There is certainly an element of underlying racism around as well as the more overt kind but it's not something that only one race is guilty of.
We probably see a bit more of it amongst Australians because there are more of them about and it's who we spend more time with day to day.
Over time I've been in contact with a varied mix of nationalities and immigrants and can claim that on a day to day comparison I have seen just as much, if not more race 'hate' generated towards the Europeans and Australians, and have myself been called a white c*** on a few occasions, or been treated very disrespectfully because I am a white female.
Have had great experiences with overseas doctors generally but one, an Iraqi doctor, I had no choice but to report because of the dangerous work environment he had created by not communicating with me - would turn his head and flick his hand at me when I spoke.
He was apparently doing similar elsewhere (and he was useless) so got the flick himself in the end.
There are also groups of newcomers to this country preaching hate to their masses via their mosques and over the internet, yet this is rarely spoken about for fear of being branded racist or because that would be tarring everyone with the same brush .
If we can single out one group then we should be able to single out everyone.
