That is probably due to local incidents, it's not like the entirety of Indigenous Australian hates the immigrated and vice versa. A tension between the Indigenous peoples of North-Western Australia and everyone else. Insular issues not caused by institutionalised racism. The Indigenous peoples are probably mad that their ancestor's land was taken from them and the everyone else is probably mad that the Indigenous people are living off goverment handouts, and they just coast through life drinking, smoking weed and sniffing petrol. I've seen it a hundred times in many different towns. It's sad but there are many programs run by Indigenous people that trying to turn this destructive culture many Indigenous people have adopted by helping them integrate into modern society whilst maintaining many cultures and history. There are some pretty bad role models in the media for Indigenous youth. People like Greg Inglis get off with throwing a bottle at a woman, that doesn't preach very well to all the youngsters that look up to him. And I'll tell you this Indigenous youth in Queensland worship rugby players. In the end some communites are fucking terrible, that have almost no hope of recovery. They are so far gone it's incredibly sad. But at the very least there is effort from the Indigenous people themselves and the government to make a difference. At the end of the day, some people are willing to work for an honest life and other are content wasting away on government hand outs just to drink bleach and petrol.

How many times ahve you visited Australia? How many Australians do you know? How many Australians of different cultures, religions and ethnicities do you know? How much time have spent absorbing Australian culture? Do you have a steeped knowledge of Australian history? Have you spent time within Aboriginal communities in rural areas? Thanks for your judgement. Rich coming from an American. How is the Martin incident and Ferguson riots treating race relations in America? Rate your own country before talking about others.

Yet I've never met anyone that truly holds a racist view. Perhaps there is pockets of racism but I've only ever encountered lovely people of all races and religions in Australia. I've always viewed Australia as a multicultural nation as everyone outside of those with Indigenous heritage have to claim their ancestry as immigrants. A European person belongs no more or no less in Australia as an African, Arabic or Asian person. People often confuse an odd Australian cultural facet of casual racism for actual racism. I've heard many a people say things like "I fucking hate useless black cunts" to friends of their's that happen to be black. I've even heard black people say "fucking useless black cunts". What people in other countries get offended by as racist probably wouldn't happen the same way in Australia. The cultural interpretation of racism is hypocritical in Australia, people will sledge muslims, but then go around to their best mate's house who happens to be a muslim. There have been issues of race in Australia just like every country but there are no movements like the Ku Klux Klan, nor are there any major political parties like the BNP. There was a party led by Pauline Hanson in the 90s that was incredibly right wing but it was a general embarassment and mocked by the media. The existence of the United Australia Party has been a ongoing joke on the Australian political landscape. I've always felt the 'racist Australia' stereotype to be completely overblown. Australia has been shoehorned into this horrible archetype when other countries like South Africa, United States of America, Canada and the United Kingdom have perpetrated as equally and if not more offensive racial crimes in history. Do not forget that early Australians were just English and British people, so any early race crimes commited by Australians reflects back to the our heritage of the United Kingdom.

He calls me racist after a joke about nationality. Didn't realise I made a comment against your ethnicity. If anything you are the one being racist by stating that a nationalistic joke is racist. The implication you made is that New Zealand is one race of people. Hahahahaha, read a dictionary before you use that word again.

If the New Zealish could shitpost and bant but they can't because they'll be too mad.

Implying that Falcao wanted to leave and was only sold due to budget constraints.

What does Chelsea offer to Koke that Atletico doesnt'?

It also has more than 20,000 less people than Stamford Bridge.

I was at a Blackhawks match. The UC is shared between hockey and basketball.

The loudest stadium I've been to was the United Centre during the American national anthem. Fucking cringe worthy it was but was still absolutely 10/10 amazing to hear. The noise generated was absolutely astounding.

Already happened. He rejected Barcelona.

You are playing it fast and loose with the word 'celeberity'.

I read that as you saying that to your dad. Haha. Old cunt.

Anton Greasyman's hairstyle choices are often ridiculous. Marco Reus' hair seems to become a more exaggerated parody of itself every year.

No, the league is pretty shit. It has been declining for several years. People have been saying it for years, even in 10/11 people were saying that Man Utd were the worst champions in years.

I'm not a big baseball fan. But I will probably be going to a match in July, Cubs at the Braves. Should be a messy day.

Your soul mate isn't going to show up on your door one day. You have to look for that shit and put yourself out there. Or you could do what WHS did and knock a chick up because he doesn't know how to use a condom.
