Yes there is lots of people who wont admit to it but trust me it is alive and well. Until you come across racism and/or the misconceptions about a particular race then you truly do not understand the implications that it has. Look at the Cronulla Race Riots pure and utter racism on both parts. For all those that think there is not a problem take off your rosy coloured glasses!!

No. Not today. Maybe tomorrow. I think there was last week. LOL. Just kidding. Girl, there's racism EVERYWHERE in this world. It is all around us. It's just up to the good people like you and I to look past color of skin and on the inside. I don't care how cheesy it is but seriously, you'll never meet the same exact person twice in this world.

Of course there is. Racism is easy.
Accepting the differences of others takes much more work. At least some people are trying. Check the hyperlink below.

Yes, but we don't scream and rush to lock the doors when a person of a different nationality or "race" walks past on the street.
There are stupid and ignorant people everywhere.

Define racism. My black dog doesn't like small white dogs. Is he a racist or just discerning?
Sometimes its simply freedom of association or choice. I probably wouldn't hang around with a Lebanese, Farsi or Somalian gang, not because its racist, but because I have nothing in common with them.
Your choice.

Sure it is. Most of it is inspired by those migrants who apply for citizenship and then wear their own national flag as a badge at every opportunity. I think National Flags other than that of the country you claim to be a citizen of should be banned from use except at recognised International events and only by eventers.
Those riots at Cronulla were sparked by the Lebanese parading a Lebanese flag around as if they were all Lebanese in their own National country. Actions like these are bound to spark racial tensions and shame on the Lebanese community for failing to oversee the behavior of their ill informed youths. If they don't want to be part of the Australian community send them back to Lebanon to endure the poverty the risk of being bombed on the streets or slaughtered in their beds by rival factions.

Sure there is....we just try to keep it under the covers but every so often it rears its ugly head (e.g. Sydney beach riots last year).
