There it is right there

I can't imagine that there still isn't racism going on. Australia is in some ways similar to the US as it was conquered by Imperial England who told the native population that they don't count as a people or a culture. Then with different classes and races coming in later, I can't imagine that everyone just got along depending on how they "interact with one another". True equal rights is a modern ideal, and while racism has lessened in modern societies, it has yet to be completely obliterated.

Exactly. The "white" Australian has no reason to be racist towards anyone, because they are not native themselves. I've not been to Australia, but I plan to bring my mom there, after I'm out of school and working for a while (Mom's always wanted to visit Australia). Be that as it may, I've never understood white racism, because white people are always somewhere they shouldn't be trying to take over and oppressing the shit out of the native populace. Sixteen years later, when someone tries to move in, we're like, "They ain't like us. Bugger 'em." That's total hypocrisy.

What Imperial England hath conquered it so to hath destroyed. Those are my words. If you look at any nation that England conquered, the residuals coming from that land are midden. You see a total raped of landscape and wildlife, and a total disregard for both. You see a bottomed out native indigenous people (in the case of the Irish, they are pulling themselves back up). It's gone and inspired China, which was a stupid thing to do, because China may go after Australia. That would suck.

Those were the days...

No, as patriotic as I am, I don't condone what my ancestors did.

These attacks sound pretty brutal but then, I don't think it out rules any life in Australia for Indian students. There are racists everywhere. Hell, I must hear a bad Indian impression or a "Paki joke" four or five times a week minimum.

This is awful.
