| @AussiePB, thanks for sharing more about Pauline Hanson and the related information. I now have a clearer perspective of the matter. Honestly when news about her came out, I thought it was a big deal. My mom, who always thinks Australia is a nice place to live in (it is), told me she wanted to emigrate there. And i was like, "But there are racists there!" Hahaha. My brother, when he was doing his National Service, was in Australia for some training. And he experienced racism first hand there. Some African Australians (is that how they're called?) made some racist remarks to my brother and his army buddy in a public place. I always find it strange that Africans would be racist. Didn't they themselves suffer from racism? Anyway, I'm glad things are not as bad as it seems. Yes, Australia is a beautiful place. I've been to Gold Coast before, in 2000. *:) |
