You need firstly to learn a spot of Stralyn history. Not long so shouldn't be overly taxing. Off with you then. My credibility indeed. Junior on the key board again.

Think attitudes will change with time, but it's a gradual process.
Attitudes have changed over time. Australia was akin to South Africa in racial sentiment until a point in the 80's when segments of the populace changed.
It took further time to embrace change but appears to be a continuing involving process. How we adapt to real Asian integration remains to be seen, but adapt will hardly be a choice over coming decades.

I guess you remain ignorant to social historical realities pre 2010.

Mate you're the one comparing 1980s Australia to apartheid South Africa. It's so good. We just give you the rope and you do the rest.

No you become informed. Put it down to a community service. Australia was the most similar in country terms in attitude to South Africa as likely to find.(changes arrived in the eighties) Sorry if bewildering to you but then I guess life must be a constant state of amazement to you. (pronouns in place) Don't tie yourself up in knots attempting a rebuke.

There you go again presenting your half-cocked opinions as fact. Well done on the pronouns though.

Not possessing awareness into Australian social history does not in any shape or form validate above comment. You really need to read up on just what sort of a society this was until rather recent times.
I don't just mean a Wikipedia entry but a true understanding of how life was before social media ….

Best get acquired with knowledge on subject. Laughing at ones own short comings doesn't usually eradicate ignorance. While I can accept laughing can be a way out of embarrassment.
