Did we ever work out what was going on?

AUSTRALIA ranks among the most racially tolerant countries in the world, a global study of social attitudes has found.

We sit alongside our neighbours New Zealand, the US, UK, Canada, Sweden, Norway, Latvia and large parts of Latin America in the rankings of 80 countries.

India, Jordan, Bangladesh and Hong Kong are the most racially intolerant countries, the data mapping shows

Seems a nerve has been twanged.

I wasn't expecting tolerance

I've felt most safe in third world shitholes because various ethnic groups hate each other more than the white oppressor, so there may be some substance to this.

so you still live in Queensland qmy?

I lib hea wid ma bruvas still.

qmy is David Morrow ...whodathunkit

I was hoping someone on here was intelligent enough to get the reference.

Morrow's still my favourite sports commentator though.

hehehe

We all knew India was 'a bit racial'. Surprised about the Strinos though - they must've polled loads of immigents.

The Aus pollster didn't like darkies, so didn't ask 'em.

Dunno how the Yanks scored "low" in the study...

Nothing against Australia, but Latvia most tolerant? That is funny. They still have alien passports for their ethnic Russians.

Then again, Russians always seemed a bit like illegal space immigrants

Aye t, at face value the graph seems to be full of flaws. But then again, the "racist" perception (rather than actual) of a country can be driven by a handful of well publicised but isolated events.

Can't say I'd give a toss what brand moved in next door. My suburb is becoming quite highly "Asianised" (particularly in the wake of the British Hong Kong lease expiring) but everyone gets on fine.

True...

And I wouldn't mind any neighbour than the current ones which usually oscillate between a group of loose bowelled pigeons and a married couple(who may also be loose bowelled pigeons). Except maybe Italians, they are uberqunts. Though with that, India has gone further down on that list.

So there's more to the australian shithole than meets the eye. It could be like aussie sledging happens when umpire is not looking kinda data. They are clever enough to manipulate the rules of the game.

Funny, Italians and Greeks are very much part of the fabric of Aus society these days, along with most Asian cultures, with virtually no hint of racial tension. Middle Eastern races seem to make the most news in Aus, mainly because of the minority of twats that want to push more radical Muslim views. But in the main, the vast majority of Aus neighbourhoods are pretty diverse, but quiet and civilised.

Is it still going on?

Is what going on?

Whatever.

Clearly it used to go on.

I can only imagine how high up the list we would be if we didn't let Indians migrate here
