It's pretty easy to agitate someone with stupidity. I just followed your lead.
Wait...what!? That never happened....
This is why I avoid public transport. Unless it's rush hour, you're probably going to run into mouthy bogans.
I just found out a few weeks back that in a park near where I live (in Townsville) there is a circular pattern in the grass that is actually the remains of a crater from a japanese bomb.
thought it was pretty cool.

Only just read about this. Thread title should be changed to mention Australia but I guess most people easily guessed. So happy I am not living in that country anymore. Had to laugh when the racist idiot claimed Japan bombed Adelaide though.

Nobody is saying Australia is a hell-hole of human rights violations(Apart from the U.N.). Just that since you guys are so closed off from the world and...ugh, because of the past; your society is like cement. Yes everywhere is filled with psychos and less than stellar human beings. But when one group utterly dominates another, there is very little that escapes or can be challenged boldly. The reason you're feeling insulted is because you people don't talk about this to begin with. "Why is he being so mean to us? he doesn't even live here! Let us deal with our problem by ourselves!". Except your society isn't. Americans get shit all the time for what goes on there *because* of its people exposing it. Just the simple fact that so many Australians admit that there's a racism/privilege problem and then so many turn around and say that they're not racist boggles the mind. So where is this imaginary systemic racism coming from? A lot of people talk maaaaaad shit about injustices and unscrupulous behaviour. But very few actually stand up and actually try and get things changed if it means going against "their own". And Australia is largely a singular country. It's the only true British colony that flourished and survived as it was intended.
And by the way.
Is actually something that's insulting and teetering on the edge of getting personal.
It wasn't at all personal, because people spew that crap in every single "Australia is racist" thread, but the fact that you went through my post history is more than a little bit creepy. I'm sorry if I offended though.
As for "so many Australians admit that there's a racism/privilege problem and then so many turn around and say that they're not racist", what's not to understand? We have a 80 person strong community of 20 - 35ish Australian gamers who mainly live in the cities on this forum, we clearly don't make up a round portion of the Australian community. Its really not that crazy to recognise that there is a problem, particularly in regional Australia, without being racist ourselves. The UN thing was to do with our treatment of indigenous Australians, which has been appalling but really has no easy solutions. Again, the outside perspective isn't doing you any favours.
No. What is so hard to understand that Japan is similar to Australia in its make-up? Japanese people are people. Which means that they include the whole spectrum of problems too. The similarity between the two countries is simply their homogeneity which causes people to say or do things without intending to be dismissive or hurtful and simply have a hard time seeing what problems there are. I think people are getting hung up on the "white" part as being an insult. It's not. A country doesn't have to be one thing or another and nobody(At-least I) am not saying that it should be a brown country by any means or anything of the sort.
Having lived in both countries this is the most ridiculous and hilarious notion I've ever heard. I can see where you're coming from but you are so out of your personal understanding here. Japan is ridiculously homogeneous. Australia is certainly not. We have the largest Italian and Greek communities outside their own countries. If you want to lump all white people together that's your choice but every country has a distinct culture and many of those are represented here.
White people doing the maths.

Lol, I love you guys.

Well you're making some pretty sweeping generalisations based on things you really don't have much direct knowledge of. It's kind of frustrating from our perspective (you know people who have actually lived here our whole lives here and know what's it's really like) to see people making assumptions which aren't true.

Easy to say. Hard to actually do.
Nah, it's pretty easy to do.
So, say the offender is drunk and/or on meth and/or has mates with him... you don't think it's okay for self-preservation to kick in? In those situations, the majority of people are thinking of their own safety than anything else. And it's a good thing that someone was filming it, because that's how arrests are made (and GAF threads are created).
If they're okay with being part of the problem, sure.
One large book you've got there.
You bet.
I think this is just a personal thing, or certainly is for me. I tick the boxes I personally feel a part of.I think the ethnicity statistics are a bit misleading in that you can select two ethnicity (one from each parent obviously). For Example: I suppose technically I would select English and Australian as my ethnicity but there are arguments to be made for Italian and Irish (at what point do you stop being from where your ancestors came from?).

Do you not think if it were easy to do then more people would do it? It is not easy. It may be for you, great. It's not that hard for me if I'm not outnumbered. But for most people, myself included, getting into a 1 on many spat is not something that comes naturally or easily. Complicit my arse.Nah, it's pretty easy to do.
It's always fascinated me how native Australians are not viewed as "black" in modern Australian culture.
I'm more fascinated by the utter shit you post and the conviction with which you post it.
Find an Australian, ask them if Aboriginals are black, come back and let us know how it went.
In fact, instead of just making up a bunch of random bullshit about Australia why don't you actually come over here and see how horribly, embarrassingly wrong you've been throughout this entire thread.
