As a long-term resident of that nation, I agree that Australia is racist. In fact racism is institutionalized in public policy, as there are government departments that deal with Aborigines and Torres Straits Islanders,;they are not officially recognized as real people.

On the other hand I don't think it is going to be practical to return any country to its native population. It is said that Australia's Aboriginals themselved displaced the original inhabitants. And I am an Englishman and a descendant of the Normans that came over to England with William the Conqueror in 1066. Are we to be sent back to Normandy?
