I know Racism exists every where in the world to some degree. What I really want to know is - obvious racism. For example,
Have any one of you experienced some thugs making derogatory remarks or jesture towards you in public place like in trains etc.
Do you feel unwelcome in Australia because your neighbor is pain in the ass?
What is your goal here? Answer is either yes or no.... but what difference does it make for you? Even if Australia comes out be racist, would it change your decision to live in Australia?

I don't really see this thread going anywhere, except for few people exchanging heated comments with each other. Fairly pointless and somewhat irresponsible.

You're just a troublemaker, aren't you ?

Oh, okay, let's play along.


Yes, loads of racism by thugs making derogatory remarks particularly towards people of Indian descent. Not S.E asians or Pakistanis or Bangladeshis or Sri Lankans or Afghanis, just Indians.


There. Happy now ????
