Other - Society & Culture (Society & Culture) - 14 July 2006

Sounds like a silly question right? Well considering that there are aborigines, asians and black people living in Australia.

So then why do you never see any ethnics in Australian international TV, music and sports (okay you see the odd one in their Rugby team). The TV programmes we see in the UK such as Home & Away, Neighbours, Cell block H and so on dont have any actors from ethnic backgrounds. I know there was A black actor in neighbours a very long time ago but he just a one-show-cameo role.

So what is Australia all about? Is Australia saying that it is too right-wing OR is it trying to make the world think that ethnics can only be sport, movie, TV or music stars in other contries like France, US, England? Even Germany has black football players now beat that one...

Do note that i havent been to Australian yet so before i get bombarded with 'locall & domestically we have lots of famous Asians blah blah etc' Im just commenting on how it may seem to us non-Aussies...

What's the deal with China?

1- Why is it so overpopulated?
2- Is it overcrowded, or still livable there?
3- Do they WANT to start taking over more land.. or at least do you think eventually a huge % of them will emmigrate?
4- CAN they emmigrate.. or is there some law forcing them to stay in their country unless they leave illegally...

how do you stay focused on the right thing ?

I've gotten into a lot of trouble throughout my life.. And now I'm tired of screwin up, I'm tired of saying what I will and won't do. But I can't seem to stay focused on the right thing. Right when I do start doing good I get myself back into more trouble. How do you set your mind, and how you keep it focused on the what's right ? I really need as much feedback as possible.
