Travel Info How are does Australia look at Black people that come from the United State or that are from Australia? Travel Tips We see them just as we see anyone else. We find the accents intriguing though :) It is unfortunate that our country is not racism-free, but most of the people will just think of you as American first and the colour further down the list. By the way, it may interest you to know that there were African-Americans who arrived in Australia with our first fleet, including our first bushranger who was known as "Black Caesar." It isn't a well-known fact, but there were some people who were slaves in America who went back to the UK with the British, and some of these ended up in the first fleet. Blue's Point in Sydney is named after another of these who was the first ferryman on the harbour. Others arrived at other times after our "white" settlement. There is book by Cassandra Pybus called "Black Founders: The Unknown Story of Australia's First Black Settlers" that covers a lot of this history and I'm trying to track down a copy for myself. Others with their eyes. How else would they look at them? you mean are they racest, no i wouldn't say so, australian in general are very open minded people Modified 11 months ago i don't care what colour people are only how they act if they are a smartass or pissmeoff i let them know most Aussies are the same but like everywhere some are raciest Modified 11 months ago Australia is very mulit-cultural. We have alot of nationalities here and have just learned to accept it. It is a way of life now. I dont really know any people who are racist..... i think that is fantastic!! |
