Your school was all-White or what?
Where was that?
I don't remember much racism, especially overt racism when I was a kid in WA. The ones who came in for stick were the English kids who tried to exert their superiority. Otherwise we just spent time time with peers who suited our happy play time, regardless of how they looked. Childhood racism was like asthma and fat kids back then ... rather rare.
If there is a high proportion of black skinned people being incarcerated it has nothing to do with skin colour. Commit the crime and do the time.
Yes that is likely reasoning along with unemployment. Shoe on the other foot would reveal perpetuated resentment of white fellas to varying degrees. It is great to see businesses making a concerted effort to open doors. Gotta wanna live in present world though.It's hard to say. Maybe a lot of black kids in Australia are brought up on the "black armband" mentallity of being disposessed by whitey and therefore anything they take back off him is fair game. There must be a spectrum of responsibility where some people prefer to blame others and seek revenge and others just get on with life.

Na 70- early 80s were bad. It was nsw just out of Sydney.
The overt stuff slowed a lot in the late 80s and by early 90s there were only a few pockets and aussie bashing became a thing.
But before that, it amazed me how people acted.
If you are white its a lot harder to notice. But asian,wog and blackie would have all experienced something different. Asians are still copping it now. I was in town the other day when a couple of guys were shoving a young asian guy around and throwing racial slurs.
And Rocks and SkegsI think WA was less inclined because it had high rates of migration in my childhood. It did develop a gang culture based on suburbs rather than ethnicity.
And Rocks and Skegs
The Morley Boys were my lot, mostly whitefella. We had the Embleton Boys next door, mostly blackfella.
Apart from the odd border skirmish, we got on pretty well and often drank together.
It was the local skinheads that gave us all grief.... The heathen spawn of £10 Poms.

They probably should have done a bit of background checking before putting him to air.
What is Racism
Not allowing Aussies to celebrate
Australia Day on 26/1
There are more days in a year than 26th Jan. Pick another one.
It’s racist
Aussies arn’t celebrating the day of the first landing
We are celebrating our great country,it’s people and
Lifestyle. Aboriginals are Australians and more than
anyone they should celebrate the country and people
In it.
S/R is right it doesn’t matter what day Australia Day is
Celebrated it will always be offensive to some.
“ They “ don’t want it celebrated at all.
I’m sick of spineless whingers who just want to take
And give back nothing to their country. That includes
The Aboriginals who have received an apology,been given
Countless millions,have more concessions and liberties
Than any of us,have been given millions of Hectares of land
And royalties from that land.Yet they squander,whinge,
Complain and keep lobbying for more and more.
Not celebrating Australia Day is racist and I don’t care
What day it’s celebrated on as long as its in the summer
and we can enjoy the day in the weather we all love.
All aboriginals and all races who love and embrace this
Country and it’s people are more than welcome.
I never predicted these days would become the racist vehicles under the guise of, e.g. the Greens, they have become; it's obviously in small minded bigots (e.g. Greens) interest to polarise and segment the nation along the lines of ethnicity and lifestyle choices.
Not that I have anything against people's choices to join e.g. the Greens, afterall our new egalitarian nation should be happy 'tards have a club to join....... probably subsidised by taxpayer money
