If you do hear stories about racial discrimination here its mostly against the aboriginal and torres strait islanders, you have to do a bit of reading about it to fully understand how it all came about. I have met filipnos here who have adopted some misconceptions about the aboriginals and I do correct them like not to say "Abo" and not to say things that are degrading to them around aussies.
In saying that, I think na-adopt ng mga pinoy dito yung discriminitative attitude sa pinas like "promdi" "bisaya", or "baluga" those terms are considered very racist if you think about it. And when I used to work with chinese sa pinas they feel more superior compared sa mga pinoy even when they were born in pinas.
Australia is a very politically correct society and so people here are careful with the language they use so even if you think one is racist unless that person said " I cant hire you because of your sex, race, religion or cultural background" you cannot just accuse her of being racist or discriminating.

Anyways, I personally think hinde tatagal JB dito, bka max 2 years. ksi
1) Wla silang HALAL license for the muslims
2) Singaporean don't like sweet food , they mostly appreciate spicy food
3) Puro kababayan ang nag wo-work , kaya nag complain mga locals
4) Hmm.. yung mga well off na pinoy once wala na yung hype, mag JB nlang yan once a month when they go to lucky plaza. so... ganon.
Well as for me, withdraw ko na 10 years cpf ko , tapos December pasko pinas, tapos UWE AUSTRALIA na ako... bye bye singapore.

Yung isang pang example yung tingin natin sa mga bakla...tuwang tuwa tayo kina Vice Ganda pag nagpapatawa pero huwag ka, kung may artistang ayaw umamin na paminta siya ansama na ng tingin ng mga Pinoy sa kanya, daig pa ang nakapatay ng tao haha..
Anyway I'm going off topic na sorry hehe...kay threadstarter, huwag ka mag-alala sa issue ng racism...kung meron man sa Australia, bawal yung hayagang papahiyain ka kasi bawal sa batas nila yun

By the way, I don't know about Caucasians but some Asians are more racist towards Filipinos based on my past work experiences working in two different Asian countries and some accounts of you here about SG. Well we Filipinos are no good either and I think we should start changing.
I heard this from a friend of mine from California, "Too much Nationalism leads to Racism, that simply caused the Holocaust". Perhaps he was right..

1. napakalupit natin magdiscriminate ng mga bisaya, salitang inday is a well respected word in the visayas but not in Manila and Luzon.
2. sobrang sama tingin natin sa mga katulong, etc. More fun in the phil parating joke ng bayan ang mga katulong, tuloy ikinahiya na ng kultura at sambayanan. Yung culture natin parang bading culture na.. meron pa tayo mga terms like "longkatuts" etc, degrading dun sa mga mararangal na nagtratrabaho.
3. same din sa mga materyal na bagay, cellphone etc. sobra tayo manlait ng mga taong kunyari ang celllphone ay lumang model, chinese brand... etc. dinadaan sa pajoke, kakatawa pero in the end kakatawa na yung nagiging mga ugali natin.. pati bata namamana yung pagpapahalaga sa mga branded na mga items instead na maging masaya sa mamunting meron sila.
4. marami pa iba ibang discriminasyon sa hitsura, trabaho, propesyon, amoy, style ng buhok, pananamit, kulay ng balat, asawa, anak, magulang, sapatos, pabango, etc.
lagay na nating masayahin tayo, dinadaan natin sa joke yung mga panlalait... pero in the end kinakain na tayo ng maling kulturang ganito. para tayong bansa na nasa loob ng isang malaking comedy bar. dinagdagan pa ng media nating puro si KRis Aquino at Vice Ganda ang parating nakikita, at mga pulitikong nangungurakot (na hindi umaamin kahit huli na).
Maliban sa forum na ito, na naging propesyunal at mababait ang mga members.. try nyo pumasok sa mga common international forums ng gaming, social media etc... hulaan nyo kung sino usually ang pinaka basura magmura, manlait at mga bastos sa forum na parating nibaban ng mga admisnitrators. yeap - tayo, pinoy.
To conclude - tayo ang isa sa mga pinakaracist at patuloy na lumalala dahil sa media natin sa ating bansa. Pwede pang magbago, pero kailangan ng bansa natin mga kagaya natin na ipamulat na may mali sa mga nagyayari sa atin. Ito ang malaking dahilan kung bakit, umalis ako sa pinas at lilipat sa Oz.

Natumbok mo bro, parang Comedy Bar nga ang Pinas... laging "excuse" ng karamihan sa Pinoy na "masayahin" kasi tayo... pero minsan, at the expense na ng panlalait sa kapwa...
Nawala na yung breeding, values, “class”, at higit sa lahat kabutihang-asal ng karamihan sa Pinoys…
Hindi naman kailangangang maging mayaman ka para magkaroon ka ng breeding or class… values at kabutihang-asal sapat na.
Kahit may mga pinag-aralan ngayon, bumababa na lang sa level ng maling pag-uugali, para "in", kasi naging masyado na tayong tolerant sa panlalait sa isat-isa… “Fun” yun sa tingin ng karamihan…
Kawawa yung mga batang henerasyon na ganyan yung nakikita…
Kaya bago tayo maging overly sensitive sa pagiging rude at racist ng ibang lahi… siguro mas mabuting tingnan muna natin yung mga sarili natin.

Hanggat mapag-pakinibangan ka ay kaibigan ka nila. Pero pagkatapos ka nang pakinabangan at wala nang kailangan sa yo, iiwanan ka na lang sa ere kahit wala kang ginawang kasalanan.
Ang napansin ko dito sa Oz ngayon na nakatira at nakapagtrabaho na ako ng mahigit na sampung-taon ay ang mga puti ay nakakaranas din ng diskriminasyon din sa sarili nilang kapwa. May nakatrabaho akong puti na parating nag-kukwento ng mga bagay na kinaiinisan nya sa kapwa puti na lahi pag kausap nya sa telepono, o makausap harap-harapan, o makasalubong sa daan. Nakakaranas din sila ng pagwalang-galang at pagbabastos ng kapwa nila.
Ang isa pang napansin ko ay kaya sinasabi nila na may diskriminasyon dito sa Oz ay dahilan sa sobrang daming kultura na dito. Ang magandang ugali sa ating mga Pinoy ay marunong tayo makibagay at sumunod sa batas (sa ibang bansa), hindi kagaya ng ibang lahi na hindi marunong bumagay o sumunod at gusto pa rin sundin ang sarili nilang kultura imbes na maki-bagay sa batas at kultura ng mga puti.
Sa maiksing salita...bumilib ka na lang sa sarili mo at huwag mo silang intindihin. Huwag ka na lang mag-aksaya ng panahon sa kanila kasi sayang lang. Pagtawanan mo na lang. Maganda nga i-apply yung common phrase ng mga puti na 'no worries mate' pag nakaranas ka ng diskriminasyon.

Pero kung ang concern ng TS ay directed ba ito sa mga Pinoy, hindi masyado.
They're more biased against other, umm, more perceived 'aggressive' cultures. At least that's the case in Sydney.
