[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are worse than any other place I’ve been. I’m white but Eastern European and they talked to me to my face about other races as well as Slavs as inferior to their culture. During one conversation I literally couldn’t hold back and told the guy he should stop talking given that his ancestors were criminals deported by England. He stopped talking then.

Of course there are also lovely Australians but my experience was that they are not nice people as a whole. I also found them very sexist, which is saying a lot since I come from a traditional culture and am myself fine with cooking while DH does the heavy and dirty jobs around the house. [/quote]

Who exactly were you hanging out with? I’m a second generation Australian Slav who grew up in one of the most racist parts of Australia and never had anyone comment on my Slav ethnicity. Of course I’m not saying there isn’t racism but that one is odd in this day and age. If anything, I’d say the older generation of Slav migrants who arrived in the 1950s and 1960s tended to be pretty racist (I had a front row seat for that). Probably unfortunately the case for many of that older generation.
