hi,

came to know that, racism is rapidly raising in australia, several cases in this month.

if this is happening then really need to think many times whether migrate or not? i want to know that is this is happening all over australia?

http://in.news.yahoo.com/20/20090527...-life-aft.html

its an impression on every migrant that, australia is truly multi cultural society and everyone is treated same despite of colour and ethnic differences but this kind of incidence is really worring.

at last i want to request all forumers living in townsville to pls. tell me if any incidence like this is happening or happened in townsville yet?

regards
love

Racism happens in almost every country, Australia or indeed the UK is no different from anywhere else.

Are you really naive enough to think crime doesn't happen here?

"Racism is rapidly rising in Australia"?

yep, its happening mostly in western countries from originals to the migrants.

i also know crime is happening everywhere and in australia too, but its good if it limits to robbery, loot and minor crimes but trying to kill anyone or making killing attckcs on some kind of people like only migrants is differnet matter. as per my best knowledge a crime and racism is totally differnet things.

thanks for the link, now came to know that racism is an old game playing in australia, it was played by seniors earlier and now juniors are taking over the game.

hope the goverment will take actions soon or they should stop the migration programme to let the migrants be dishonoured or killed.

will send some other links here later that will prove increase of racism in this month.

If you search this forum, you will find plenty of threads discussing the same. As Perksy pointed out, it happens everywhere. I have travelled around the world and to be honest I can not recollect any incident that I can call "Racist", I rather feel more safe abroad. I believe Its probably more of "Being at the wrong place at the wrong time".

I'm from India and we have incidents where often a guy from North gets discriminated in the South and Vice Versa. If things are bad at home, I can not complain about my neighbor.

Jave non-Indians been attacked and assaulted in India by Indians? If so is that Indian racism?

ronam, as i mentioned my views earlier crime and racism is different. criminals r not looking specific people while doing criem while a racist doing. u r correct that people r more safe abroad then india, totally agreed. thats why surprising if it happens in country like australia. there should be differnce between india and australia i think.

i know very well how racism is happend in india, its thousand time more then any country and australia totally agreed, thats why india is counted as a third world country no wonder if someone calls like that. we cant hide truth. but as i said earlier there should be difference between india and australia.

lovetv

amazulu, india is third world country, is australia or any othre western country too?

the great indians are not letting leave its own countrymen and doing racism as ronam said above then what about non-indians?

Amazulu

Fair enough. Your point about expecting more from Australia than India is valid.

Sorry to say racism is going to be around alot longer than you or I. Maybe you need to do some further research into racism, migration, and most certainly Australia

You are correct .. We should be expecting more from Australia than any "Third" world country. But the fact is, Australia is already a much safer place. It will be like expecting a lot. I feel these are just freak incidents and does not make Australia a dangerous place (or something to be afraid of).

Atleast a guy from Perth is not bashed up in NSW, "Simply" because he is from WA.

well as u compared australia and africa and other countries, actually my expectation is little bit high from australia. as i have searched a lot from internet, it is my impression that australia and australians are welcoming people and infact australians are more friendly then any other countries. so comparing aus and africa is useless i think.

i know very well that one from every five australian is overseas born person thats why i am shocked to know that. as u can see my nickname which i take after knowing the above, i just fall in love with the city townsville and really excited to move there. but little bit feared now after reading u r link.

as per me, its very bad practice to attack someone only due to colour, language, ethnic differences thats what all i tried and want to tell now and earlier posts.

yep ronam, it feels shameful sometimes when this kind of state level racism is happened in india. Its everyday practice for indians to do racism to other state people specifically in south and north india.
