@Galtraveller, oh sorry to hear that. Just ignore them and do your business. Generally Aussies are more happy and friendly compared to Kiwis. The Maoris (like the abbos here) there are not so welcoming and lagi nilang victim ang asians when it come to snatching bags you are still lucky coz nakakarinig ka lang ng salita. In Auckland babatuhin ka ng kahit ano pag napagtripan ka. Worst na nakita ko binato ng bote yung asian sa takot ko nagtago ako sa likod ng bus stop shed. And I've had travel around aussie and never encountered anything bad.

Ako wala rin directly na naranasan na discrimination mula sa mga Puti, 10 days ako total sa Sydney and Melbourne..
Actually lahat ng encounters ko with Aussies were nice and very helpful sila sa akin.
Ang na-encounter ko pa nga is matandang asian, binangga yung balikat ko habang tumitingin ako ng souvenirs sa Opera House gift shop… sobrang lakas talaga nung pagbangga nya at alam mong sinasadya… Ang ganda pa man din ng mood ko that time kasi nga first-time ko nun sa Opera House…
Gusto ko sana habulin at patirin eh, hindi ko na lang pinatulan kasi nga matanda… Pero sure ako turista yun kasi isang grupo sila ng turista na maiingay

@pinoykiwi_inOZ Nakita pa nga nung isang lalake (ewan kung ano lahi nun) dun sa shop yung ginawa sakin nung matanda tapos nakita ko napa-iling sya…
Madami nako napuntahan asian countries, and currently working in one, pero never ko naranasang mabastos ng ganun... Kaya kapag na-tyempuhan ka talaga...
Pero the best way to deal with it is umiwas na lang sa any altercation... yun kasi hanap ng mga ganyang tao... yung patulan sila. Kung hindi man ikaw ang mapahamak, baka ikaw naman ang makagawa ng hindi maganda dahil sa galit mo.

1995 - 1st time ko sa Sydney. Sa Coles malapit sa Hurstville, malay ko naman ikaw mismo kailangan magbag ng groceries mo at bata pa ako nun. Sagot sa akin ng cashier "bag it yourself'.
2006 - 2nd time sa Melbourne. Me lasing nakasuit pa ang lalaki ha naglalakad ako pauwi an dami ko pa naman dala nun at uphill sya pinagtritripan ako di ko maintindihan pinagsasabi hinaharangan daan ko. Buti na lang at inawat sya kasama nya at pinadaan ako.
Another day, me mga teenagers sa kotse sinisigawan ako habang nagdradrive e naglalakad lang ako. Deadma lang ako pero nakakatakot at baka bumaba sila bigla.
Tapos sa Adelaide, ganun din isang Linggo. Mga lalake din sa loob ng kotse pinagsisigawan ako habang naglalakad.
Muka kase akong inchik at maliit pa ako baka kala Koreana ako o Japon.

Uu sa pinas madami nyan kapag napasabay ka sa mga batang hamog, sa divisoria/ recto/ cubao, mas matindi nga ngaun may naglilibot pang white van na nangingidnap at rape, sa middle east din daw marami ganyan mga pasaway na local teenagers babatuhin ng itlog sasakyan mo or baseball bat salamin, pati mga menor de edad na nakakotse dun may mga balasubas daw sa daan. Halos kahit saan bansa, maliban lang cguro sa mga safe na bansa tlaga gaya dito sa sg.

wala pa akong na-experience na racism directed towards me. but i have experienced racism directed towards other ethnicities. both nangyari sa bus stop. first one, a car slowed down a young man shouted ebola! to an old african lady. the latest was a few days after the Charlie Hebdo attack, a group of young men and women stopped their car at the other side of the road shouted ISIS at a middle eastern lady wearing a burqa.
mabait pa naman. pinaapaupo nya ako kasi mainet sabi ko, wag na kasi i'm holding a grocery bag full of non-halal items (porkchops and sausages) eh leaking sya. sabi ko, wag na lang nya pansinin. baka mahilig sa fox news mga yan medyo mababa pang-unawa. natawa naman sya.

Naalala ko dati namention ng mga relatives namin from Melbourne na sobra raw talaga ang discrimination sa Australia noong 90s. Kahit sila ay nakaexperience din ng bad treatment dati nung mga panahon na yon. So meaning nangyayari nga ito dati, pero sa ngayon cguro isolated cases na lang yang racism. Masyadong diverse na kasi ang Australia ngayon at ipinagbabawal na rin ang racism dito. Sa katunayan, dito ko na ata nakita ang may pinakamababait at very concerned na mga tao (puti). Dito sa WA, same treatment ang nakikita ko kapag sumasakay ng public transport or sa mga stores (Asian ka man or puti or itim pare-pareho maayos ang pagtrato nila). Unlike sa Pinas, na naturingang very hospitable group of people daw, pero parang sa mga foreigners lang ata applicable yun (sa mga puti to be exact). Pero kapag sa kapwa pinoy na nila or sa ibang lahing hindi nila gusto, iba naman ang pinapakitang ugali ng karamihan ng mga pinoys.

