close).

Yeah well someone has to give a shit!
I can't see the point of any racism. I think it is terrible that we try and
call ourselves civalised when there is so much racial tension/hatred.

I have never had a problem with racism myself having had friends from
Aboriginal, African, Asian, Yugoslavian, Americian, British, German, Norweigen,
New Zealand ...
 I have never looked at any race differently ( This mainly stems from the
environment I which I was raised). I think racial acceptance has to be 
taught at school, in the media, anywhere until it is eradicated. If you
get a group of children 4-5 yrs old from every country and put them together
in a play ground you will see that they get along quite well. We have to 
stop the older generations passing the racial hatreds down to there children.

No maybe they are fed up with the treatment they recieve in your country,
I can't say that Australia doesn't have it's racial problems but I would
think that it is a far better model of racially mixed society than the US.

Its funny how the US likes to call themselves the super-power, leaders ..etc
Is similar to the problem alot of British had/have (think they are superior).
I have nothing against these nations, I would like to travel everywhere oneday
but for the superiority they assume they possess they show little proof.

Yeah look at the widening gap between the rich and the poor in your country
