Facebook racist drama linked to Melbourne's top schools

She started off alright, then turned into a Kevin Rudd imitator/question dodger/usual politician

Agree with you in most respects.

Totally off-topic, but I often wonder how she manages to reconcile being an out lesbian with her officially espousing the Labor "party line" against gay marriage?

Hardly something that's news worthy...

I go to a private catholic school (on the cheaper side) and we got some serious racial issues. We only have 2 asians and they are the butt of most jokes, one plays piano all day by himself whilst the other tries his hardest to integrate.

Two? My school is at least 50% asian, hardly any racist issues (at least that i know of) because we all grew up together in this very mixed area.

Overall, Australia isnt racist, just a minority of simple minded dickheads that are.

Australia is definitely racist in my opinion.
On the outside it seems quite welcoming with its "love" for diversity but if you look closely, "higher ups" of the country are basically all anglo-saxon.

Former Prime Minister Steve Bracks is of Lebanese Descent.
Former Lord Mayor John So is from Hong Kong.

I'm not sure how 'objective' this thread is, considering a lot of us are of ethnic backgrounds, and racism is a very sensitive topic to us.

I don't think the group is aimed at all ethnics, just like there are dickhead Australians who are unreasonably racist to everyone, there's also the dickhead ethnics who are fuck-off loud and obnoxious in public places [there are some in every race]. And to those people, I'm going to side with 'Fuck off, we're full'.

Massive generalizations has been made by both sides here. Some people generalized ethnics, but that does not mean we generalize their intentions.

Hold on, only targeting the obnoxious ethnics rather than targeting obnoxious people of all races is still racism. That's no justification for the group.
