The real difference between Australia and the countries the author mentions is that our media plays up the racist angle for all its worth. The job seekers the author interviews is reacting to that media image, not the reality.
This is particularly so for students from Singapore, Malaysia and China where the press is tightly controlled. They may comprehend that the press here is much freer than in their own countries, but may not realise there is no state direction of any kind, not even to the point of the media making some effort to reflect reality.
To make matters worse they have probably only seen the items chosen by their own media, who are only too happy to portray Australians as racist dogs. No wonder they think we are all axe murdering bigots.
The reality is that compared to places like Malaysia, Singapore and China, in particular, occasional incidents aside, Australia is a haven of tolerence.
It is a pity that the media obscures reality.

what happened to the racism against Indians in Victoria? It is impossible to embarass the idiotic left media who report racism and then ignore facts when they come out. One Indian claimed a racist attack while lighting his car up for an insurance claim. Other Indians were killed by Indians in love triangles. Each time the press would froth at the mouth wanting to find a white Supremacist to confirm their prejudices . Of course the spotless Indian media was only to happy to join with our national broadcasters and others in promoting its little theories. India itself is probably the most racist nation on earth.

India shoots illegal immigrants trying to get in - for God only knows what reason they want to live there.

India is a caste system culture, this means it is INHERENTLY racist.

Malaysian Govt. uses vigilantes (yes, they pay them) to round up illegals.

Singapore Prime Minister said they should whip illegals upon being caught and sent home.

We give out money for nothing, accept you without papers. We are a laughing stock because we are NOT racist!

So ironic.

This writer needs to be exposed to how South Africans treat illegal Zimbabweans....they rounded them up and burnt them alive just last year because they thought they were taking their jobs.

Man...how insane are some westerners, so self-hating.

We are the envy of the world for our justice and tolerance.

Of course Asians think we're racist, they are always looking for it because thats how they are.

Think about it. And in the process of thinking Morgan, grow up. Honestly, ALL the evidence points to the fact that white, Anglo nations are the least racist cultures.

This is why people want to live here. If we were so bad they would not flee their tribal and racist dumps to live in western Anglo Centrelink Paradise.

And those Indian students for example were being bashed in Sydney by Lebanese Muslims.

This writer is a fool for taking them at their words. Trust me, the visa restrictions were the ONLY reason.

They all come from cultures where people are regularly murdered for bein different to the main 'clan'. Yes folks, you think the KKK is bad, they have nothing on non-western culture in general.

Racial restrictions on jobs in ALL non - western countries.

Religous discrimination is rife - and NO, not just in the rural parts where the hicks live.

Their cultures are HICK cultures.

They are children. We need colonialism again. We need to force these cultures into western values of tolerance because now they are annoying us, like Muslim terrorists.

The Governments are going to risk everything just to keep the wheels turning. The plan is to mix us all up, and breed a whole new race of people in Australia, and then the problem of racism ( in time ) is solved.

TTM

I have a nephew who was discriminated against by the predominance of Asians in a select school in Sydney which he could no longer endure so had no choice but to leave and joined a general public school where he became school captain. They didn't like this white guy in competition with them. Interesting times ahead.
