apparent reason. Indians were never more privelged than other race groups in South Africa, they worked hard. I personally like Australians, but just like every other country, there will be racist people, but most are tolerant, friendly and accepting.

An understanding of the nature of racism is essential in order to recognize and counter it successfully. Racism is the result of a complex interplay of individual attitudes, social values and institutional practices. It is expressed in the actions of individuals and institutions and is promoted in the ideology of popular culture. It changes its form in response to social change.

Racist attitudes and beliefs are misconceptions about people based on perceived racial lines and are often founded on the fear of difference, including differences in customs, values, religion, physical appearance and ways of living and viewing the world. This includes negative attitudes towards the use of different languages, ‘foreign’ accents or the use of non-standard variations of a dominant community language.

Racist attitudes may be manifested in a number of ways including common expressions of racial prejudice towards and stereotyped assumptions about other cultures as well as more extreme forms of prejudice such as xenophobia. These beliefs are reinforced by prevailing social attitudes towards people who are seen as different and are often a reflection of the values which underpin social relations and institutional practices.

These attitudes and beliefs find expression in racist behaviours, both in the actions of individuals and in the policies and entrenched practices of institutions. Where these behaviours involve unequal power relationships between individuals or groups from different cultural backgrounds, racist actions on the part of members of the dominant culture have the effect of marginalizing those from minority groups.

Examples of racist behaviour include ridicule, racist abuse, property damage, racial harassment, racist propaganda, racial vilification and physical assault. It also includes practices that exploit or exclude members of particular groups from aspects of society. Extreme examples of racist behaviour include ethnic cleansing and genocide.

Racist behaviour may be overt (direct) or covert (indirect) in nature. Overt racial discrimination is the unfair or unequal treatment of a person or a group on racial grounds. An example would be an employer who won’t hire someone on the basis of their cultural or linguistic background. This type of discrimination is typically deliberate. Covert racial discrimination is seemingly equitable on the surface, but in practice disadvantages people from particular groups. For example, a rule that says that all students must not wear anything on their heads could result in discrimination against students whose religion requires the wearing of headwear. Covert racial discrimination can occur even when there is no intention to discriminate.

Institutional racism (or systemic racism) describes forms of racism which are structured into political and social institutions. It occurs when organizations, institutions or governments discriminate, either deliberately or indirectly, against certain groups of people to limit their rights. It regularly and systematically advantages some ethnic and cultural groups and disadvantages and marginalizes others.

I lived in Oz for 6 years and couldnt secure a decent employment, only part-time or temporary jobs. All these positions were later filled with white Aussies. I now live in Asia and just love it! Thank God, Australia is now my history! Aussies dont mix and make friends with migrants, they simply dont accept anyone outside Oz. I found them very narrow-minded and extremely stupid, I am sorry to say this but I am just speaking from my experience. Is it a racist country – Bloody Hell – IT IS! And dont tell me that I didnt adapt their lifestyle/ culture – I did indeed as I married to an Aussie man!

oi! i happen to be aussie, and i better tell you that australia is NOT 100% RACIST.
heck you’re kinda bein racist bringin this up. i live in a neighbourhood that fully supports peoples of other nations, cultures and beiliefs.
and i live in SOUTH AUSTRAILIA. our little hell hole.
for every racist person here there is TEN people who disagree.

oh and i have read alot of people what agree with you. and i have to say
GET TO KNOW US.
alot of americans reckon we often say
fairdinkum! stone the crows, crikey! oioioi! every day! and besides, i have gone to britain, america and for a breif while waiting for a plane, japan. and i have seen alot of things overseas that you reckons only happens here.
get to know us just that little more.

thank you to those very few people who have said “there not THAT bad.”
i am not all very proud of those racist people that i know. i do know that its because of there parents that lived in another generation. and instead of looking at other countries problems, look at your own. then we can fix some of our problems and hopefully we can all just get along.

