Australia has racist problems of its own.
For example, John Howard won the election last year following a campaign that honed in on the nation's hatred. It resulted in the endless suffering of the detainees at Woomera Detention Centre and a fiasco on the Tampa ship out at sea. I was embarrassed to be Australian during those times. I think recently people have begun to realise that the way they were being treated was not right, I've seen a few glimpses of compassion recently.
