Want it to be better than alright? Then move to Australia. Here in Straya, I have never encountered a racist. Being such a diverse country, race doesn't mean shit to us. And if you find a racist, we'll drop the bastard for ya.

    To get more deeply into that topic I'll give a short lesson in Australian History, and where the racist bogans would come in. Tl;Dr: Australia day is referred to as Invasion Day by a portion of Australia's native owners, the Aborigines, rightfully so. Some of the more violent of them probably have gotten into fights with some of the more bogan, racist white people. But it's uncommon. Both sides seem pretty progressive towards reconciliation. Australia used to belong to the Aboriginal people. The native owners of the land. We white people forcefully took that land from them, took any part white Aborigines away from their families, refused them entering bars. To make matters even worse we didn't acknowledge the prejudice or their original ownership of the land. We were pretty damn racist to them right up to the 1960s, and the government discriminated against them until 1980 or so. This will lead to the Australia day snafoos you're referring to, but I'll loop back around to it. When the gold rush happened in the 1800's, we gained our first large-scale influx of other cultures and races. Especially Asians. Anyway, by now the general public is mostly cool with all races, as for the past few decades there's been a heavy prescence of other cultures in our country. Now when I say heavy, I mean that about 2/5ths of my and other local schools were made of whites. The other 3/5s were made of other cultures. Since 2000 (pretty late I know,) the government has been integrating programs to make it up to the Aboriginal community. Hard task to accomplish when the white people pretty much tried to erraticate their culture. But the Aboriginals actually seem to be really proactive about it. There's a lot of education on Aboriginal cultures in school, which they seem to be on board with. Anyway, both sides now seem to legitimately want to reconcile and become one. However. There are still some Aborigines that mourn the loss of their land and see Australia Day as Invasion Day. Some protest, and may get into fights with some bogan white people. It's uncommon though. And I probably overestimate the 'race wars' in the US because the media seems to want to throw it out of proportion, probably to push a political movement. That's the influence of the media I guess, some things go unnoticed. And some get far too much attention

  • Not that I've seen. There probably are a few bogans, but they get arrested pretty fast for it.

  • America is far more diverse than Australia. It is literally called the melting pot of the world because of all the races and cultures here.

  • Yet apparently you guys don't get along over there. Over here, we're all outcasts, and that's why everyone gets along well over here.

  • The only reason people don't get along is because of our media. It portrays white people as bigots and just causes the race gap to widen. But to be fair most racist people in America are black imo.

  • I noted that towards the end of my history lesson, and it's probably right. The media sure does seem to love stirring controversy don't they?
