Are you kidding me? If you're an ethnic minority you're more than aware of the discrimination that's still prevalent in this country and it's not just casual banter that I'm talking about, it's genuine racism.B1rd wrote:
I don't think racism is too common in Australia..
Really? What are examples of rasicm you have expierienced? I'd understand a little maybe if you were middle eastern, since there are a lot of people pissed about things like schools banning people from saying 'merry christmas' because of muslims, and stuff like that, but I can't understand why there would be any racist attitudes towards Indians.LaVolpe024 wrote:

there are racist attitudes towards indians because idiots assume we're arabs and these happen to be the same idiots who think arabs are terrorist supporters. if you want an analogy, it would be like if i went to Germany and started calling everyone baguette-with-snail-sauce-eating faggots who can't win wars.B1rd wrote:

I haven't seen any examples of racism, maybe it's more prominent of the mainland or I'm just unaware.

Fun fact:
Some teachers, or professors here actually make their students do projects and make them post it on facebook and they will base the grade of that particular activity on the number of likes they get on that post, e.g. the people with the most likes gets the highest grade.
I'm not sure if it's a thing in other countries, but it is here.
Kinda ridiculous right? Basing the grades on popularity and how many people you beg for likes, god this place is full of attention whores. The education system and the way most people think is so fucked up.
I'm fine thank you. And you?REDALiCE wrote:

Is it possible to get really high grades with bullshit post if it gets a lot of likes?Sonatora wrote:

TL;DR: Teachers here being dumb and stupid so decided to turn the project evaluation into a like and share bullshit contest
Wow. If only there were some agency through which this sort of bullshit could be regulated and punished.Sonatora wrote:
