How much of an anti pom sentiment is there in OZ?
Its one thing that concerns me.

Not that much. Many Aussies are racist towards aboriginals and Asians. How do I know this? I'm Australian, and recognised this happening in others from an early age......particularly in people of my parents' age!!!

Thankfully things are slowly changing.
