RE: Australia
Cookie, I realise our past is quite questionable, but many other countries around the world enforced racist immigration policy around those times as well.

And I would be happy to give land back to aboriginals if they would use it for historical purposes, but it's not going to happen.  I used to live near a town of aboriginals and it was quite astonishing how bad things can be (I don't think this is the place to be telling any of the stories).  I realise there is some good in these communities, but with the 'reverse racism' and them punishing "white" people (or calling for punishment) over ANY incident involving an aboriginal, that is where I have a problem.  Palm Island's death in custody inquiry is a prim example of the political correctness that is ruining us, if Cameron was white then there would have been nothing really said about it (and yes his name was cameron before his death, after that the media started calling him by his aboriginal name).

Racism from white people still exists, but it normally comes from the people who have to deal with aboriginals the most, it changes their perspective on them negatively unfortunately.  Unline Europeans, Aboriginals haven't had alcohol over the vast number of generations, so they are not used to it, when they do have it it effects them much quicker than normal and hence leads to problems.  Plus they start to expect society to pay for them to survive because they apparently have it hard.  At the moment they get paid an allowance by the government and get extra funding at school, just for being aboriginal.  This money mosty gets wasted on booze (or metholated spirits), paint and petrol from my experience.

I realise you'll try to tell me that I'm beingvery steroetypical, but when you see the places and hear a few stories from you parents about what was happening, then you do believe the unfortunate trueth.  The only way I believe these things can be changed is with a long term approach to build up their sense of community and respect for authoity and self through their own people, but our government only wants quick fixes because they need to get re-elected next time.
