This had me laugh.

"blacks" in Australia are usually Aboriginies- akin to our Native Americans. Not many people of African origin.

Ethnic groups	
white 92%
Asian 7%
aboriginal and other 1%

There was a story line with one Asian prisoner.   Even in the United States the percentage of African-Americans in prison is much higher than their percentage of the population.  I suppose the minority in Australia is so minor that if it was over-represented in prison the prison would still be pretty white.

Screws is a slang term, isn't it?  I wasn't sure if they were correctional officers or guards.[/quote]

One thing to note is that in Australia, many people of Southern European ancestry (Greece, Italy) aren't considered white (this poll not withstanding.)
Racism is generally focused against Aborigines and Indonesian and Chinese immigrants.[/quote]
