    Don't we? I didn't know that. To me, South Africans are pretty similar to Australians. We do have a pretty big cricket rivalry though I must admit. I don't hate the springbox, I hate England when it comes to rugby though after that world cup loss. Don't fear Byrone, I like you:smoke:
    Thanks bro right back at ya but in general Australia is a number destination for South Africans looking for greener pastures.Every country has it,here in SA we have an influx of african immgrants mainly from zimbabwe,mozambique & nigeria.Funny thing is the rest of africa kinda hates SA which is similar to the US.I suppose its a case of being jealous of prosperity.But the nuber one enemies here are nigerians(drugs & prostitution) & zimbabweans(cash heists & carjacking).

    Also, that your country is the only (?) predominately white country in the whole continent might have something to do with hating from your African counterparts. I saw this movie about this black guy in SA and he's a bit of a thug, but then he finds a baby and looks after it but at the end he gets shot after he decided not to be a thug anymore. Sad and irrelevant.

    Well the funny thing is the old racist government the NP(National Party) told whites that they were the predominant racial group in the country which is far from the truth.Infact black ppl in SA count for the largest amount of uneducated & impoverished masses in the country.

    Also id like to tell you that africans from the rest of africa dont like the black ppl from SA,well mainly the ignorant ones that somehow think they are superior to their fellow african brothers.How do you think the whole xenophobia thing started?Not a single white,asian or coloured person was invilved in that idiotic event.They said they came here to steal their woman & jobs,i suppose thats pretty much the same all across the world yet you dont see other nations forming mobs & lighting ppl on fire.


    You know some of the serbs here are just as ignorant,they say indians are either gypsies or red indians.:D

    I think we Scots have more of a problem with bigotry than racism, although that also exists here.

    Am I racist? As the one liner (joke) about Scots being racist goes: -

    We Scots are not racist; - we will support any team that plays against an English one! :p ;)

    It's funny because I think in Lebanon, most of the people here are unintentionally racist. I don't think they realize how offensive they are actually being.

    We still call black people, '3abeed', which literally means 'slaves'.

    Other examples that are a little more trivial.

    We have a chocolate that is shaped a little like a human skull called "Rass el 3abbed". What this actually means is " Nigger's Head". We have another type of chocolate called "Negro".

    Also, in some areas in Lebanon, many households employ maids from countries like Sri Lanka and Ethiopia because they are relatively cheap labor. Some people really treat them horribly, it's very sad.

    I'd say on a scale from one to ten, my country would have to get a 9.

    its abit similar here, but i think 9 out of 10 is way too much i think a 5 would be fair if i think Lebanon is similar to here considering the region. we do have Africans living here but rarely are they abused, cos there are dark colored Egyptians who live in the southern regions.

    i think Egypt has its share of religious racism but its not as violent as it is made to be but it does exist here specially amongst the un-educated population.

    Do you think an Egyptian man walking down the street with a western(white) woman would get abuse in Egypt?
