Indyvidual,

Racism in Australia has existed against various ethnic
or minority groups since British colonisation.

Examples can be found throughout Australia's history -
from Indigenous people, to African, Asian, Pacific Islander,
Middle-Eastern, and so on.

The Racial Discrimination Act - 1975 (RDA) makes it
unlawful to discriminate against a person because of his
or her race, colour, descent, religion, national or etnic
origin or immigrant status. It also makes racial hatred
unlawful..

Yet many people today still experience racist attacks
from ignorant people. Old habits die hard.

However if you're talking about individual behaviour
of some people that is inappropriate, rude, et cetera,
then it should be called out and should not be
described as racist. In other words things should
be taken in context and judged within that context.

Indyvidual- I think the answer to your question is yes "the group is racist". But don't expect Foxy and Paul1405 to compromise their own individual biases.

I just love it when Paul and I rightly call out
someone on their BS - we're made out to be the bad guys.

Foxy,
You really have no clue do you ? Do you know what the Aborigines, Islanders & Papuans think of each other ?
As I stated earlier, there are way more racists among the non-Caucasians ! And, on top of being quite racist, a huge number are also highly hypocritical. In fact they're everything & more they accuse the Caucasians to be.
It's people like you who foster the lie so many real indigenous are now forced to live !

Hi Foxy,

If a person on learning another had Aboriginal heritage and living in a city, then referred to that person as a "concrete jungle bunny", would that person be considered a RACISTS? What do you think Indy?
