I worked in the city and out of 20 staff members I was the only one with Australian born parents, Australia is very multicultural especially in Sydney and Melbourne. In 2009 I sincerly hope you will not have to deal with racism.

I sincerely hope too that this does not continue...

I have decided to move to Sydney but have heard about racism towards Indians and this worries me. I am also worried about whether we will ever be able to afford a house as Sydney is so damn expensive. What are the job prospects like for IT professionals? I will be sponsored under my wife's visa. Please give me some advice/suggestions.

forget the house for now..

I still can't believe how easy it is to buy a nice home in Toronto vs Vancouver. I'd suggest any newcomers consider Toronto first before Vancouver, especially if you're of African/middle-eastern descent.

Australia is a special case too, no ? At least these guys are giving it back...

And the mighty British empire that spawned Canada & Australia have discovered that discrimination is alive and well in Britain - good luck finding work if you don't sound white: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/commen ... 638377.ece

Australian youths need to be raised in a different way perhaps...but for now they need to be given back a dose of their own crap..
