Still think Australia is racist, you do not ever hear of the Australian government creating an order to forbid restaurants from serving "blacks" and "Mongolians", this happened during the most high profile international event on Earth, the Summer Olympics in Beijing.
I would say Google Russia and Racism, Zimbabwe and Racism, Britain and Racism, France and Racism, Dubai and Racism, Israel and Racism, Brazil and Racism, Argentina and Racism, Japan and Racism, of course USA and Racism and a few other countries and you will hear far worse stories of bigotry than in Australia. Unlike the other countries Australia with the exception of the US Oz is multicultural. That little Cronulla fracas three years ago was nothing compared to Los Angeles 1992 and what happened in Paris in 2005.
Considering what happened in Beijing, I ewc I would take what that Chinese girl told you with a grain of salt, a big one. Its a fact of life that not everyone is going to get along.
Well, no one is comparing Australia with, say, Zimbabwe, or even China. We are comparing it with the US, and perhaps Canada. I've had no problems as a south asian in the US, living in the Northeast. None at all. From what a couple people told me, its much worse in Australia. That's what I was asking, especially when I read things like this. I don't care what people say, but physical danger is another thing.
