Re:Plenty of racism down under (Score 1)

I personally have seen very little racism first hand in Oz. I've heard stories from a few different sources, but nothing close to the scale you see or hear of in other countries (not naming any in particular). Of course the publicity given to the Cronulla Beach "race riots" would suggest otherwise. But then I saw very little of this. I think if strange that I saw no beatings, car burnings, looting etc... Considering I live just down the road from that beach. I've lived in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Cairns and Perth. I've visited Darwin on numerous occasions, and I've been to various places along the Eastern coastline. I've also spent time in western Queensland. And nowhere seems to harbour more racists than the next. I would say as a whole we are a very tolerant. I really don't like that word, as it suggests we merely put up with other races rather than embracing them. Now to shoot down my own point, I am a white male in the upper-middle pay bracket. So I probably don't know what the fk I'm talking about.
