@ jephbennett Again I do not need a PHD in understanding Racism! I was born into an dunderstanding of it. It can't be taught, and as I am sure, by your comments, you are the typical Caucasian;( hopefully not bamboozled MInority; there are so many out there, afraid to speak the facts) who does know the first what racisim really is, because you've never, and will never be under the skin of any minority. cont,
@ jephbennett I never label just speak facts, and Lawd' have I had my share fo facts! See my dear very little has changed since the 60's! Vanity Fair recently proved that!

So much bitterness and blame calling on these comments here..Its wonderful to see Asian children sharing in a old Australian song,just a pity the grown ups cant follow suit......
lmaooooo YEA i know.. but in the background of the classroom there is chinese writing all over the place, and in aus schools they dont have it. and it says Kaili kids singing. there not australian.
Calling all Aussies prejudice, alone is prejudice against Aussies. I take it you're under educated. We Australians didn't steal this country, it was the British. We live here now, and have made Australia the best country in the world. Americans took the USA from indians,Canada aswell. What ever country you have originated from, i'm sure i can dig up bad history about. Either wars or the way you treat a certain people. The past is the past and the future is what's important. Go get an education.
Oh, I'm far more educated than you, on subjects of prejudice, probably in general, who knows. Also, as a Caucasian person you'd not know prejudice if it was your middle name! I said, it was the British that stole the country from the Aborigines! ( amongst other places) It is known that Australia is a very prejudice. I'm sure you don't know that! What you don't know is that when one starts working to preserve a certain group in a country that's when the racism comes! ( A.K.A. Aborigines) cont,
cont. but never the less it did occur, not by Australians, but by the British. I can not defend those peoples opinions, if they were in fact racist, but that is no basis to conclude that all Australians are racists. I can certainly find youtube links of Asians writing racist comments against Australians or other caucasian countries. If Australians are so racist why are so many immigrants coming to Australia everyday?, because it has a reputation of being very accepting, which is true.
I'll give you that, I will not say all, a great majority! I did not mean all anyway, as I never like to group everyone, but a great majority are, I could go into several recent cases. When you are in International business as a minority in 2009, there is a lot more you experience, when the average Caucasian person says prejudice is a thing is not the same as it was. They just don't know because it's not the skin their in!
The great thing about this world is you can chose which country you live in. If you feel Australia is a 'racist country', it would be far easier to stop criticising it which is, pure racism. I would never go and say 'Asia is a rasist continent' because it's not my place to judge a country or race if i am not a citizen of it and live their everyday. How would you feel if you were a born Australian and you were deemed racist due to your race. The people accusing you of that are the true racists.
Lol, you don't get it, so typical 2 take it personal. FYI, It does not matter which country Asia, belongs to Asians, still does, British tried to mess it up, they cut them out. Africa used to belong to Africans, as Australia was native to the indigenous, Aborigines, USA was native to the Indians, Europe was native to Europeans (Caucasians)Wasn't a problem to roam the earth, but to take what didn't belong to them; that was the problem! But 2day it is what it is! Unfortunately there is racism!
It's so typical, first of all you think us Australians havn't recieved racism from Asia??? You cannot be serious. Japan tried to mess Australia up several times during the past, but due to our spirit we managed to fight to keep our own country. Japan tried to invade and take over Australia during the war. Through Kokoda, where we managed to win that fight and retain our great country. Then they kept Australians in the Berma railway. They also bombed Sydney and Darwin(both paces in Australia)cont
cont, Positive note, one day there will be none, the bible promises that, but for now, we have to deal patiently with one another, the point I was trying to make from the beginning is just like in the states, there is much racism in Australia, I've experienced it strongly but then again for you to even closely understand, which you never will. and this conversation is pointless; is that you must be in skin of color to see it exists and feel it! Ciao!
Japan has gave it to us but thankfully we won. Also lately China has been pushing their appauling human rights beliefs onto Australia by not wanting a Chinese woman expressing her opinions of China in public,thus limiting freedom of speech(they didn't achieve this). Second of all you think anyone but Caucasians are victim to racism.But that's only in Caucasian countries. It is opposite in other countries, for example india. I was victim of people throwing things at me and calling me white trash.
Also in India i was rejected service in restaraunts,being told it was explicitly for Indians.But i do not take this to heart,nor blame the Indians for this.I realise i have entered a country i can not call my own & i am not apart of the country.Anyway having a debate with someone who has racist beliefs of their own, is a time consuming task. I understand that you feel racism, as i certainly have in Asia. But you have to realise racism is evident to similar degrees in every country, unfortunately

