What you all don't understand, is that there in no such thing as 'race'. Therefore 'racism' can't possibly exist.

What exists is just plain old discrimination.

But doesn't the spectacularly victimizing, 'racism', sound so much more condemning?

There will always be discrimination.

Even saying, Australians are, 'racist', is in fact, discrimination of the worst variety.

If you could think about this, I am sure it would change minds.

Ah well, I tried.

Carry on :-)

Saying there is racism is racist and discriminatory. That sentence is also racist. Smash it.
" It is mainly among the 'rule-breakers', the chattering left, who."
That is not racist or discriminatory as Leftists are ratbag scum without any doubt. Truth is fact. Smash the Left . Blessed are the pure who don't chatter.

Prejudice and discrimination are found in any situation
of hostility and inequality between racial and ethnic
groups. The two words are often used inter-changeably in
ordinary speech, but in fact they refer to two different,
though related, phenomena: attitudes and behaviour.

Prejudice is an irrational, inflexible, attitude toward
and entire category of people. (The word literally
means "prejudged.") "Prejudice" usually implies negative
feelings - antipathy, hostility, even fear. The key
feature of prejudice is that it is always rooted in
generalisations and so ignores the differences
among individuals. Therefore, someone who is prejudiced
against Arabs will tend to have a negative attitude
toward any individual Arab, in the belief that all Arabs
share the same supposed traits.

Discrimination is unequal treatment of people on the
grounds of their group membership. "Discrimination"
usually implies negative actions. In particular,
discrimination involves the refusal to give members of
one group the opportunities that would be granted to
similarly qualified members of another group.
Discrimination occurs, for example, if an employer
refuses to hire or promote someone solely because of that
person's racial or ethnic background.

No such thing as race? Who says so? Why do they say so?

It is time we brought cultural differences out into the open for intelligent discussion rather than just accept multi-culturalism as Australian. Attitudes that discriminate on the basis of skin or genetics, disability should be out of bounds.

However ideas, attitudes and actions must be seriously up for challenge. Eg. Orthodox Jews who want tread plates near street crossings to synagogues so they do not have to press buttons to change traffic lights on their Sabbath. The use of burka's as a form of dress in Australia. The wearing a cross as a form of jewellery. All consumers paying for Halel or Kosher foods etc. Is a woman's testimony only half the value of a man's? Should all Australians be equally subject to the Laws. Does religious laws apply to Australian society
