Agree that's not necessarily a reason to assume why people move to Australia.
However I have spent some time there I really liked the place in many ways but the casual racism is (or was then ) overwhelming
- I was shocked when in a bar after work one of our colleagues started talking about "wogs". (by which they meant people of italian heritage.)
Not only that a guy called Mario, who was part of the group, was expected to join in the banter.
Of course the history of the way the Indigneous population has been treated is well known- though not as well known as it should be, but what happened to the Chinese community in Australia is absolutely horrendous .
