    Racism in Australia

    I have to disagree with this to some level. I used to roll-out systems for Centrelink offices across Sydney and the people who came in matched the local demographic.

    Racism in Australia

    You're right, I think the stats I referred to may be a few years old as it doesn't give a year of reference. That being said though, all the countries you listed are Asian so maybe 7% is correct. This will grow in the next decade because India and China are the top two sources of immigration...

    Racism in Australia

    Racism in Australia will improve over time. Much of the racism that is reported happens to 'visible minorities' because they're easy targets. That being said, racism in Australia happens to invisible minorities too. It's just you can't spot them until they open their mouths. Remember that story...
