Anyone Want To Come To Australia?

First time i am hearing about Australia being open to blacks.All i read about in the news is about the Aussie Govt always blaming african immigrants for the crime rate in some of the Australian cities.If i recall the former prime minister had always expressed openly her dislike for immigrants.

really? i haven't heard anything about the aussie government blaming african immigrants for the crime rate. i also do not remember jules ever commenting about her dislike for immigrants. we are all immigrants or related to immigrants over here, except of course the indigenous australians.

It's alright, we're only racist towards peeps who don't speak our language or who have different cultural values to us - things we can be properly scared of.

You Americans will be freakin' idolised!

a friend of mine in Melbourne told me there are places in Australia u cant visit if u black and besides Australian universities refuse admiting African and Carribben immigrants even though they are qualified and they can afford it.frm wat i hve head and d little hve seen the Australian general public have dislike towards immigrants of dark skin and maybe this could explain d tension between white aussies and d aborigines.

Nah dude. It's not that serious.

  • "there are places in Australia u cant visit if u black" - not even remotely true.
  • I've known a bunch of African people studying at unis.
  • "Australian general public have dislike towards immigrants of dark skin" - there'd be your usual racist dickheads who have a "general dislike", but you find those in any country - and they're not the norm.
  • "could explain d tension between white aussies and d aborigines." - the so called 'tension' also only exists for redneck racist bogans. Aboriginal people in Australia are not the equivalent of Black Americans in the US - you need to understand that, and that you can't draw comparisons. The majority of Aboriginal people still live in remote communities, speak different languages, have vastly different cultural norms and find it difficult to integrate into white Australian society. Many have problems with alcohol - it's a huge, huge issue. So for many Australian towns where Aboriginal people co-exist with white people, the "face" of the Aboriginal community is public drunkenness, which sometimes leads to violence.*** And that leads to sweeping generalisations and negativity towards Aboriginal people as a whole. Which is grossly unfair to the wider community. And let me tell you, I've been immersed in Aboriginal culture, and they are a loving, generous, kind people - even the drunks in the park.
  • I know in Melbourne lately there has been a series of violent crimes committed by gangs of Sudanese refugees - and it has some people on guard. But there's also violence happening by Australian gangs, and people are just as much on guard about that. Violence is real and it's scary, yo.


*** For the record, I have never ever heard of an instance where an Aboriginal person was violent toward a white person - it's in house stuff.

You show me your craziest Australian politician and I will show you the average southern Tea Party member. No one does crazy like 'Murica.
