Last I heard, Austrailla had a quota on how many minorities they let into their borders in a given year unless you are a "laborer" - what the US would call "day workers" aka someone willing to break their back doing laborious work that you wouldn't. As a matter of fact, lol, they even named this policy the "White Austrailia Policy" which now is a revamped (meaning redjusted quotas and the labor criteria) edition of the ORIGINAL "White Austrailia Policy" from the 60's and 70's.
Austrailia is notoriously the most racist country on the globe man. What do you expect from a country that was a prison island for UK filth? I learned this information when my austraillian history teacher told us all about it in middleschool and it's still true today where their population is still 92% white, 7% asian/latino/native american etc. Guess what pecentage of the population is black? 1% That's TODAY btw, not 10 years ago, 20 years ago, 80-90 100 years ago. Today. OBVIOUSLY this effects what is taught in schools, what peoples mental climate is regarding all other races, etc, which is why it's useless discussing anything of race with a born and raised austraillian - And this is what my Aus history teacher told me! That's just what they're taught is right, they don't know any different. It's a way of life that they see as perfectly normal and justified.
Google for
White Austraila Policy and entertain your self with some global history.
I gotta get Nos one of these for his birthday!!
