And it's not even approaching racism but I'd be genuinely interested in hearing why you think it is. As a middle aged white guy myself I don't really believe it's possible to be racist against white people in white dominated countries like Australia because it has no effect on me in the slightest. I don't have time to get into it but here's a good explanation.

How does it matter where you are, as long as you do something based on discrimination against a particular group based on race, that's racism.

If you go to India and be racist against Indians there, does that make you not a racist?

The trouble with a lot of people is they never understand that our actions result in a swinging pendulum. There's momentum in either direction. If we do not learn from our past mistakes, we will simply be swinging from one extreme to the other. While we once discriminated against Aboriginals, we could very easily one day find ourselves doing the same thing against white people if we're not careful.

And I also find it strange that you felt the need to tell us your heritage. Being black/white/yellow/brown does not automatically make it fine for you to discriminate against people of your own skin colour.
