Yahoo Poll
Not sure who is voting in this but regardless of whether it is Australians, or people overseas they either have a massive problem with racism or a massive problem with the international perception that they have underlying racism.
The results so far...
Do you think there is an underlying racism in Australia?
2708 YES (78%)
709 NO (20%)
66 UNDECIDED (2%)

There is racism in a lot of places but not EVERYWHERE. This household is a good example.
I think the poll is asking more about a general layer of racism which anecdotal evidence from across the ditch seems to continually imply. I thought Aussie was fairly tolerant apart from Queenslanders who I had heard were very racist since I was a kid. But in recent years I have continually heard stories about how racist Aussies in general are and much of it's the around the BBQ kind. Check out their treatment of aboriginals for example. Fucking disgrace. Unfortunately the next generations are being led by those before them.
There is racism in NZ as well but not in any circles I walk in.
