Does Fosters cause severe memory loss?

It's funny how everyone and their mangy mutt is so shocked about the racist rioting in Australia this week: "What, Australia racist? No, Australia isn't racist." As one commenter said, "we need to look at the root causes" (heh!) for why thousands of white youths rampaged around Sydney trying to bash Lebs and Meds. LGFers, like Michael Howard and those goons they interviewed on Sky News last night, either haven't got a clue about Australian history or they've been in a lager-induced coma for the last fourty years.

Doesn't anyone remember the Aborigines?

Anti-Greek riots and the anti-Italian shit-stirring in the 50s?

What about Romper Stomper?

Pauline Hanson?

And though less organized, you'll find plenty of anti-Semitism, anti-Pom sentiment (though is that really racism?), and anti-Polynesian feeling in Australia. The fact of the matter is: Australia has a long and dishonorable history of racism, but you're never going to get white Australians to admit that on camera. And LGFers are only ever going to believe what white Australians say...

BF: there's a whole world between saying 'all Australians are racist' (which they aren't) and saying 'no Australians are racists' (which they aren't either.

I'm sure you'd agree that the truth lies somewhere in between.

The question is: just how much more prevalent is racism in Australia than in comparable societies? Is there such a thing as a thread of racist sentiment throughout Australian culture?
