Indefinite immigration detention ruled unlawful in landmark Australian high court decision
Decision overturns 20-year-old precedent and could trigger immediate release of 92 people, with detention of 340 others also in doubt
Australians are some of the most racist people on the planet.
I've noticed, the less diverse a population is, the more racist they become while the rest of the world focuses on nations who actually have to deal with diversity. US, Sweden, etc.
As an Australian, I honestly don’t disagree with you… but suggesting Sweden has more racial diversity than Australia?! From what i can see, Sweden has “6% diversity”, whereas Australia has 9%. Not a huge difference, granted, but completely different ballpark to USA (49%), and if this is your measure, Australia still “beats” Sweden.
That’s pretty inaccurate as well. Australia is diverse, but we don’t explicitly track ethnicities demographics so you’ll never find an official figure
To quote the wiki and ABS stats
So roughly 25%.
Add to that 30% of the population is born overseas (compared to 13% US), so 1/4 people you meet will be diverse in a non-skin identifiable way. And 50% of the country have at least one parent born overseas, so families are pretty diverse.
Fun fact, we’re also the only country in the world with a higher rate of Americans immigrating in than we are going to America.
How are you 'measuring diversity'?
Are you including the entire country, or just certain parts?
If it's the entire country, then Australians still don't have to deal with diversity because most of their minorities live away from the white people.
As an Australian who's travelled a fair bit I'd say the level of racism in Australia varies depending on where you are and most parts of the world I've visited are more racist than the major cities of Australia. But that's just my personal observation.
Isn't that a fairly racist / prejudice comment in itself?
There is a difference between race and culture even if we tend to use the same words for both. I have a friends who is racially Chinese but was born and raised in the UK so very British culturaly.
Lol.
