Answers:
FIRSTLY NOT ALL IRISH /AUSTALIANS ARE RACIST BUT YOU ARE CLEARLY TALKING FROM YOUR PERSONAL ENCOUNTERS SO PEOPLE CAN'T SAY THAT YOU ARE WRONG!!!

that's a conversation i have had with many people!. they say "I don't see racism" that is because they have never felt it!.
the Australians are so racist because the indigenous people of that land ARE BLACK, they are scared of them,they stole their country!!!
The Aborigines have the longest cultural history in the world, with origins dating back to the last Ice Age!. The first humans travelled across the sea from Indonesia over a landbridge to Australia and Tasmania, about 70,000 years ago!. The next immigration followed 20,000 years later!. The members of this group which had spread over the western part of Australia are the Aborigines' ancestors!. The whole continent was colonised within a few thousand years!. When the Europeans came to Australia in the 18th century, they found about 750,000 "primitive" natives, as they called them, who seemed to live there as in the Stone Age!.
They called these "savages" & obviously had to make them "civilised"!

Irish and Africans Americans had lots in common and lots of contact during this period; they lived side by side and shared work spaces!. In the early years of immigration the poor Irish and blacks were thrown together, very much part of the same class competing for the same jobs!. In the census of 1850, the term mulatto appears for the first time due primarily to inter-marriage between Irish and African Americans!. The Irish were often referred to as "Negroes turned inside out and Negroes as smoked Irish!." A famous quip of the time attributed to a black man went something like this: "My master is a great tyrant, he treats me like a common Irishman!." Free blacks and Irish were viewed by the Nativists as related, somehow similar, performing the same tasks in society!. It was felt that if amalgamation between the races was to happen, it would happen between Irish and blacks!. But, ultimately, the Irish made the decision to embrace whiteness, thus becoming part of the system which dominated and oppressed blacks!. Although it contradicted their experience back home, it meant freedom here since blackness meant slavery!.

the irish are haters because even when the whole world hated black people the irish were hated even more!! in their eyes they could not believe a Ni**er was treated better than them!.

remember the signs :
NO BLACKS
NO DOGS
NO IRISHWww@Enter-QA@Com

It's very stereotypical to say that!. Maybe the people you encountered were racist, but to say that all Irish and Australian people are racist is like saying all Jews are greedy, and that all Asian people can't drive!.
Both of these are not accurately put, because in any race or culture, you find people who are bad drivers, and greedy!. Even racist people!.

In fairness when Irish people are racist it's the "I'm feeling awkward and cant think of anything to say because I've never met a black person since there are only about 10 of you living in Ireland" racism as opposed to the "I want to stop you from voting and marrying white people" racism!.
I'm not saying either kind is right but I feel a little bit of the first one myself, but just havent got round to working it out yet!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Hi there,

First of all, there is no stereotype, not all Australians and Irish people are racist!. Each person is individual and has their own thoughts!. I'm darker toned and I've had quite a few Irish guys hit on me, and even more Australians (I live here lol)!. Nearly all of my friends are Aussies and my boyfriend (who's black) has a half Irish mother! There are some people that have had a racist opinion but here where I live in Australia anyone that's racist is told to shut the hell up and f*** off!

Alot of people are racist purely because they are afraid of anything different or believe that black/dark people are below them!. Some believe the white race is superior and therefore darker people should be treated like dirt, and then there's some people that believe all dark people are drugged up criminals with no sense of direction or intelligence!. NONE OF THIS IS TRUE!! Yet some people think it and all other different lies!. This can be found all over the world and in different people!.

So please don't think all Aussies and Irish people are racist!. Its people found everywhere and anywhere, thank god the numbers are slowly dwindling and people are becoming more accepting!.

Either way I beleive racism is wrong and people should learn to accept we're all equal!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

My family are irish and they are not racist!. AND i know some Australians and they aren't racist either!. Maybe you just met some ignorant and stupid people in ireland, but don't compare them to the rest of ireland,you cant just assume all irish people are racist because you had a bad experience with a few!.

And about black people never being on australian tv,i bet they are, you just don't know about it and choose to believe your right!. Your offending loads of people you know with your stupid question!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I'm Irish and have two younger brothers who are half Pakistani and everyone always says how cute they are so what are you talking bout racism there is people from all over the world in Ireland and everyone gets on fine they is racist people but they are racist people all over the world!. But theres also nice people so don't just stereotype people and say that there racist!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I am an Irish woman & I most certainly am not racist!. I lived in London for over 12 years and have friends from all over!. I do agree are racists here and I wish I stayed in London as felt people more open minded there!. Since I returned to live here I feel victimised against as am raising my child alone!. I lead a quiet life & yet am judged by other narrow minded people!.

There are racists in every country, narrow minded people who will not change their way of thinking!.

I consider myself to be very open minded & do not judge people until I know them!. There are good and bad in all cultures!.

The Irish forget how many had to emigrate many years ago & how hard it was for them but I think what stirs it all is the people who do go to other countries and abuse the system, or get ahead on the housing list, etc so all that needs to be taken into consideration!. When I live in other peoples countries I respect their way and just get on with living!.

But I do agree people are racist and narrow minded here!. Wish had stayed in Uk for this reason myself and I am Irish!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

My parents are from Ireland and my mom is very racist!. Obviously it's the way some of them are raised!.
THe WORST is that now that she lives in Canada!.!.she wants immigration laws to be really tight!.!.!.but she was an immigrant too!. So, basically she's saying that only white people can move to Canada!. It's awful!. But she's too old to change her mind I think!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
