> [@mister\_nyx](#): > > . . . “absorbing people from all over the world”? Seriously? I guess maybe they don’t teach this stuff in schools, but, um, British colonists are more known for committing genocide than integrating the societies who owned the land that the Empire had decided to colonize. Yeah, we of British heritage have actually wiped out all the Greeks, Italians, Vietnamese, Lebanese, Chinese etc as they have arrived here. We have cardboard cutouts we put in their places and so far no one has noticed. Of course, we get them to teach us how to cook their cuisine first so that we can open restaurants of a variety of faux ethnicities. One of the main reasons we do this is that we can’t stand people who are unable to read for comprehension. You wouldn’t last a moment, **mister nyx** , I’d suggest you stay well away. ---

> [@Orca\_Eyes](#): > > A lot of British people have an obsession with blond hair and blue eyes. They enjoy blond, blue-eyed people so much to the point where dark hair is considered ugly. Yeah, fuckin’ Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Orlando Bloom, Colin Farrell, Rupert Graves, Christian Bale… repulsivos, every one of 'em. Or if you’re talking just about Anglo-Australians here, Russell Crowe (born in NZ but identifies as Australian), Guy Pearce, Eric Bana, and this unpopular Hugh Jackman fellow all seem to be considered bits of all right. > [@](#): > > Ever notice that blond men in Australian movies are always good (in contrast to American movies where blond men are always evil)? This last sentence is totally true. Ever notice how Leo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and Robert Redford are never cast as hero types? WTF is up with that anti-Aryan crap? > [@](#): > > Meanwhile, blond actors such as David Wenham never set foot in the US. An open invitation: David Wenham can set any part of his body he likes in this American. (Sorry. But oh my God. The man is beautiful. Mmmmmm. David Wenham…) Seriously I don’t have a doubt that you’ve experienced racism, but just not done a hot job of enumerating your instances. Now indiginous Australians – those we definitely don’t see nearly often enough over here. ---

I’m Australian; half of my heritage is of the Anglo variety and the other half is eastern European. So I’m white on both counts, though culturally I’m a little from column A and a little from column B. IMHO, Anglos aren’t the problem–southern cross tattoo’d bogans are. They’re extremely ignorant and narrow-minded. Some of the migrant groups from the last thirty years don’t seem particularly interested in integration, either, and the clash of cultures is raising tensions. The post-war immigrants eventually integrated, so maybe time will tell, but I think the mix of white bogans and culturally intolerant migrants living together may drag the process out somewhat. ---

Very well said, I would also add I am of a similar racial background so get the whole intolerance on both sides. ---

If you xl at sport, any sport, the Aussies will worship you no matter the color of your skin, for sport is the real religion of Australians. Also of course if you are a movie star: they adopted Russell Crowe and Mel Gibson, hmm.. forget the latter, for I think he isn’t the flavour of the month anymore :rolleyes: ---

If the worst you have ever been called is a “Leb” or “wog” you are indeed a whinging bastard. It will get far worse when you finish school. ---

Well the OP’s complaint about disrespect for religion would be a whole lot more credible if it wasn’t immediately followed by the OP informing us that s/he doesn’t give “a rat’s behind” about the worldviews of certain other people and (in an informative display of closed mindedness) “never will”. I have no doubt that the OP suffers from ethnic intolerance and that is regrettable. However, the OP doesn’t do him/herself any favours by ranting in a closed minded, intolerant and factually bereft fashion. ---
