Which is the most racist country in the World?

[glasfryn]

Surely we have had a thread like this before and I say the same


WALES

 

[beorhthelm]

Israelis aren't racist, they just consider all non Jews to be inferior.

erm, thats sort of the definition of racism.

India.

they operate a caste system that would not be allowed anywhere else

good point. are the different castes different races though?

It's a fantastic piece of irony this thread

sort of, but only really if you're confusing racism with sterotyping.

Aussies not racist ?

View attachment 14226

I have met far too many Aussies with a bad attitude, they are obviously not all racists but most seem to have a low opinion of Native Australians.

I've met far too many people from o/s who comment on the Aboriginal situation without ever having been amongst the towns/communities where they are numerous.

Most people issues aren't with the common aboriginal. It lies with their governing bodies who have been given billions in funding over the years and have achieved sweet stuff all with it.

Then they have the audacity to time and time again complain not enough money is being spent to fix their problems.

Their attitude is alot about "what are you going to do to help us". And people are tired of that attitude.

Thankfully there is a ground swell appearing from well educated aborginals with the foresight and strength to now stand up and say hey, nobody can help you if you don't help yourself first and stop blaming everyone else for your problems.

The average Aussie has no issue with helping them out, but if they aren't seen to be making an effort to help themselves out then you can't blame people for seeing them as lazy bums who sit around all day complaining.

And as a final sidenote, the most racist Australians arent the people who have been here for generations, its those who arrived from europe in the last
50 years or so.

The Croat/Serbs immigrants and their offspring are by far the most racist i've encountered.

Still go with my original Rwanda vote,and the Khmer Rouge.

But wasn't it an Australian Prime Minister who said,on Chinese immigration to Oz,"Two Wongs don't make a White" ?

This is the sort of thing shown on national news channel a daily basis:

I dont know how anybody can find this sort of thing legitimate and acceptable in the 21st century.

Doesn't exist...they have a couple of areas..The west bank and Gaza.......Israel for me....think they are bigger than anyone else and just bully every-one around them

 

[the hitman]

I will put forward Pakistan, oh but it cant be racist if its towards us

 

[perseus]

Hard to say, the USA drops bombs on other people. The Caribs ate them (cannibals). The Serbians massacred them.

May I use some of this for an article I am writing for a UK publication.

At last the correct answer I think!

I dread to think what would happen if Israel lost the we are stronger/better than you mentality! Its a bloody good thing they think that tbh. Imagine if the allies during WWII would have landed on D-day thinking 'we're no better than the Nazis!!!!!!!!!!'

"just bully every-one around them"

Really

1948- started by the arabs inteding to destroy israel
1967- started by the arabs intending to destroy israel
1976- started by the arabs intending to destroy israel
Second Intifada- attempts by palestinians to kill as many israelis as possible

(2006 (lebannon) + 2008 (gaza)- think we can agree both as bad as each other. Indiscriminate rocket attacks on innocent civillians with the intention to kill as many as possible matched with a heavy handed response causing a huge amout of damage. )

congrats for counting to ten and then posting an eloquent response, I'd have understood if you'd just got abusive - great post mate. It's a very sad and sorry situation indeed, however a little knowledge as usual tends to lead to ignorance and sweeeping statements from those on the outside looking in (through their monitor)....

Depends

I don't mind as long as it's not a far right or far left leaning publication!

As my view is comming from the middle it isn't representative of the right of politics here in that it's all the aboriginals fault.

Conversely it isn't represenatative of the looney left here who blame only the whites for every single problem within aboriginal communitites.

Feel free to PM with any other questions you might have though.

But wasn't it an Australian Prime Minister who said,on Chinese immigration to Oz,"Two Wongs don't make a White" ?

It was said by Arthur Calwell the Labour minister for immigration in 1947.

But like so many things it was taken out of context.

This is the true story:

Calwell's remark in Parliament in 1947 that "Two Wongs don't make a White" is widely quoted. The remark was intended as a joke, being a reference to a Chinese resident called Wong who was wrongly threatened with deportation, and a Liberal MP, Sir Thomas White.

Calwell later wrote:

It is important to me, at least, to set out the facts about a remark I made in the House of Representatives on December 2, 1947, which has been so often misrepresented it has become tiresome. On that day I was asked a question by Rupert Ryan, brother-in-law of Lord Casey, on the deportation of Malayan seamen, Chinese and other people who had contravened our immigration laws. I said, amongst other things. that an error may have been made in the case of two men named Wong. The Department had served a deportation notice on one of them, but it was the wrong Wong. I then said, and I quote from Hansard: 'there are many Wongs in the Chinese community, but I have to say - and I am sure that the honorable Member for Balaclava will not mind doing so — that "two Wongs do not make a White"'. It was a jocose remark, made partly at the expense of the member for Balaclava, who was at the time the Hon T W (later Sir Thomas) White. I expected that I would have been correctly reported, as I was in Hansard and that the initial letter 'W' on both the names 'Wong' and 'White' would have been written in capitals. But when the message got to Singapore, either because of some anti-Australian Asian journalist or perhaps because some Australian pressman with a chip on his shoulder, a Labor Party hater, the name of White was deliberately altered into a definition of colour, so as to read 'two Wongs don't make a white.' The story has lasted to this day. I have often answered questions about it from young Chinese students at universities in Melbourne and Sydney. I notice whenever reference is made to it in newspapers or periodicals, or whenever the quotation is used anywhere, the Singapore abomination is generally repeated. Latterly the true version is being printed. There was never any intention in my mind to raise any question of colour. I have repudiated the whole story so often that I suppose there is nothing more I can do about it. But I put the facts on record in this book.

The fact he learnt Mandarin so he could converse with his Chinese friends in Melbourne pretty much puts that mistruth to bed.

Having worked for two Australian companies and worked with plenty of them here I still say they are inclined towards racism. Of course back in the days when they used to torture and murder the 'Abos' is no doubt a figment of my imagination. I grant you we British have a less than glorious history with 'minorities' but Australians seem either very happy to sweep their past away or in fact encourage it. I have seen more than a few clips like the one I posted earlier in this thread but I delete them.

Doesn't seem to cross many Australians minds that Aboriginals, like Native Americans, had to change their way of life to accommodate the life style of white man. American Indians have many of the same issues as Aboriginals, why is that ?

Not that I am saying that ALL Australians are racist but they are no better than anybody else either, like a lot of nations, they are reluctant to be honest about their position.

You'd need to put that stuff into context.

The context being that Tyrone "No one cares about The Ashes in Australia" Biggums has a VERY blinkered view of life.

They are the biggest kuntz ever, what other country would allow a cheese called c##n to be still on sale

A country that isn't ridiculously bound in the straightjacket of over the top political correctness ?

The recent crowd numbers at what was once a VERY popular event i.e the annual one day series show that cricket isn't as well supported as it once was.

They only got 25,000 at the recent game in Melbourne and thats way down on years gone past.

Don't let the figures get in the way of your views though.

 

[algie]

I see quite a few people have said Oz yet the expats deny it vigorously?

to be fair, trying to convince us that the aussies dont really care about the ashes was an absolute pile of unadulterated bollocks.