I do believe that every country has racism, I find Australians to be quite tolerant. I did meet a lebanese individual who insulted me by referring to me as an african by race because I am dark. This person did not understand South Africa’s history and as a result I am not fond of the African and Dutch South Africans because of politics.

Guy you are totally of base and being racist yourself.

it doesnt matter if other cultures choose to integrate into the white society or not. Added to this, can you really expect another race to try to integrate when they get racial slurs and racial comments against them. Would you really love your neighbour when they called your children abominations and they should be sent home

GET REAL DUDE. you are truely stupid in your logic.

Heres the deal. if a some guy from anothe rcountry wants to stick his head in cronulla beach and show his black but for 265 days over a100 years then that is his business. if he was legit in getting into the country with a job or whatever the Aus gov decreed then I dont want to hear anything about not integrating into Oz culture. After all it appears Oz culture is racist as has been demonstrated.

The contact is a person who meets the requirements of the Oz govn on immigration . if you dont like it then please leave the country and take all those who think like you and go out of Oz.

australians need to get university degrees, educatie themselves and exhibit less caveman logic. We are no longer cavemen and it is truely a global human race. if they arent willing to be human, then i can only recommend one of those space flights by virgin for all those systemic racists out there. Except ask virgin that you want a 1 way trip and to open the doors on leaving the earths atmosphere. that is where they belong in a racist utopia where they truely are separate from humanity.

enough said, book that ticket, please all you racist Oz ‘humans’

Hey guy’s if we have to fight against racism, then we have to change our personalities. I meant to say don’t change ur culture and tradition for someother country, but we can atleast respect the local values………A smile on face does make thing’s lot more easy……i don’t understand few migrants (not targetting any one community), why they act very rude to the local people…….I have obsorved personally: an aussie guy said “good morning” to the migrant, but his (migrants) reaction was nothing……..obviously the aussie guy would have felt bad or embarrased…….I m from India too, Saurabh i respect ur emotion that indians r the best…………….but other people r best too…………u know Saurabh why Indians mostly get racists comments………because we like to be in the same community (Indian community), just to make ourself safe from speaking in English…………..half of ous are affraid of speaking in English….for god sake guy’s, Indians does know how to speak in English………..so don’t be self embarrased……….go out and meet other people from other community………….trust me it really feels good……..u won’t beleive i m an Indian guy staying with lebanese people………I m having a blasts mixing with other community………don’t exploit urself by being in the same community…………………….and for god sake don’t prove urself as “samples” by saying “India will FUCK Australia and other countries” behave like human being and tht’s abt it…………by saying these things u guy’s have no right to write anything on racism coz u guy’s r already proving urself racists by saying ” Indians”. I also don’t deny the fact tht few people r hardcore racists…………but instead of reacting aggressive,,,……be assertive,,,,,,,,,,,,and trust me the things would be easy and smooth……. happy new year guy’s…………..please stop this debate guy’s and move ahead with positive approach.

Interesting how my comments are censored and they werent abusive or racist at all. Defensive of australia yes. Seems like some Indian web sites are very particular about the balance of debate on their pages. Has to be weighted in favour of the claims that australia is racist. I found the same thing on a facebook site…….the indian admin kept deleting aussie’s posts even though they were mild mannered and accurate with stats and facts instead of whipped up hype. Hmmm…….fair enough. Cry up each others arses. Ur racists…..u cant acknowledge it. Point the finger at aussies to take the heat off urselves. I dont mean that to ALL indians by the way…….I’m not racist so i recognize that not all Indians are carrying on like some of u lot. Particularly the ones that are living here and assimilating and making true friends here. My distaste is for u lot that are calling all aussies names and labelling us all sorts of things such as trash and convicts etc etc. Ur not very well informed.
To those good indians who are in australia and KNOW ur welcome…..we’re proud to have u here.

Sakshi how do you feel about all the racism issues in australia coming out over this past year and also the way they have been handled by australians and they reactions??