Wow I love it when Caucasians try to defend the little racism they've experienced in their lives, oh but guess who brought it on themselves! You can thank your forefathers for that! Again, Australia which belonged to the Indigenous people ( The Aborigines) The British took it from them! Also, The Asian were in direct path of Australia, they had been going there for centuries, long before anyone, and FYI, they did not try to overtake Austraila, the Melanesian's were hunters. cont,
cont, most Caucasians (except those who actually take the time to study the history of what happened, thieving of lands not theirs, etc) feel when any topic of the truth regarding racism is mentioned the person mentioning it is racists, because they know what's being said is the truth! The point; try as you want to right the wrong caused in history by your ancestors, you can't, the history is what it is. I just make it a point to keep the facts straight, sorry if it ruffled your feathers!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Racist? Not at all! Just mentioning the facts, and this is the typical reply from most Caucasians! Extra Note: It is ignorance to jump in a conversation that you were not a part of. Your brainless replies will be deleted and unread, so save yourself the trouble of a reply!
When you comment on a subject make sure you've read the original comments which prompted my response, and it was in reply to someone who made a racists comment about the Asian children which then opened up into a conversation about the origin of this song. I am not a shame, just right, I never get the facts wrong, as I never talk out the side of my neck, I just speak the facts and when I speak them it's from years of research. Shame are those who jump in conversations they know nothing about.
@ JJJJNobody Nope it's a free world, and unlike days gone by Minorities speak freely, the problem is you ( the majority of Caucasians) can't handle it, especially when we speak the facts, so deal with it, only speak the facts! Some are afraid to shout it out, not me!
exactly, if you call one country and it's people racist, isn't that a racist comment in itself your degrading the people of that country :) i agree with you :p
Really well i'd say a great minority. It all depends. I'm taking it you've had bad experiences. well all the Indian, Asian, African people i know dont feel discriminated against at all. Live and let live is my moto. But i have also been to India, so you can say i have experienced discrimination and prejudice. It depends what country you go to, all races feel like they are discriminated against especially in a society in which they are the minority.
cont, I know what has been taken, and by the way it was a combination of British ( primarily the British) A little of the French & Portugese/Spanish) that stole, the new country which is now known as the USA, as it was not the USA when the early settlers ( should we say European thieves came) You can dig up history about any country, but the point here is the injustice done by prejudice, and the theft of the land of others, & those who act as if Australia or any other land belongs to them! NOT!
They're not true, in fact the tallest man in the world is an Asian. Australia is a very welcoming country,we welcome foreigners from third world or first class countries in with open arms.If we're in fact 'racists' then we would not allow poor migrants into our country. Now that brings me to the point of it not being 'our country', well the Aborigines migrated to Australia from South East Asia. Meaning even they arn't complete natives. I do not condone or respect that part of our nations history
(Just looking for the Kookaboora song, but in passing: I would make sure to take into account the "White Australia Policy", part of very recent history, when assessing Australia being "a welcoming country". Regards)
1 last point unfortunately the past affects the future, there is so much racism out there, yes in 2009, for instance by some of the many comments on here, regarding the Asian kids singing, etc, maybe it's an Asian class in Australia and their teachers are trying to familiarize them with Australian medleys, etc,. so they can feel a part of the country. The comments would all be positive, but some people have made comments that are full of racism, which is sad, majority from your fellow Aussies!
Okay i understand what you wrote. But if you were an intelligent person, then you would realise what you just wrote is extremely discriminatory against Australians. If you're so against Prejudice, as i'm sure the majority of us are, then why do you persist of labelling all Australians as prejudist when what you just said is a fine example or racism, prejudice and discrimination. Also the accusation of the 'Racist Australia' view is a stereotype. That's like saying all Asians are small, cont.

The best way to ensure racism thrives is to confuse those who've abandoned it for those who embrace it.