agree. isolated case siguro. Been to Sydney, Melbourne and Perth, pero wala nmn kaming Naexperience na ganyn. I’m not sure why but I find them very polite and nice, way better than those in SG.
wala rin kami na-experience na discrimination when we went to sydney for a week.. pero pansin lang namin ng wife ko na sobrang serious ng mga tao sa sydney..walang ka-sense sense of humor.. mula sa taxi driver, receptionist sa hotel, sales lady sa damitan, cashier ng mcdo..
Kung sa CBD malamang kasi puro busy ang tao, lagi nagmamadali mag lakad, lahat mabilisan...
Pero given a chance and a healthy conversation is started, for sure hit yan, mahilig sila makipag kwentuhan, mahilig makipagtawanan, sa loob ng office bago mag start ang araw, hi hello, kamustahan, kwentuhan, side jokes and etc, then kapag idle time ganun din, minsan ikaw ang iiwas at mahilig sila makipag kwentuhan. Kapag Monday morning, kamustahan kung ano ginawa sa weekend, kung anong maganda ang naexperience nila. On Fridays, tatanungin ka kung ano plans mo for the weekend, mag susuggest sila kapag sinabi mo wala ka gagawin.
Special events, holiday, games, for example cricket, soccer, tennis, footy, make sure updated ka specially yung highlights at for sure yun ang simula ng isang magandang conversation.

May mga racist at pasaway lang na tao talaga. Problema din tlaga sa mga big countries yan kasi mahirap din ma control mga pasaway. Ok din nman exp ko sa australia, people are happier and friendlier than dito sa sg. Ang racist nman dito sa lugar na to is more on keyboard warriors lang or kapag nakatalikod/ indirectly kasi takot din sila sa harapan at comfrontations at least sa case/ experience ko.

been in Sydney for almost 5 years and have not heard of pinoys being racially discriminated. but I have witnessed once, a black woman in the train being treated differently by police patrolling the trains. they were inspecting the train tickets, I showed mine and they didn't even had a closer look but the black woman was asked for an ID and took a while before the 3 policemen moved to the other passengers.
Australians are generally nice and tolerant people.. at least most of them.

been here for five years and haven't experienced being racially discriminated even at work. most of my mates are OZs and they're very cool even to us Pinoyss (we're five in our company)....you only have to show them your true self....mas discriminating pa ang few pinoy dito hehe.....sad to note but that's a fact
@danyan2001us - most Filipinos are by nature racist or disciminating bai... kahit na dinadaan sa joke but fact remains it is still discrimination/racism.
ever heard people put you down kay bisaya ka? happens all the time!
Sad but true... kalahi mismo dini-discriminate ng karamihan ng Pinoys..
Pero ibang lahi na ang may nasabi satin, madaming sensitive, crying out racism agad.

True. Aussies are really friendly and nice. I'm actually snobbish to strangers or people I don't know. (which I think most Pinoys do din naman as safety precautions not to be hypnotized my kidnappers/holduppers/etc). My boyfriend would scold me all the time I failed to greet the people back or look and smile at them. Lol well I'm learning. Unleashing the friendliness inside me. Haha medyo napractice ko lang talaga yung advice dito sa Manila na "don't talk to the strangers".. lol

Actually lahat ng encounters ko with Aussies were nice and very helpful sila sa akin.
Ang na-encounter ko pa nga is matandang asian, binangga yung balikat ko habang tumitingin ako ng souvenirs sa Opera House gift shop… sobrang lakas talaga nung pagbangga nya at alam mong sinasadya… Ang ganda pa man din ng mood ko that time kasi nga first-time ko nun sa Opera House…
Gusto ko sana habulin at patirin eh, hindi ko na lang pinatulan kasi nga matanda… Pero sure ako turista yun kasi isang grupo sila ng turista na maiingay

Madami nako napuntahan asian countries, and currently working in one, pero never ko naranasang mabastos ng ganun... Kaya kapag na-tyempuhan ka talaga...
Pero the best way to deal with it is umiwas na lang sa any altercation... yun kasi hanap ng mga ganyang tao... yung patulan sila. Kung hindi man ikaw ang mapahamak, baka ikaw naman ang makagawa ng hindi maganda dahil sa galit mo.

2006 - 2nd time sa Melbourne. Me lasing nakasuit pa ang lalaki ha naglalakad ako pauwi an dami ko pa naman dala nun at uphill sya pinagtritripan ako di ko maintindihan pinagsasabi hinaharangan daan ko. Buti na lang at inawat sya kasama nya at pinadaan ako.
Another day, me mga teenagers sa kotse sinisigawan ako habang nagdradrive e naglalakad lang ako. Deadma lang ako pero nakakatakot at baka bumaba sila bigla.
Tapos sa Adelaide, ganun din isang Linggo. Mga lalake din sa loob ng kotse pinagsisigawan ako habang naglalakad.
Muka kase akong inchik at maliit pa ako baka kala Koreana ako o Japon.

Pero given a chance and a healthy conversation is started, for sure hit yan, mahilig sila makipag kwentuhan, mahilig makipagtawanan, sa loob ng office bago mag start ang araw, hi hello, kamustahan, kwentuhan, side jokes and etc, then kapag idle time ganun din, minsan ikaw ang iiwas at mahilig sila makipag kwentuhan. Kapag Monday morning, kamustahan kung ano ginawa sa weekend, kung anong maganda ang naexperience nila. On Fridays, tatanungin ka kung ano plans mo for the weekend, mag susuggest sila kapag sinabi mo wala ka gagawin.
Special events, holiday, games, for example cricket, soccer, tennis, footy, make sure updated ka specially yung highlights at for sure yun ang simula ng isang magandang conversation.
