Are there any Black people etc in Australia?

Question

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...

Answer 1

there are a lot of aborigines, and there are some afro-australians, but not as many as in the states. Australia didn't have the huge slave trade that the states had. Also keep in mind the population of Australia... the entire continent is roughly the same as new york city alone... so there just aren't as many australians to go around...

but in the cities there is just as much diversity as anywhere else...

Answer 2

because it is ruled by the british and we all know that the british always discriminate against non white people. just look how they have destroyed every country they ever had a part in. the only reason america won was because it was founded by british criminals
