Then one has to ask himself, why is america such a violent country? Is it because we are founded by sociopaths that raped and killed for profit and those people, like columbus reproduced spreading the disease of violence. Is it our lack of unity and culture? Is it hollywood or our media? Is it the lack of education?
So your responding to everyone else's post except mine, all you have to do is give me the link in which you found the percentages and stats in your first post.
I can understand why some Australians seem openly racist, possibly because the immigration is so recent and they feel they have been taken over by recent immigration, too much in a short time and many are the result of war or refugees seeking a new home, they probably feel they dont belong there
the USA immigration has a long history and many of those immigrants have contributed a lot to America
and are more assimilated into American culture
I think it's about the scale of immigration in the post WW II era. In that period the percentage of Australia's population born overseas has consistently been around 25%. And yes, I think some of those immigrants have had mixed feelings about their new home.
From my experiences traveling, it depends on what race is in what country. A Black man in the UK might have an amazing experience and feel welcomed while an Indian might have the worst experience of his life. Similarly, a Black man in France will have the best experience of his life while a Middle Eastern male will absolutely hate it there since he will always be stereotyped negatively.
If I had to say from experience alone it would go like this.
Eastern Europe
Lots of hate towards Asians and anyone who is Brown is considered Gypsy to them right off the bat, no matter how the person dresses or acts. I have a darker Latino friend (Mexican) that went there and had beer bottles thrown at him during the night, he was in Czech Republic and he said it was really bad.
Argentina
They confuse anyone who is brown with Nicaraguans and poor immigrants so again, a bad place to be if you aren't White. Not sure about what kind of experiences a Black man will have there but not a good country to be a non-White person in general. According to history, a lot of the Nazis settled there after World War 2 to avoid persecution so take that into account.
France
Maybe it is due to poor immigration policy or something like that but the French absolutely hate anyone that even closely resembles an Arabic or Persian person. I know this from experience of having stayed there. The French don't admit how racist they are but it is no question the most racist country in all of Western Europe. I have not heard as much racism from the mouth of any other nationality than the French, most of it being directed towards Arabs and North Africans. Isn't too welcoming of Asians either.
People say Italy and Spain are more racist, those countries are just more xenophobic than racist. The French aren't actually that Xenophobic, they just hate certain races while loving others. Excellent country to visit if you are Black or White, if you are Asian, Brown, or anything like that, stay outta there, you will hate it. In case I forget to mention, the French absolutely ADORE Black people.
TO those that have said the US. I live in South Carolina and I have yet to see that much racism going on here. Our governor is an Indian woman and all races hang out with each other here. The south is regarded as the most racist part of the US, I have rarely seen or heard of much racism here.
As for those of you saying Australia, a lot of the racism is from minorities towards each other. The Lebanese population there is the one that violently attacked the Indian students, not the ethnic White population.
Speaking of, I would probably put the Middle East right up there with Eastern Europe in terms of racism, if you aren't Middle Eastern or White you will be seen as someone that is lowly. A user on here told me about how he has run into a lot of racism from Arabs in real life due to having darker skin.
