Sorry the topic has deviated to name calling. I shall close this thread.

What is your view on racism in Australia?

High, Medium, Low?

ShutterBug SG

Wherever the livelihood of the people of any country is threatened, racism will result.

It's natual.

Gazelle SG

We are aware that racism exist in Australia, but is it high medium or low? From what I was told, racism problem in Australia is one of the highest among developed countries. Is that true?

And how do you deal with the situation when someone insulted you in the public. Do you just look away and pretend you dont hear him or do you defend yourself by getting into some kind of fight or some agressive verbal exchange?

aussie is very racist lor..thats wat my cher told me..
cause she went there n there were many racist incidents...a example she gave us was that my cher n the husband was hailing for the bus but they werent at the bus stop and they are running towards it..then the bus driver saw lor..after ppl who board the bus boarded..then the bus driver purposely drive slowly so that my cher have to run more..but in the end the bus just drove off..waste my chers running effort. Evil or Very Mad

dragg SG

every country has racism.

i am sure not all aussies are racist.

fymk SG

Alot of bus drivers now also have pakistanis , asians etc....sure the bus driver ang moh or not?

alexkusu SG

Medium.

But I guess it differs from states.

fymk SG

Well I was also told by my Singaporean Indian friend that companies in Singapore discriminate against her. So Gazelle , what's your purpose now? Attacking a country which won't take you in? Wink

Also ...I always remember Singaporean sales girl like to serve ang moh first. Here in Australia they serve asians first ....that's in Tiffany and Co, LV etc.

It is only usually the uneducated trash who are racist and worse - easily forgiveable but ...own kind discriminating against own like the "get out of elite uncaring face"girl, that one is unforgiveable.

Hogzilla SG

Dun understand TS’s purpose of starting this thread.

fymk SG

I know why . He loves targetting Ged and Ged is in Australia. Twisted Evil

So Australia is a natural target for Mr Sour Grapes Smile .

I've experienced my own share of racism in this country.

Before we talk about other people's houses, we might want to take a look at our own house and get it cleaned up first.

coffeeortea SG

well.. IMO, there is a form of racism in any country in this world, just that it is of higher practice in certain parts of australia.. it makes me really uneasy sometimes. cheers

spencer99 SG

I had been to many different countries... the most amount of racism that i had experienced is Australia... the 2nd is republic of Ireland....

ditzy SG

fymk, I would rather that you dont participate in this thread because we knows that you are not capable to having a discussion on the "dark side" of australia

Thank you for taking time to read this thread, merry x'mas

I heard of racist incident in Australia but compared to Indonesia, it is still okay in the sense those Australian never physically abused Asian immigrants unlike

Indonesia during the 1998 MAy riots.

Gazelle SG

How would you explain the Cronulla beach incident?

sunniban SG

Why worry about whether Oz has a problem with racism, when we have similar issues at home? I’d say it’s no more racist than Singapore.

iveco SG

Stop taunting Rhonda and Ged, will ya?

We've had enough of this nonsense.

As for which country is more racist, I think we only need to look north of the causeway for the answer.
