as a person that has traveled around the world, i will say australia is in fact racist. with a simple comparison between nz and australia. yes they killed off many of the aborigines. walk around sydney, and see how many aborigines you see. then walk around auckland and see how many maori u see.


I'll stop you there big fella. A couple of things:
1) Who's "they"? I didn't kill off any (let alone many) of the Aborigines, nor did anyone I know.
they=white australians
2) How exactly does the number of Aborigines hanging out at Town Hall steps give you an insight into the attitudes of Australian's?
how bout the fact that white australians killed most of them off and ran the remaining few into the outback.

australians openly say they hate lebanese people. i mean, u dont even hear that kinda stuff in usa. but you do in denmark. australians are so bad with their racism, they even turn their exchange students into racists. i was talking to a student from spain in australia and he was telling me about how much he hated lebanese.


Again, a couple of things:
1) I don't openly say I hate Lebanese people. In fact, I don't even hate them in private.
2) So NOBODY in the USA has a problem with Lebanese people? Arab-speaking races in the United States are not really everyone's favourite nowdays.
3) Your assumption that this Spanish student "became racist" because he was around Australians doesn't say much about him does it?
he may have been a racist to begin with, but the fact he was bold enough to say that to a complete stranger shows australia's tolerance of racism

other comparisons
compared to usa, australia is more racist
to sweden, australia is more racist
to france, australia is more racist
to uk, australia is more racist
to finland, australia is more racist
to norway, australia is more racist
to canada, australia is more racist
to usa, australia is more racist (and thats bad when youre more racist than usa).

the good news is, australia isnt the worst. there are countries that are more racist. just to name a few.
japan, malaysia, indonesia.


Finally, some reliable statistical data backed up by impeccable sources! Well I guess I'm wrong, we're all a bunch of dirty racists!

admiting it is the first step

as far as im concerned, australia is bad news altogether. from their racism, to their invasion of iraq. i cant think of too many good things about them.


Amazing then that you travelled here.

yes i know. what a waste of money.

MG1962 said it: Fortunately the rest of the world doesn't seem to agree with your summation of Australia.

the rest of the world just thinks australia is one big jungle with crocidile hunters and coalas running around. australia's 2 claims to fame. crocidile dundee and steve irwin.

and if you count mel gibson then theres the proof that australians are in fact racist.
