I don't know how many Freepers are familiar with Germaine Greer. A Google will soon tell all. There are indeed some blots in Aussie history and this is one of them.

Agreed. Germaine Greer is a blot on Australian History.

She's probably desperate these days to get somebody to pay attention to her.

I will agree with her on one thing:

"Australia is as racist as Britain, no more, no less,"

Yeah, relatively not that much in my experience. There’s a hardcore of racists in both countries, and some of them are no doubt stoking the fire in Sydney, but when Joe Normal starts rioting I think there’s a deeper reason why.

Incidently, this has been far from all over the British media. “Gratuitous” coverage my foot.

"If Australia had been colonised by any other nation but the British, it would be less racist.
Horse manure. The French have a far sharper (and less historically justified) sense of innate superiority than the British. Also, had Australia been settled by the Japanese or Chinese, it would be far more racist.

I find it absolutely fascinating that the MSM can find no indicators of racism on "the other side."

This part is also interesting:

It came from ignorance and working-class frustration

The underground elitism and social snobbery of the socialists is surfacing.

violence between young whites and Lebanese-Australians

So the young whites don't like the Australian chicks who are into each other?

Some loon stands on her soapbox makes blanket unsubstantiated claims against Australians and for this she is thought of as morally superior?

Here's what I have so far:


 
Australia does not have a race relations problem. We have a clash of cultures and that's a big difference -- and maybe the problem is certain forms of Islam --

Violence Spreading in Australia

Racism is repulsive, but so is self-loathing -- "While I agree there is no justifying excuse for the violence and breakdown in order that occurred at Cronulla, it needs to be put in context. Unless you live in an area like Cronulla, Brighton-Le-Sands or Bondi, you have no idea what it is like to have one's suburb regularly inundated with large groups of young Muslim men from the western suburbs who proceed to shoot people [as has happened in Brighton], intimidate people, regularly threaten people within their vicinity with violence, drive around in large groups screaming abuse at people from cars with their music blaring, regularly brawling, etc."   link: 524 comments

In addition to the Islamics, there is an enourmous number of Western appeasers/sympathizers that need to be dealt with as the War progresses.
