What is sad here is that nobody has written anything very intelligent.

Because I have delusions of personal well-consideredness and in the hope that someone will write something intelligent and considered at some point. Most of the time while on line I just shut-up, but this issue interests me and while I try to make it simplistic and a-historical like most people here, I know it should be treated better.

Penekiko is right. No one knows how to discuss racism rigorously here and indeed, its an intellectually retarded trait of Australian debate.
Yawn...

Waiting for a bossy opinion as usual…..

Well, I have a hint: a meaning of “racism” in Australia is more close to features described with “Nazism” in Europe and the US.

Racism has many forms, or perhaps better described as nepotism and discrimination based on religion or race. Any group, whether they be high profile retailing identities who masquerade as the Messiah of the people by calling for the re-introduction of a money losing customer card, purely to gain support for re-election to a board, where previously he had channeled buyers into his own supplier network undoubtedly populated heavily with his own ethnic/religious lackeys, or whether its the Italian concreter who only used his own race as suppliers, laborers, and other sub contractors. Or whoEVER it may be, its still the same grubby racism in embryonic form.

The main problem with people carrying on this way is that they seem to regard the wider Australian populace as being BOTH blind AND stupid. Well, I for one am not. I see it and note it.
Anyone wondering why his /her race or religion gets singled out for public condemnation need go no further than this type of activity to find out WHY.
