Wow, I'm really disappointed to hear that Australia is being touted as a racist country. As an Australian who has lived, not visited but lived, in both the UK and in the USA let me make one thing really clear, there is no more racism here than in either one of those countries (in fact it is significantly less than what I observed in the south of the US). You will get your red neck racists here, you will also find an overwhelming abundance of PC police, but mostly you will simply find normal people who are willing to accept others based on their own individual merit, not the colour of their skin.

Australia is not as racist as people think, in fact its no different than most countries. I have met people from a variety of backgrounds.

Sure, whatever, I knew a guy who got interrogated by US customs just because he flew on Emirates. That never happened to him in Australia.

I bet the people who have labeled Australia racist have never even been to the country. Oh and I am from a minority group and live in Australia, I can tell you that is not racist. If you have problem with Australia, leave.
I knew this one Bangladeshi student who kept complaining that Australia was racist but I kept asking him what happened to him, and he said nothing he just had some kind of "feeling", at the same time he regularly goes on dates with blonde Australian women, what a wanker.

Oh I have been to the UK, and I think the British are some of the most racist people on the Earth, I recall in the late 90's a nail bomb went off in a Bangladeshi section of London, I spent five years in Germany, which almost all Brits label as Nazis or Huns, and found Germans to be quite hospitable in comparison, although Germany has its problems as well.
