Nah, considering my country is majority black. Even then, our Indian and Asian minorities have integrated generations ago. Can't say i've ever heard of race issues here. We're more classist if anything.

People afraid of me because i'm white, have long black hair, black beard + heavy metal t-shirt.

Lol, yeah, people will pretty much look strange to anything, I've also had a lot of strange looks for since some time since I let my hair grow, and because I like to use black shirts and also had grown a beard, even a friend that I didn't saw for some time came saying: wtf? are you into a heavy metal band now? dammit!

Well, judging by what people are telling here you can see pretty much everyone get some weird looks, which also means pretty much everyone also give some weird looks, even if you don't pay much atention to it, it's not possible everyone here gets it but nobody does it, there have to be people doing it for people to be receiving it... xP

Lmao!! xD

There are few people in my office commented me cause of my looking, they thought i'm going to beat them down for no reason.. xP Then later night, i went to "hobby" conference, some gamer gal came to me and asked: Hi, you look awesome, have you watched Alphaomegasin recently?? - Me: WTF xD

Ahh people love to judge the look.

It isn't so much skin colour but the way you present yourself.

If you dress like a gansta, well media trains us form a young age ganstas are trouble.

On the flip side, I think a bigger problem is refugees. For example here in Australia we get a lot of Sudanese atm. They bring their fucked up troubles here and still have their little tribal wars. So the race gets a stigma. However this stigma can be dramatically different from state to state. What I noticed with the difference is how their elder leaders have controlled them. If they provide positive reassurance that they are here for a better life and move on with a positive mind set and that we are not out to kill them, they seem to blend well with society. If their leaders are mentally retarded and brainwash them with fear, they act like they do in their own country.

It was actually quite funny because when I moved interstate everyone was like watch out for Sudanese, I was like wtf they gentle haha. However when I met some, I could see the differences in how they integrated, one in a positive way and one in a bad way.

Well, people are afraid because of my skin color.

I'm so pale, they are afraid I'm about to pass out.

...and sometimes I do.

And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

This is what I mean. Nobody will be scared of you if you're well-dressed and groomed. But if you look like a bikie, irrespective of your skin colour, people will have preconceived ideas on you.
