Maybe if non-White Australians started calling themselves 'Australian' instead of the nationality/race of their Middle Eastern, European, Mediterranean, Asian etc ancestors...things would be different.

Maybe if they started cheering for the Australian soccer team, Australian cricket team etc instead of the soccer teams and cricket teams etc of their ancestral countries...things would be different.

Maybe if they spoke English in public.

Maybe if all the store signs were in English.

Of course no 'non-White/non-"Anglo-Saxon"' Australians are racist.

Racism has been so tolerated in the country that anyone who has spent some time in Australia and adopted Australian culture would start making racist remarks regardless of his or her colour. A few years ago, a Chinese woman from Malaysia, who had just become an Australian citizen, made headlines after she posted something very offensive about Asian culture online, while she was working in Indonesia. As for casual racism in Australia, it's the mainstream media that is primarily responsible for instigating anti-immigration sentiments as Rupert Murdock, who is originally from Australia, basically owns the Aussie media and almost every Aussie media outlet is like Fox News. But according to my observation, recent British migrants are less tainted with racism compared to the real Australians whose family roots go back many generations.

Anti-fascist protestors outnumbered their far-right opponents at dual rallies in Brisbane's CBD on Friday. Police officers put themselves between the opposing groups as they gathered on Queen Street outside the offices of the Consul-General of Greece about midday. Members of the Australia First Party organised a protest to show solidarity with the neo-Nazi-linked Greek political party, Golden Dawn. But less than 10 Australia First Party supporters attended the rally, which began outside The Greek Club on Edmonstone Street, South Brisbane. Their protest was overshadowed by a counter, anti-fascist rally staged by up to 200 unionists and members of the group Antifa.

Can't really blame the 'mainstream media' for any perceived anti-immigration sentiment.
The newspapers and talkack radio report facts and comment/editorialise on them...and the People decide for themselves their own beliefs about everything.

Post-war [WW2] immigrants from Europe are some of the harshest critics of the people-smugglers and their 'queue-jumpers'/'asylum-seekers'/'refugees'/'economic immigrants' passengers...call them whatever you wish...arriving from the Middle East/Afghanistan, Pakistan etc, in boats from Indonesia, Sri Lanka etc and trying to enter Australia illegally with no ID and no passports/no documentation.

The Post-war immigrants had to undergo strict background, health etc checks, and live in dorm-style accommodation in 'camps' to start with.

Object to the people-smuggling trade, and support Prime Minister Tony Abbott's plans to stop it, you'll quickly be branded by many as 'racist'.

Object to massive immigration, such immigration turning the roads into carparks, garden-cottages suburbs into apartment block centrals, immigrants and immigrant [labour]outsourcing taking the jobs of locals, and you'll quickly be branded by many as 'racist'.

This article is all over the place with its accusations, statements, and possible agendas.

One older White woman allegedly going 'nutz' on a Sydney train...and one bouncer outside a strip club in Darwin Northern Territory allegedly say inappropriate things...do not make a whole nation to be "full of racists".

Why isn't Australia entitled to protect its borders from people smugglers or anyone else? ...Indonesia does, sends warships and threatens Australia with warplanes.

Tension with OZ escalates as RI deploys warships

With Canberra pressing ahead with its hard-line policy of turning back asylum seekers to Indonesian waters, Jakarta told its neighbor on Wednesday the policy could lead to violations of Indonesia’s sovereignty and that it had increased security on its borders to prevent incursions.

A number of Indonesian Navy warships have been deployed and four Air Force defense radars have been programmed to closely monitor the southern border, military officials told The Jakarta Post on Wednesday.

“We are watching four radars in Timika, Merauke [in Papua], Saumlaki [Maluku] and Buraen [East Nusa Tenggara], which all face Australia,” Air Force chief spokesman Air Commodore Hadi Tjahjanto said.

“If we notice any border violations, our air base in Makassar will be ready. Australia is reachable from there.” Hadi was referring to the Sultan Hasanuddin Air Force Base in the South Sulawesi provincial capital, which is the base of the 11th squadron, consisting of 16 Russian-made Sukhoi Su-27/30 Flankers.

And NAIDOC Week is the perfect time to draw attention to the groundswell of humanity that has arisen as more Australians seem to be standing up and saying racist behaviour is unacceptable.

As the buffet of bigotry continues to serve up dishes seasoned with hate, these last few weeks I have begun to notice more fair-minded people taking a stance.

#####

Then why write this tripe article?

'last few weeks'? ...it's been happening since the 1967 federal referendum, when 90% of the nation voted to make Aboriginal people equal under the law etc...and the 1975 Anti Discrimination Act and 1975 [anti-racism]Racial Discrimination Act.

Just because [White etc] people aren't marching thru the streets banging drums, patting themselves on the back and chanting "aren't we wonderful" [for what we're doing to improve the lives of Indigenous people]...doesn't mean they're not doing anything to assist Indigenous people and their kids attain better health and better lives.

Australia's gravest mistake was abandoning the White Australia policy. That was a catastrophic mistake and it's hard to remedy. Think of it like going through sex reassignment surgery and then changing your mind after the surgery has been performed.

The gravest mistake Australia made was embracing 'multiculturalism', and massive immigration just for the sake of it.
Immigration should've been very selective...with only people who were really needed, and who could support themselves allowed to migrate.
As it is now there are non-integrating 'immigrant ethnic enclaves' everywhere.

Many people who are against immigration here are closet racists. But they claim the are not racist because they have a 'friend' who is black, Muslim, whatever.

White Australians are the most casually racist people I have met.

Racist as a term has lost almost all meaning. There should be nothing improper about not wanting to live in a multicultural society. That's not racist. If racism speaks to something bad or evil, then we need a corresponding bad or evil action to attach to the accusation. Wanting to kill all the people of raceX would qualify. Wanting to have your own culture and not have to make accommodations for other cultures most certainly doesn't make one racist or evil.

So not only are you arrogant and ignorant, you are racist, too. What a surprise.

that way several hundred years ago maybe they wouldn't be all over the globe whining about "multi-culturalism". Your people could have stayed home and enjoyed their own little garden of eden whites only enclave.

So, you're making a general charge of racism against people who claim to make friends with other races?

I'd call them puppets; but not racists. If someone wanted me to have friends based upon racial quotas I'd tell them to fuck off.

What the fuck business is it of anyone else what language people "speak in public" if they are not speaking to you directly?

It's called 'respect', 'manners', and 'integrating'...which sure seem to no longer be evident in Australian society.

One can be vehemently against immigration and not be racist.
The immigration most people seem to be against is the massive immigration of say the last 15 years.
Hundreds of thousands of immigrants pouring in every year, plus hundreds of thousands of foreign students pouring in, who never seem to return home, but stay as extra immigrants.
Whole suburbs in the capital cities have been changed completely.

No, it's called "none of your fucking business." YOU are the one who needs to learn manners.

Only dumbfucks go to places and don't try to fit in. That certainly explains your belligerence on the matter.

"Trying to fit in" means making sure certain people can overhear and understand your private conversations? Talk about a dumb fuck...
