There are some underlying personal motives, HOWEVER, i was brought up well as well, with morals, and most of all, respect to or of your fellow neighbor, whomever that may be, regardless of background, or belief.
So in a broader sense, i would still feel quiet strongly about this subject, purely for the fact of a good and decent, moral upbringing.

Educate the masses. Seriously, the media needs to play its part here mostly, the scaremongering and the subliminal messages and oft badly-reported stories are just the start of this. I understand that this is not a simple task however all too often people believe what they read or see, through the media's eyes, and that is a big problem.

I understand to you it is frustrating but I am afraid that after all this time with man on this planet it has not and dare I say will probably never be resolved unless you approve of putting racists into camps, See the catch 22 there?

I do see what you are saying, i am a reasonable person, open to other's viewpoints, i guess i am attempting to make a point here about racism in Australia, and to a broader extent, in general.

It is there human right to believe what they want right or wrong much like religious choice. I don't agree with any religion yet I respect your right to believe in what ever you wish. It all boils down to laws in you nation, Is it illegal to be racist? If not then what else can you do but worry about your life.

No it's not illegal to be racist, and that was never the point of this thread, the point of this thread was to discuss the underlying feelings a lot of us here in Australia have about Racism in this country.
It was also my desire to invite fellow Australians into this discussion to see what their opinions are, a closer to home viewpoint if you will.
That is ofc to say that i welcome outside opinions as well, i guess i come on a bit strong about certain things, my intentions with my feelings about certain subject matter are first and foremost to invite mature discussions and viewpoints, which this has done so far.
Apologies for my abrasive posts.
However, i stand firm, certainly in the context of this thread, and moreso with the topic of Racism.
