Ask An Aussie Anything

Why is Australia racist?

In all honesty it's easier to blame others for problems or things we don't know
I myself don't try to be a a major dik head but I can't deny that there is a racist culture here in Australia

We do have a very diverse culture thou, look at Melbourne or Brisbane

But yeah, every country has its fair share of racists. We are just more well known for them 🙁
It's not something I am proud of when I say I am an aussie

...or a human for that matter

Is not a mainstream thing but I tell it to little kids aswell

So I ask a question about why a certain group of Australians exhibit certain behaviour and I get pages of accusations of making generalizations and get told I deserve physical abuse for daring to suggest anything negative about any Australian, meanwhile xyz makes an actual sweeping generalization and he gets a valid response? 😐

Do you, personally, know the words to your national anthem?

I guess the stupid questions from the village idiot here never change.

light red and dark green colour blind

the rods and cons in my eyes are inhibited by a natural forming gel that is slowly receding
so at the moment i can only see anything darker then crimson red
or lighter then hunter green

He wasn't really though, in my initial post I used the exact same tone. It wasn't until I kept being told I was hating on all Australians even though I explained how I wasn't at length and several times throughout the thread that I got annoyed. But I guess hypocrites hate having their hypocrisy pointed out to them, so I'll end it right here.

Just ask the question Trump style. If they pity you, they'll give you a straight answer, if they think it's a valid question, they'll give you a straight answer.

Jeez.
