Country Gal, I can speak and write in your only language, have a professional job, lots of friends from different cultures, travelled to few places in the world but this ain't enough for you huh?

Wow, you must be so worldly!

Relying on your Aunt for your own credibility is a bit lazy don't you think?

And while you think all that waffle you about what racism is somehow informative and deep, take it from me Gal, its just so shallow and amature its not worth pulling apart to reveal that its simply crap. Do some real research about racism, read a book, take a cours, puleeze

Amel there is nothing wrong with thinking you are superior - our thoughts should be our own.

The problem is attitude and that isn't limited to Aussies. I am married to a Lebanese and I myself was born in Spain and from my experience everybody from every culture has an attitude in relation to everybody else.

Racism isn't limited to Aussies. Everybody has an attitude about everybody else because we are all different and depending on upbringing, exposure, experience and environment that attitude can be very destructive.

Amel,

You say: “It seems as though some people can't stand the fact that they have racist attitudes.Some wonder why some immigrants don't want any kind of association with them.”

What on earth is that supposed to mean?

Who are the “some people”? Who has adjudged these people to have racist attitudes?

Leigh,

Its like when we're unemployed, we're called lazy; when white Australians are unemployed it's called a "depression".

Rainer. I think that the regularly lazy unemployed Australian people are just as lazy as the regularly lazy unemployed Aboriginal people.

Who are these people that see the difference that you talk of.

Ranier,

That was apropos of nothing, surely? I can’t make the connection between the question I asked Amel, and your post.

But, in relation to your comment, I have to say that you seem to make more distinctions between you blackfellas and we whitefellas than I do. A bludger is a bludger in my book, irrespective of colour.

As I said before, I seem to be more interested in equality for blackfellas than you do. If you can find anywhere that I have said that blackfellas should not be treated the same as whitefellas, please point it out to me.
