Actually, I think that the deal is... if you are in a major city, the mingling of different cultures and races is more accepted and tolerated. But not so much if you are in a more rural area or small town.

Then another thought came to me, if a woman has very protective brothers, that could be a slight stumbling block for an interracial/intercultural relationship. I was remembering that scene in My Big Fat Greek Wedding where John Corbett was being threatened by his fiance's Greek brothers saying that if he ever hurt her, they'd kill him. lol

There are a few like that, but most are pretty against any interracial dealings. Very openly as well. They don't make it a secret.

I can vouch for that.

Personally, I find Brit girls annoying and arrogant. Scottish and Irish gals are the way to go if one truly has to have a UK gal.

Sure, I agree, many of them are more liberal but I'm countering the point made by the OP that seemed to be saying that Australian women, (or men for that matter) are more liberal than other people around the world, when it comes to interracial dating/marriage. There are definitely women (and men) in this country that would NEVER dream of dating or marrying outside their race. (and as I said previously, not just white anglo saxons) Just like anywhere else. AND just like anywhere else there are Aussie girls (and guys) that couldn't care less what colour you are or where you come from. So I guess I'm countering the perception the OP and a few others seem to have that Australia is some kind of Eutopia for inter racial relationships. That's all. Nothing more, nothing less.

I've only talked to one UK girl who seemed arrogant to me. Most of them seemed really sweet and nice, friendly, I don't know, more so than American girls. I'm not sure why but that's been my experience. Australian girls are awesome too, I've had some good conversations with Aussie girls online, hehe.

I would advise you spending some of the wealth you talk about and get out and see it for real. Might give you a better perspective.

I honestly don't enjoy traveling. I like the USA plenty well enough, been to Italy, France, South Korea, China, Canada, and Mexico. And I like it best right here. I'm not a travel-the-world type, frankly couldn't give a crap about the rest of the world. This is the best country, if I want to see the great monuments and cool stuff around the world, that's what the Internet is for. My money is better spent on more useful pursuits.
