I think some racism exists in Australia of course. However never to the extent to which this country is portrayed. The sad outcome is that many people who are not white are too afraid to come here. Also I heard some people will not hire people who appear racially different from the other employees for fear of being labelled racist over any incident. So not racism against the person but from fear of being called one. Australians are very sensitive to it and bullies do use it whenever and where ever to get attention.

I think we need to ignore calls of racism unless there is proof positive malice or discrimination has occured.Our focus on this subject should be for real issues that do not seem interesting enough for media. It is becoming counter productive. Without basis it will only create hatred.

France appears to have refused to be drawn into race debate over the French Vogue incident. Maybe we should do likewise. The Political Correct is no different than some form of fundamentalist religion and ignores all true liberal values.
