Is Australia racist?

So two people make an Aboriginal joke and the whole country is racist?

It wasn't a joke. Yes in all the time I spent in Aus I only spoke to one person and he was a racist. Grow up.
I was there for a while and here are my observations:
The English, Irish, Scots, Welsh get on famously - none of the petty-minded arguments that that separate us here. All there for various reasons, but a shared sense of humour, destiny and an appetite for drink helps to unite them.

Very few of the people I know down-under socialise with Aussies outside work - 'cos in their view, "they are throw-backs." The casual racism is everywhere and a few years ago they were still televising "Love thy neighbour". They probably still are. I like aus, but it's like Oldham with sunshine.

Pretty sad of the people you knew to travel half way round the world and only stick with UK citizens eh? And Pakistanis, West Indians and the like get slated for not integrating back home?

Prime Minister Julia Gillard - Australia

Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks..


Separately, Gillard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying she supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote:

'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT.. Take It Or Leave It.
I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians. '

'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom'

'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language!'

'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact. Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.'

'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.'

'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE. We will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But, once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.'
'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU chose.'

This is true. Australia is 10-15 years behind the UK in terms of technology, culture, fashion etc etc. The cities are so provincial and the people are backward. They used to have the weather to fall back on.......but....
 
Australia is incredibly racist - they committed widescale genocide against the native australians and were even taking the children off them (to re-educate them into 'white ways' by fostering them into white families and institutions up until the early 1960's.
Their border policies and imigration laws have been white christian orientated for decades. . . and the native aussies are still kept on the bottom of the ladder - excluded from white society and with a life expectancy more than 30 years lower than for white aussies.

They are lovely people though . . just like the white south africans were throughout apartheid. Nice to us but not so nice to none whites.

Australia is a beautiful country blessed with a wealth of natural resources - all stolen from the native people who remain excluded from the benefits and on the bottom rung of their enforced society.
