It's funny, racism often involves people stereotyping a particular race or culture based on a minority of "bad eggs". And the irony here is that your basing your feelings that many Australians are racist based on a minority you see in day to day life. Put it this way, I think your focusing too much on a select few because your sensitive to this kind of reaction, and missing the many who walk on by seeing just another human being regardless of race/culture.
Sorry, but I just take offence to the notion that many Australians are racist. That's just simply not true.
