<div style="text-align: justify;">In one particular way, moving to Melbourne from Perth was more confronting than moving to Perth from Serbia. Moving to Perth, I knew that I would be living in a more socially progressive environment, and I was right right. Moving to Melbourne, I expected the same - Melbourne being the "cultural capital" and all, I thought it was going to be leftier-than-left (or certainly more so than Perth) - but was quite disappointed.
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Perth's main problem is racism towards indigenous people, which is quite a big issue, but at least one that people are acutely aware of. Whereas in Melbourne, <b>racism towards "Asians" (anyone who vaguely looks like they're from somewhere to the east of Europe, the west of America and to the general north of Australia) is quite shocking</b>, and I have not once heard ANYONE bring up the topic - apart from when they're actually <i>being</i> racist.
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">It's nothing that you notice straight away, but the more you interact with the locals, to more <b>you notice a persistent, casual racism that seems to have become completely acceptable. The saddest thing is that I've heard it from people who I would not have expected it from - mostly Uni of Melbourne students</b> - who have, in a more general sense, turned out to be quite a bit more right-of-centre than I thought they would. I suppose that points to my own personal sin of assuming that tertiary education makes you more socially progressive, by osmosis if nothing else.
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Examples of the stuff that I've heard from people:
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">"The Peel is really Asian."
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><b>"God, I'm driving like an Asian."</b>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">"There's so many Asians at uni, they're all doing Medicine or Commerce, and they can't even speak English."
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">The most offensive thing is that these gems get thrown around quite casually - obviously having been said so many times that they've lost any shock effect they might have carried. <b>I got into a discussion with an American guy about how Australians are generally un-PC, and yes, while Americans tend to take political correctness to its extreme, he had an excellent point.

But I suppose it that would be unastrayan.
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">And, of course, there's the<b> brilliant Today Tonight slash 60 Minutes slash A Current Affair</b>, with segments like "<font size="5"><b>Asian immigration rates reach European immigrations rates: what can be done to stem the flow".

<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">And I cannot for the life of me figure out why gay guys (not just in Melbourne, but in most places) tend to be so persistently racist. In my book, if you've felt prejudice on your own skin, that gives you a responsibility to not perpetuate disparaging stereotypes, <i>because you know what that feels like.</i>

Well spit! No need to be jealous. China is proud of you.

Perhaps you can stop all the American talkshows talking about frugal living, debt reduction and 401k plans.

Of course, you can't, there are too many channels in USa showing the same programmes. :biggrin:

The most important thing to know about driving in Melbourne is the "hook turn". :wink:

If this happened in America there would be lawsuits.

But in Arsetralia you get this

In America, everything involves lawsuits :biggrin:

Over in Australia, we prefer to shame the offenders. There are more tolerance here - not sure if it is a good thing.

Indeed, lawsuits are more fun, as the PAP Singapore has found out. But still after lawsuits, KKK still exists, so does the bikie gangs and southern states.

If I call Obama a nigger and right away, I get lawsuit.
I call USA women bitches, there is nothing wrong. USA is male chauvinist - that, American boy, is call sexism.

Lawsuits? Ptui!

Here's an idea. Go home or learn to drive.

When we were younger we would play a game. Everytime we pissed a wanker chink off it was ten points.

I won.

Isn't that why you are paid by the PAP???? See??? Its from the horses own mouth. But yeah. You are right. It would scare those Sinkees without any lumpar and they are better off rotting in Sinkeeland along with you. Seems like its a 24/7 job for you. It seems that you don't have any girlffriend, no life besides cutting and posting all these rubbish here. So I'm right. you are a loser cockroach. :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
