you cannot label two entire populations racist without being racist yourself
No, you misread me. I never labelled any "ENTIRE POPULATION". Try reading my posts again.
It means australia and new zealand are geographically distant from europe and the USA. Many people have never been outside their homeland and can not afford to travel.
this leads to many people here having quite a narrow minded opinion on lots of things, and immigration and race are part and parcel of this.

I've linked to another thread regarding recent violence between Aussies and Indians. These types of crimes [Hate/Race] seem to be on the rise down under. Sad really.
Could any of our Aussie members please chime in and give their perspective?
Thanks

I will also add that by posting above links showing racism does not mean India does not have racism. It does has lot of racism problem as well. But it does not contradict that racism is alive and breeding in Australia too.

I said, "many", not "all". (read my posts ...again)
and i am talking about New Zealanders and Ozzies.
and yes, I stand by this opinion. Out of all the Ozzies I know and all the New Zealanders I know, and ALL THE PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE GLOBE I KNOW, all the ones who are least Racist are the ones who have travelled and actually broadened their horizons. This is no coincedence IMHO.
I call a spade a spade my friend, and in my many travels and relocations this is exactly what I have witnessed, first hand.
