    That is amazing. bullets in the post. At least we don't live in England or the US where racism is a part of life. I know that inferred racism is creeping into Australian society as it has already in the UK. By that I mean the comment like " I'm not racist but..." and then a comment on immigrants taking 'OUR' jobs. This sort of racism is very common now and it has been in UK for a long time.

    The irony being that countries with open working visa policies consistently have lower unemployment.

    Unfortunately I think it's (at the very least) being validated by our politicians and certain parts if the media.

    And that's just in the enlightened land of UK.How about the football racism in eastern Europe and Spain? Monkey chants, bananas, the whole dice.

    Something to savour. Intelligent men having intelligent conversation about something that matters. Looking forward to hearing more.
