Interesting observation: Australia has a degree of racism approximatly similiar to the United States. This is considered a relatively bad thing. However, the degree of the problem is on an entirely different scale because of the preponderence of caucasions, who are the traditional racists, and Asians, who are famous for their willingingness, ability, and success at "playing by the rules" in both Australia and the US. In the US ~50% of our population is a non-white minority, in Australia it less than half that (I think). The lack of daily contact and understanding creates a larger cultural divide than in the United States.
